NO PLEDGES by FLORA J. ARNSTEIN

First Line: FOREVER IS A TIMELESS WORD
Last Line: ARE WE SECURE.

@3Forever@1 is a timeless word
Yet harbors death;
Fetter our lips lest inadvertently
We give it breath.

Say only @3Now@1, the sovereign @3Now@1, ill-fated
To endure.
Life momently illumined, only of this
Are we secure.
