leeches dominant,
hauntings inevitable –
survival of the strongest,
destiny for the weak.

knowledge forgotten,
wisdom ignored –
revival of the worthy,
oblivion for the meek.

belong to nowhere,
beloved by none;
the leeches bite deep,
the hauntings consume.

go back to nowhere,
remembered by none;
the knowledge was false,
the wisdom begone.

i do not fear the fall –
i fear craving for it.
