mud and dust

why is it we must strive to rise above our mundane earthly callings ?
any fool can see this world will just render us down to mud and dust
could it be what stirs this pot is much darker than we care to know ?

there's a timeless hungry beast out there crouched awaiting for us all
neither evil demon of our myths nor monstrous specter of our dreams
but such a creature who was born to serve an ancient primal function

our holiest of scriptures declare that mighty caesar must have his due
he who's chosen to reap these levied taxes is of quite a special breed
for if the tariff taken is neither goods nor gold, it will likely be in blood
