[porphyry]

Invocation

I ask, O Muse, what you cannot grant,

That you infuse the pure into the impure,

That you pour the divine into the impious,

That you contaminate Mind with paranoia,

That you put the living among lifeless automata,

That you cast the innocent into the devouring pit,

That you condemn the noble to be mocked,

That you send a redeemer to the damned,

I ask, O Muse, that you send poetry into this world.

Why an Upper Case Mind?

It stands in for the Greek Nous, which some would count as being divine.
