Esoteric Nonlinear Errata:

Esoteric Nonlinear Errata:

A Poem by carl
"

esoteric -for or likely to be understood by only a few nonlinear - not linear, sequential, or straightforward Errata - a list of errors or mistakes

"

When venture is begun

two captives very young 

no altar call mercy seat- 

a joyous garden replete. 


Palace path then started 

favored winds at the back

faulty guilt freely shared-

sorrow born without lack.


Here clearly spoken words

failed elicit cautious course

on precognitive real event-

before final veil cloth rent.


Where they built the tower

thereafter following flood 

planned heavenly ladder- 

instead got babble chatter. 


Minions gathered to stare

inviting Pythagoras best 

humming celestial sphere- 

harmonizing along as jest. 


Stragglers abandon town

fearing strong man's frown

lip syncing falsetto phrases- 

to castigate past strangers.


So continues gaming souls

holding cards against chest

waits unlucky dealer fade-

covets spots on last parade.


Fearful upcoming at night

solutions follow a premise  

expecting augment train-

safely at home come rest.

Biblical indeed this bleeds with stories from Eden to the tower the renting of the veil. Nicely worded and presented my friend.
