Victory or defeat is the fate of this journey
A journey not new nor of great antiquity,
This voyage which is neither penance nor reward
This journey which is bereft of a god;
Your triumph is insignificant, my defeat inconsequential
This is neither a beginning nor an ending that is final,
The brawl for persistence has not yet begun
Then why this furor, for a final decision?
Like a silent rumor comes the news of calamity
Did someone hear or was it unheeded entirely?
A few were disciples but nobody believed
A few rose from the ground but lingered unredeemed.
If this be procession its doom is known
No one is either a stranger, or entirely unknown,
None is pleased with another, nor is angry
None pauses to ask if the other is unhappy
