Extract from permission,
submission's guarantee;
gang with keepers of the plank,
ranked and pedigreed.
The rise through lies embraced
is acknowledged by The Fall;
Angels reverse true order made

none know the real stakes.
Pebbles on the horizon
rupture Karma on the make.
The shell that's known gets split,
scatters shards of what's been done,
an end to times untended
and protection that is gone.
Eat all the worms.
Fill up while you can.
Early bird at dawn;
One Generation Man.
