Etched In Stone

Humanity born on the bone of an earthen mound
froze graphics on cave walls hail their Ice Age strive,
wall carvings speak three trees, a forest be sound,
harsh times craft crept the charged choice to thrive,
they owned their time, and those old craved their life. 

The continental divide craft the Americas,
termed yarn cave lifers to cliff dwellers,
from the mountainous Incans Cuzco etchers Transamerica's,
Aztec and Mayan walled labyrinth kaleidoscopic cellars,
and Far East Orient, and Indian subcontinent chiselers.
 
Biblically phrased had enlighten the world of Christians,
as writings on the wall are prophetically profound,
the world's a better place for Catholics and Protestants, 
most have read that Scripture blesses all Faiths as sound,
Christ states to the fish and loave eaters on top of a mound.

Throughout time, an omen from The Rock of Ages,
from a second or to a millennium of years ago,
says nothing but for the claimant to ascertain the sages,
and so a man of God locked in the den of lions. Oh, woe!
Sees Daniel alive surrounded by lions.  King mop & mow.

Wars between King Nebuchadnezzar and The Persians 
and The Medes that had led to his loss and surrender,
and eventually to his death. The Persians claimed versions 
of the city of Babylon, and The Medes took the other,
half yond Babylon. Nebuchadnezzar reflects, dies a believer.

Words on the wall are meant for just you to fathom. 
Do not dawdle, if there's time, sleep on it. Then awake 
and process what might be a deep chasm or a tiny atom. 
Your righteousness doubted, rid the evil, and do what it take 
to claim, the Way, the Truth, and the Life as a keepsake.
