IRON AGE

Phoenix rises
Cobbled together
By a compendium of pyrites

Forged to link all destinies
Shaped to gird our worlds
And outreach Babylonia

Igneous intrusion
Metamorphic rock
Freed from your sedimentary bed

White heat in the crucible
Running now
Red ingots of desire
Ladled to all requirements

Manacled by steel
This shining age
Rusts towards a new millennium
