A House Of Madness

Lend purchase to the Immortal Soul, 

do this before you offer up the Innocence of a child,

as the tranquility of your life. 

The simple sale of an offspring,

to obtain that which should naturally be unobtainable,

broke the Laws of the Land.  

The reckless appeal of Humankind,

into the courts of the Lords of the Dark, 

caused a riff in the tides of man,

changing the Laws of the Divine. 

Thus the Rules,

 of the Darkest Under-Lords, 

were known. 

The Laws that were broken, 

the laws that reach down, 

into the midst of the ones, 

that are better when not named, 

is where this small life was thrown. 

Tenderness was not known,

to this small being, 

however, 

it was found and given freely, 

as if it were their own. 

Protection was not present from the maternal one, 

but would be delivered, 

by the Demons,

brought to life on that day. 

Knowledge was seen by this small life, 

in the darkest prayer of night, 

just not understood. 

What should have been the terror of an innocent.

became the joy of the guilty, 

sending back not a small life, 

but rather, 

a Child of the Guild.

The tones which drive,

the self-purchase of such a Soul, 

straightened the view and the depth of sight.  

Upon such value,

was placed a "Gift of Guise"

this was put onto the small one.  

The defilement, 

of such a soulful site, 

was transgressed by the fool hearty,

and ill-tongued foulness,

of man.

Discernment ruled in such accord.  

The reckless arguments,

later in life,

will be determined and known,

"well-deep" to the "Ancient Ones" 

of the Unnamed.  

Delivering the time between;  

Hence for the Revival,

of such "Age in Wisdom" 

and,

 "Understanding"

of the,

 "Child of the Guild"

 will enable All,

to converse with the Dead.
