Lost in the sands of forgotten times
Lies a treasure from a distant past
Fellows, we must recapture this trinket
Of lost passions and intellect
From long buried centuries passed
We still have so little to teach
And infinitely too much to learn
O Fortune’s wheel! It has turned!
The princely one’s reign has ended
Days of hell-bent fury and rage
Have only now just begun
Here the poet writes oh so solemnly
On the bloodstained pages of his diary
“Lest we forget the humble beginnings
From which we all once began!”
