How the contrast
with what went before
never calculated
what ill future years held in store
How the contrast
we had lore
and we have more
yet want we more
how the contrast
So it has come
that we lost eager
for life's love-fever
seeing this disaster
disaster after disaster
and in the heavens before
there looms more and more
I jotted down
a plan of action
plan of salvation
my hope, my calculation
Yet with all this
day after day
continues this way
a vessel that sinks
midst waves surrounding
the strong vessel grounding
With all this score
there be life's horizon
immortality suspended
and end be in store
How the contrast
with what went before
never calculated
what ill future years held in store
