Gray robes and stone stand timeless vigil while history lies beyond

The last Jabberwocky sits
In darkest pit
Alone
Trapped by boundaries eternal    
Awaiting time’s final chime to rescind its crime
Truth
Knowing all
Having shared it

Pen and paper recorded the story
Censorship spoke refrain
Highest authority took priority
While flames claimed what remain

Now there’s only silence
And solitude
The last Jabberwocky sits  
In darkest pit
Alone
Trapped by boundaries eternal
Awaiting time’s final chime to rescind its crime
While history lies beyond
