And the Wages of Sin are Death
The memory of Eden fades farther away
As the earth spins on 'round the sun.
The world is wearing old and grows more tired each day
As men in their circles do run.
Each bright flower must fear and tremble at the tread
Of men's march in restless rage.
He burns the earth to gain wealth and his daily bread
As that first sin still claims its wage.
So... what do you think? All comments and criticism are welcome
All the best,
Sarah

No it needs to 'do' as part of the rythmnic structure.
I find the 3rd line a sylalble too long though (ish - depends on whether you think tired is one syllable or two)
