Analysis of Dementia Pathos
Dementia Pathos
Dementia demi
Spins over the orb,
Remembrance claiming
Through chaos of drops
Through windfuls of tempests,
Through fires of strikes:
Beware you, tenets,
Heaps stinking of rugs!..
Memorial mori –
Life stone creates
To chisel your warrant,
To put in your blade,
To make Hero’s stature
And earn holy Right:
For Legend to cure
Souls seeking their light!..
Let statues and temples
Be crushed and restored –
And grandsons of vandals
Their essence adore:
Dementio-cratos
In auto-start –
Rebirth its new pathos,
Frankincense and nard!..
