Power of the Will (The Romantic Missive)

Sit back
and watch the heads hang
the romantics
are at it again

The Will supreme
they dream
will bring to man
a godly gain

And last of all
they hope when through
reason alone
will be due

To emotion
as imagination is due
a priori

And marking time
they await worlds end
when sensibility
will reach a pinnacled pitch

From the Jacobin press
to Reich’s without end
to all  the suns & milky ways
the goal is the nihil

And having won
they find that one
is not as sublime
as the aggregate mind

And finally they kill
ethics without emotion
for the bungled & botched
and the power of the Will
