Word Duel
. for public domain
Alongside our souls, before the Immensity,
the Visions of the Infinite Horror or Joy,
stand Witness in Silence, of Terror, of Awe,
of what Life creates, or lets It destroy.
That moment defines who we are with a Word,
Affirmation, Condemnation before the Absurd,
and a Fortunate Few have the will then to speak,
and humanity follows, some blindly and weak.
The Mighty Effulgent, the Immeasurably Bleak,
choose what we will, in our triumphs or sinnings,
watch your words well, for from what we speak,
we fall to our End, or embrace new Beginnings.
