How can we measure the nature of time?
The strength of sunrise or tire o’ Chronos chime?
Chasing, toiling, or stretching thin?
Who weighs the force of man within?
Who determines failure or the sway of might?
Be we all Sisyphus, scorned and no right?
Or are we Atalanta, conquering fates of the Gods?
May no meter capture the luck of our odds?
Perhaps we’re all seconds, no matter or mean?
Or perhaps we’re last champion one second redeem?
To leave it all up to fate would be pity and shame,
For valor favors the strong, the witty, and those who claim—
Let us seek then to make, to weave, and tell songs,
Of the dust we created by the fates we proved wrong—
Let not man submit to defeat or to blame,
Instead let us rally, this life yet to tame.
