Requiem For An Antecedent
That prophecy awaiting forecast's rhyme
it will be so, adversity's culled drive
incineration stalks with warlike pine
inauguration's trust, to resent life!
What covenant's assert, be it the state
of well to do, or slur, confirming's grit
as chosen, nor impure, but truth's relate
the privacy of purpose strength's remit.
Still beckoning, as days become incur
and registries assumption records, borrows
necessities compare, while perils mirror
its planned precision, mind-sets muse with carol.
Disaster, is its measure rank to scare soul
when all recorded entries sensed its course
and yet the vanity certain was arrow
while risk, protection, and restraint were source!
Prepare the unknown, God would save referral
all bridges uniform destruction's lay
awaiting timely jurisdiction's narrow
one day again, all sameness in array!
While man seeks destiny, the odds now viral
surviving, stacking entities accord
the way is wrought, division is the herald
a wearing thin, negotiations ford!
