The shameless man begins and stops anew.
He breaches faith and finds another sin.
He bends the truth and binds himself to pain,
and ends his life in broken misery.

The foolish man embraces things mundane.
He bows before the ordinary craft.
He spends his waking hours chasing smoke,
and ends a life that was no life at all.

The vicious man pursues his prey with glee.
He breaks the bones of those who block his path.
He tears apart the innocents he finds,
and ends his life as prey to predator.

The prideful man surmounts the people’s tower.
He calls the weak to bow before his throne.
He judges those who fall within his power,
and ends his life as prisoner to fate.

The faithless man ignores the signs inside.
He bruises truth to build his fantasy.
He calls a horde to burn down holy towers,
and ends his life a victim of his flames.

What sort of man will you be in the end?
Will you do good to those who bring you harm?
Will you remember hope when darkness comes,
and find the truth and spring to life anew?
