The sacred cloth did on its bosom bear,
A creed that to its wearer shone the path.

With torso well-adorned by wisdom told.
In times unsure he turns to its command,
And finds within a guidance borne of old.

But he who dodges fate shall rush to meet it,
And soon he finds his outfit bland and trite.
For missing is the jewel that did complete it,
And empty is the drawer that held its might.
