Surreptitiously Unreal
(acrostic poem)
Softly speaking
Uttering the word
Rapturously seeking
Rhymes we have heard
Exceptional Verses
Perfectly Spoken
The worshippers wonder
If this is a token
They hear you are speaking
In an unknown tongue
One the Gods utter
Using the Gods' Speech
Sounding no longer
Like you are human
You rise from your seat
Urgently telling them
Now in your own voice
Rede them of Danger
Ever at hand
All of them listening
Linked hands together
