SOLITARY LETTERS - There Exists A Greater Cause

There Exists A Greater Cause

There exists a greater cause

Which cooks strength in cripples' feet.

Indeed such cause does exist:

Buried and sealed in us.

There exists a greater cause;

Though mortals seek for lint

To lick their wrestling tint;

Only sightly does it pause.

There lived a greater cause

Witnessed by the silent sand,

Wept for by the trivial land:

Six struck behind the cross.

There exists a greater cause!

Buried and sealed in us.
