“Lies
all lies,”
said the man,
foot stuck in goo,
Tantalus, God mocks
without wine or grapes
maple Syrup makes a good
adhesive for souls before Luther
for indulgences can only get you
just outside the pearly gates of heaven

The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ,
Moves on: nor all your Piety nor Wit
Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line,
Nor all your Tears wash out a Word of it

-- Omar Khayyam

    This is visually appealing and leaves one wondering which side of the gates they'll be on. :)
    Forget your perfect offering, there is a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in. - Leonard Cohen
