                          Amen 'em Vanity

 

          To this cause of human entity,

          belongs to no grace amen;

          Well to this mercy, thou pity

          On thy maze, ever marked vanity.

 

           May to this all distortions be made,

           but relied the none, to me heresy;

           Then doth no way revert may fade

           Thou shall trench art, nor shall mercy.

                                               -IshikaJain
