ASH DAWN

While driven carriage suns slowly down their fiery drink
Returning to a solar-lunar cross the skies night race
Sand timing from 10 centuries took place in just a blink
Another world is seething with tenders in its place

Their white bread still traditional looks south toward Hawkers Point
Their home address the land they found beneath 3 jagged rocks
Near the Regent’s reign of narrative needed to anoint
The strip-mined avocation that was never Antioch’s

Earned Cadillac’s and heart attacks across the West Atlantic
Bloom thorny garden flowers of pejorative old time swagger
Harvard Princeton Yale and Army sweat to be pedantic
And never see the last device their next to final stagger

External and extinct inflamed with tested trimming
The population voted twice declaring the adored
Ignoring all overlooked antagonism brimming
10 centuries of screaming proof who might be truly Lord
