The Jack of Kings, the mechanism of man and nation governed and wielded through purpose of device of politics and fears the Jack of Kings the trump card that turns man and nation into a war machine. The crests, Dragon, Lion, snake and Man.. Vision, courage, knowledge and man himself... the promise of what would be, may be and that has come to pass.

"Poem Untitled"

Gears ever golden with truths' cause
Teeth red and torn,
Hot, burning with Passions' blood,
Reason lost to purpose of man and nation
Promises whispered in a madness
The machine of Man marches on.

Crowns, teeth of kings
Where in duty's rites men bleed and burn,
Ever ardent with Passions' rites,
Half mad, half blind with truth
Ever obedient, footfalls drumming, they march on.

Spectres of Kings,
Tales whispered in blood's unspoken deeds,
Golden eye, it's dagger'd stare,
Piercing veils unseen,
Silence's whispered kiss...
Footfalls thundering on.

In glory's haunt and dreams rich with tyranny,
Visions of kings witching and damning men in soul
Footfalls of innocence mad with desire march on.

Gears ever golden with truths' cause
Teeth red and torn,
Hot, burning with Passions' blood,
Diamond'd tears forged in furies' prayers,
the man machine marches on.
