Positioning

Preservation of power
Falsely hoping this hour
leads to granite gifts
immortalized for history

Where has fiber gone?
Lost in covetous dawn
Counting on ravenous rifts
Confounding myth with mystery

Does reflection disgust?
Or objectify your bust
Life blesses as it sifts
Our personal paths to glory

Will I tell the truth?
In age as not in youth
This measure of my self
Will tell the greatest story

Can we extract the might?
To do what we know is right
Rising to that selfless shelf
Whether mean or Whig or Torie
