de-spIRE

engraving by Dore, from Dante's 'Divine Comedy'
I’m huddled here in the dark.
…how the pre-dawn light is so stark
As I stumble to make my mark
On this parchment made from Ash bark.
So… shall I conspire to inspire you to aspire to the desire to de-spire the spire of the hell-fire illuminati empire?
Can’t you hear the cadenced stance of the rising republic’s ire?
-Iliad Alexander Terra
