The Second Coming

Conceived a king amid a war, within
The age of Pisces. Newest moon began
The term of human being gestation
The hope of mankind, and savior of Man.
Then from the east a sign ascending, climbs
The scales of justice. Ten degrees hereby
Have marked the birth of Him a second time.
The sun will reach the stubborn Taurus sky
And greet the ever-fleeting mercury.
Disguised a bull from doubting eyes of man
Avoiding cruel exposure: Misery,
The kind of torture where it first began.
This time he’ll come and save the few again.
The wicked shall lose all the few have gained.
