As wispy, vaporous risings that

Permeate a patch of time and space,

To end, but banished into the vast

And  boundless void, all history of

Deeds and graces of  every man and

Hominoid will perish, with useless

Strife and struggle for all his beliefs, 

His shibboleths and spectral wraiths;

Such, indeed, is the embarrassment

Of human importance, fame and faiths!
