Excelsior

I watched from a low bridge expecting a deed

As they hoist the walls that barricade the rigid

Upholding the laws written on polished cuneiforms

Like sails in a ship, navigating storms


What's high, and mighty if nothing is worshipped?

Life-giving linkage a native of silver cord

Fallacies patterned equipped for the weak

Their hymn hailing high horses of the horde
