The text appears to be a mix of poetry and reflective questions, possibly related to themes of spiritual or moral reflection. There are no visible art or doodles, only the text.

-
Will he be humbled?
Can he learn?
Will the divine light
On will his life serve,
In the end, only as a
mythic tale of
consumption by evil?
that I've been taught
burning in us all - flicker
again.
We will see.
Will he be doomed
by pride + blame?
Or will the mercy that
is available to us all
make it's way through
that thick shield?
