"on the altar; your daughter 

lives; the wind is still;

and your father

is mortal." ~ Schiff

A haplogroup was present and was

Subsequently lost. Know what that means?

Many people left no survivors.

Many of their revenants are so

Ancient that people today are not

Relevant for understanding them.

This is the way. The most successful

Lineage is only what's present

Of the recently past. All the rest 

Were lost. Thus the future reaches back

To remind us we too have no future

Sooner or later. Something else will

Appear to have been right in this past

That we are, and we will have been wrong.

That is, if anything considers

A past at all in those brilliant days.

Considering the past may be why

We were wrong for the future they'll live.

Shakespeare, that consummate technician 

Of human contemplation, artist

God modeling social dynamics,

Left behind two surviving children.

Turn the crank a few generations

And there's nothing left but words, words, words.
