Increasingly hard to discern

Thus must be

The inestimable testament of my low deeds dictated aloud:

Scenes from a life which no joy allowed.

Every scribe hired out expires shortly thereafter

Soon they’ll die out like cowards never seem to do in battle.

I meet them, repeat my life’s meat, then death greets them

No sooner seated are ferried to a heated hereafter.

My mind’s unblind eye the Almighty’s last endowment

I have come to regret casting her dowry into the sea

In an effort to prove, to quote me

That you are worth more to me

Than your worth in gold could ever reach.
