Age Be Not Proud

Age Be Not Proud

Age be not proud,
Thy wisdom shall rue the day,
Rage, rage against the fading fire,
Let not thy focus stray.

Age be not proud,
Accepting the impending light,
Rage, rage against the fading fire,
Against the dying light.

Age be not proud,
Subsides to the rule of youth,
Rage, rage against the fading fire,
Disseminating thy sacred truth.

Age be not proud,
Yield thyself unto change,
Rage, rage against the fading fire,
Your wisdom they'll admire,
And thine light will inspire,
The youth to inquire,
Of days believed to be strange.

Big Bertha

Big Bertha

There in darkness, beneath a torch's flare,
I met my Bertha and her green-eyed stare,
We blasted, together, demons and ghosts,
We chopped up zombies, parasitic hosts,
Surfed a sea of information's delight,
Flying as one in the soft candlelight,
And spired castles we verily breach'd,
Glittering treasures together we reach'd,
Yet as flames of battles past there perished,
It was Bertha's operas I most cherished,
Sweet arias of clicks and of rattles,
Grand concertos exalting our battles.
   Ev'n as wings of blue death there pleated,
   Bertha sneered, denied she'd been defeated.
