Forgotten Lord
Deep into the night of the harrowing dawn,
old voices went astray
And fast on the morning of no return,
final judgment came to stay
Crashing like a wave was the prophet's voice,
this time not to be ignored
Washing away the excuse and the false remorse,
with damnation---forgotten Lord
(Grantham New Hampshire: March, 2015)
