Inevitability<\/h2>\r\n\r\n

\r\nSlowly, slowly the progress,
\r\nThrough the shadows of egress,
\r\nCareful, careful, don’t regress,
\r\nTo such a state of depress.\r\n<\/p>

\r\nCalmly, Calmly, must not see,
\r\nTerror rampant in dark sea,
\r\nCalmly, calmly, must foresee,
\r\nDanger come from prophecy.\r\n<\/p>

\r\nSybil, Sybil, oh mighty,
\r\nOh how great of a pity,
\r\nObey, obey, fate’s nasty,
\r\nInevitability.\r\n<\/p>

\r\nEnter, enter, this new verse,
\r\nPromised journey, so adverse,
\r\nTruly, truly, what a curse,
\r\nAn existence oh so terse.\r\n<\/p>

\r\nQuickly, quickly, no delay,
\r\nOh if only to allay,
\r\nUnfold, unfold, disarray,
\r\nUntold panic one must pray.\r\n<\/p>

\r\nSudden, sudden, acceptance,
\r\nOh but with no reluctance,
\r\nFinal, final, repentance
\r\nPeaceful at last, no more tense.\r\n<\/p>

\r\nOh sweet, oh sweet, the embrace,
\r\nOf Death, old friend in this place,
\r\nPeaceful, peaceful, no more trace,
\r\nAs you disbark from this race.\r\n<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
