This too shall pass
Even the earth itself
Will become once upon a time.
Before we tear this into pieces and trash
I hope you’ll been able to
deduce a life-long lesson?
This too shall pass according to the law of nature
Let it not leave a scar on you
That will fetch water from your face forever.
Before I end my sermon
I hope this has been able
To flog me and you to the marrow?
