Piety

The clock out of the universe
Keeps me mediating
Like the ascending and descending of man
The agreed hour shall come
When the unvisitable moment is scheduled
And the frozen breath will be our victory.

As wavy as green plants
So do beings wagging and lagging
Unforgettable we must all know
From dust we arose to it we return
Power strivers are like hovers
Viciously we are grim reapers.

Questions
When the Psychopomps comes to accompany
what piety is ours?
Which kingdom is to embrace
When the deeds are dirty
Heaven or hell?
