at the rubicon

[fledgist]

the word is spoken and shall not return

we ask permission now freely to speak

none would allow the session to adjourn

 

so little time to express due concern

for those required by fortune to be meek

the word is spoken and shall not return

 

you aren't allowed to cross the final burn

nor see what lies beyond the sunlit peak

none would allow the session to adjourn

 

nor see just what the dignified would spurn

as subject to the militant critique

the word is spoken and shall not return

 

what we have left you may not soon discern

it is not in the class of goods you seek

the word is spoken and shall not return

none would allow the session to adjourn
