Under

 I
I AM the undertow
Washing tides of power
Battering the pillars
Under your things of high law.
II I am a sleepless Slowfaring eater, Maker of rust and rot In your bastioned fastenings, Caissons deep.
III I am the Law Older than you And your builders proud.
I am deaf In all days Whether you Say "Yes" or "No".
I am the crumbler: To-morrow.
