COMING SOON
How soon and with what ring of certainty
Will one last cataclysmic advent come?
And where with highly subtle sovereignty
Will He the Loving Bringer bring it from,
And to what place and at what time design
To make the greatest impact on mankind?
One truth is known with utmost surety
Our numbered sins have nearly reached their sum.
We feel it in our steep receding brows,
We see it in the images we make.
What will it take our consciousness to rouse
And from our wicked slumber dreams forsake?
Our temperature is rising by degrees
Too small to quantify our deep disease.
One verity our Master disavows:
He is the very essence of the Snake.
