Delta
I walked to the far ends of the world and
talked to the northern and southern races
about elegance and freedom
that enhanced
the ultimate perfectness
for self-discovery
and acceptance and
they all laughed at my face
such a selfish man I was
that they called me names
foolish and a laughingstock
of my days and when
I stood guard
at the western borders
I was taken as a lunatic
like all other defenders
of our ancient traditions
which appeared through cracks
of my mind
past, forgotten days
and discarded months
to unforgettable years when I talked
to the dead soldiers and
became merciless when
I stood at the far ends of the world
as time was allotted
only once and only once
I had the chance to
turn injustice into justice.
