Auld Acquaintance Forgot

Wrought by hand
Shall not long stand
When reckoned 
By eternal. 

Fore thrice had crowed
The cockerel, 
And the reaping 
Of denarii sowed, 
Truth betrayed, 
Compassion waylaid. 
 
Millenia thence,  
Mans’ offense,
Heart’s recompense.
By eternal beckoned, 
To  eternal reckoned. 

Domains of man
Lie neath the sands
Of cyclic time and 
Doctrines mimed 
Without the seed 
of divine creed. 

Millenia hence, 
Heart’s offense,
Mans’ recompense. 
By eternal reckoned,
To eternal beckoned.
