Description
"The Greatest Fear"

I fought with ever-constant will
the disembarkation of stern
reality upon the shores
of fallacy self-built, the bed
where slept by dreams of Truth.  As they
could not continue slumbering,
their death so small, so I could lie
no more.  To king, to knave, and to
myself was I now forced to show
the flimsy fantasy that was
our past hallucination.  Gone
is the restful shelter.  Gone is the
injustice paid as peace's price,
the bag of silver for a kiss
of death.  So much I fear of this
cold time of righteous reckoning,
for even I may be before
all eyes and ears as wanting judged.
