Breccbairdne: The Journey is Outdated

Man makes his tunnel,
an act beyond mortal.
A cavity driven
to cheat time by portal.

Speed foremost unites
the ultimate ideals,
yet, what the depths concealed,
the price of pace reveals

Now we can warrant
value by the decree:
Destination only,
and forget the journey.
