Querent
I took a Major Arcana Tarot card deck,
And put foretelling to the test.
The querent would be the Earth,
With a past, present and future spread for our mirth.
I guess I'm the 'King of Swords',
The proud significator;
Of reading the divine fortune,
For the children of the world's holy creator...
Reversed 'Justice' is drawn for the past,
It's for the balance of things as laws would grasp.
It seems as if nature's harmony has flawed,
Breaking the equilibrium of natural law.
'The Star' reversed is for the present,
Happiness replaced by an opposing malevolence.
If disenchantment is our foe,
We have to get into the know!
'The Emperor' is upright, for the future,
Perhaps this leader will provide the sutures;
An authority on good and what we need,
To heal the earth and stop the bleed.
I hope you believe what I hollered;
Please go to your purse, that will be five dollars.
