This poem was started over a year ago, but I wasn't able to come up with the final stanza until tonight (I don't know why, but that's how it worked).
There once was a man who was made by the earth He gathered his gold and therein placed his worth He made bargains for love and rationed his life Fell in love with his job and fell out with his wife Yes, there once was a man...
Who made the heart a jail Who threw away the key Who slit the sacred veil Who then lost eternity
There once was a woman who was made by the world She floundered through life as Fate's waters swirled She asked for nothing and that's what she got Her heart had turned cold where once it burned hot Yes, there once was a woman...
Who made the heart a jail Who threw away the key Who slit the sacred veil Who then lost eternity
There once was child who was born to these two She brought them together and spread hope anew He took all his gold and he gave it away She found a direction and couldn't be swayed Yes, there once was a child...
Who paid for holy bail Who set the captives free Who found the sacred grail Who then saved eternity
