He walks the world slowly, but with resolve
speaking softly of the era he heralds to come
the one of the age marked by the stars above
as we move from one constellation to the next
in the shifting of the powers of the zodiacal signs.
He wanders the world with a Lion's Courage
trying to stand out in his own humble way
living boldly amid the downtrodden masses
he has been sent to point to the redemption
soon to come in the changing of the world.
Wearing the ragged clothes of the transients
he baptises with waters of knowlegde this time
eschewing the rivers now too polluted by sins
of greed, sloth and lust that he meanders through
to reach the light at the end of his own dark tunnel
With every penitent step he takes in his journey
those around him notice him but forget the words
he lays out for all to hear the warnings of woes coming
and strides amid the crime riddled streets fearless
knowing in the end, a few will hear his words at last
and follow in his humble ways to redeem their souls
before the Pale Rider comes to harvest the final lives
condemned by the Original Sin to die for sins of ancestors.
another from last year's collection, that seems better this time round...
