Josh

Con-Quest

Man:

I shall conquer thy planet,

Mine thine ore

From thy secret wells,

Stop thine orbit

Whence thou revolveth.

Thou and thine shall be mine.

God made and giveth.

Earth:

Never!

My reign shall fall to none,

Mine orbit shall last for ever.

Thou come, thou go,

Thou enter, thou exit,

Thou live, thou die.

Thou art a glowing dream that fadeth when I wake,

That fleeth my memory,

That leaveth me more in want than if I never knew thee.

What mattereth thee?

Man:

I am nothing and matter less.

Why mourn for naught?

Thou shalt bask in my compassion,

Accept mine unending pardon,

Yield thyself,

Take off thy guilt.

I shall lead thee,

Direct mine armies over thy glorious mountains,

Tame thy wild parts,

Deftly remove thy blame.
