To and Fro

The
pendulum
                   sways
                    back
and
forth
               man
               centred
for
a while
                egos
                awash
'til
drowning
                  then
                   in
decadent's
bile
               a
               phoenix
will
from
              the ash
              and pain
           there
spring
forth
               as
               God
resumes
His
             rightful
             place
again
His
              peace
              once
more
to
               reign
