Analysis of 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)
