O, I slept light
While I saw my succors,
My success,
Stolen from me in a dream.
I had worked hard
Yet another had received
The profit of my labor:
Almost like the Preacher said.
I dreamt of it,
His riches,
His honor,
His glory,
His might.
Yet, it was with my words
That he won my Cup.
I am as yet still unknown.
Does this phantom lurk?
Is the doppelganger real?
The very man I have dreamt about?
Does the phantom truly exist?
While he feasts
Must I fast?
While he enjoys the stolen bread
Must I subsist upon only crumbs?
Mark 13:51Jesus saith unto them, Have ye understood all these things? They say unto him, Yea, Lord. 52Then said he unto them, Therefore every scribe which is instructed unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old.
