Neigh's His Time

NEIGH'S HIS TIME

Ten is a good number

Seven is good too, a number

Two are God's numbers too

Seventy seven times seven

Sabbath is week's seven

Lord's appointed time for six in number

Two thousand and twelve

June ten of millennium’s twelfth

The roar of a revving engine on standby

Six patriots get on board to travel by

A mission under-way for six in number

Lord's appointed mission for the number

The magnificent navigator navigates

Overhead thickets in cloud's thickness

Amid chats and laughter of patrons

Patrons of internal security and patrols

Cometh the unforeseen sour hour

Lord's appointed hour for six in number

Silence creeps in suddenly

The engine of the beast slumbers

Amidst cries of panic the beast hovers

Awed subjects stare devastatingly,

A thunderous tumble into the forest lumber

Lord's appointed time for six in number

Cloud of grief engulfs and mood sombre'

The country bleeds and mourns

Families rue while pain scours

Heroes, heroine, patriots, fallen are curtains

Flags fly half mast o’er honours

Cometh was Lord's appointed adjourns

Aye thee that hath departed

Thou shall forever be imparted

E’er thy Lord we put forth

Minister, Assistant minister and fourth

Them their souls preserve eternally

Neigh cometh thy appointed mortality.
