O wisest man of skill and speech,
That goodly men doth fain beseech,
To flite with greedy masters rich,
That thrive as swinkers delve their ditch.
Lest folk be blind in night unread,
The light of ken, their right, ye shed.
By standard bright, I hope your hand
Will lead all folks about the land,
To freedom’s bliss and knowledge hale,
Lest life become some lifeless sale.
Happy birthday, Sephiroth Katana ! drinks
