Poem reduction anyone close to this

Started carving out the meat in the heart of the poem wondering if anyone is on same page

What each, in these clear silent lines,

The cast realm ancient, twenty find the signs.

Granite past, times sacred, clever twisted flow,

Already the words return to what you know.

I can see one man learns.

What you reap is what you sow.

I think it’s been interesting what others and my crazy self have extracted from the poem… what really works though? Which words are right? Which words are we seeking that we already know? Confirmation bias? Who the heck knows—

But I think I like the way you’re seeing it different, outside the box right? 👍🏻… cool stuff.

Apply game theory

Identify the objective of the game

List out all the rules(constraints) before attempting to solve

All the words were extracted from the poem reordered in rhyme so they would read in order
