2012
Long count calendar, Mayan wrote;
Nine hells of fifty-two years;
Counter reset, beginning anew.
Transition from fourth world to fifth;
Five millennia in waiting;
Philosophy reborn.
Lord Krishna speaks in lunar cycles;
Hindu worlds yet unborn;
A golden foetus dreams;
Five millennia in gestation.
Malachy, a monk Irish born;
A saint made in Clement times.
One hundred and eleven popes named:
The labour of the sun wrapped in gold;
A life eclipsed in birth and death;
The second becomes third from last.
The glory of the olives reigns today;
German birth in controversy,
Benediction from the church assures rule;
Sixteen is second.
The seven hilled city is to be destroyed;
The Roman-born will witness.
The rock shall say amen;
The first shall be the last.
