The 3 Tenses

Venus, whore goddess, always alluring,
Charade flawless, treacherous demuring,
And so it has always been;
The fall of goodness her smile insuring.

Midas, man turned to ass, ever unful,
To stomach no metal is ever useful,
So, it would presently seem;
The recovery of man is doubtful.

Silver saplings, golden trees beyond Seas,
Mountains white, valleys green, under lush leaves,
Such is the land of my dreams;
Eventually the Sun will send me to Sea.
