If Ages Are Long, Ages That Come Poem by Emmanuel George Cefai

If ages are long, ages that come
will come,
then
you will have in as proportion
direct
the ways and mode for your works
to be appreciated:
in the last after so many others
though not just
at last the Justice in the heavens
will
do what for centuries neglected was
and
fame will be yours and more by right
than as of humans who fast shot to fame
but ah!
the aches you will feel
and worse than that the loss of time
civilization will have made herself.
