This slim book of lies speaks
volumes to those with ears
to hear or eyes to read
Hear me speak with your mind
as I transmit the word
spoken and heard by God
If I invoke the Lord
or use His name in vain
I have eaten the scroll
Sacred as the Spirit
in offering to lift
the wretched from despair
Swimming in their own filth
this ball of confusion
the surface and the depth
Leaps out of perception
from interpretation
misguided in beliefs
Intentions and values
ignorance of the law
common sense and truth
Misguided in reason
purpose integrity
as if flawed in design
Beaten down by the Lord
His love with riding crop
with wooden spoon with fists
Obviously to ride
His servant like a mule
into Jerusalem
Old as the Testament
itself since time began
I wander the whole world
Killing time as I search
heaven and earth for God
the One for whom I serve
Objective beyond dreams
of deserted landscapes
where I expect to find
Finitude the absence
of eternal domains
where I wander a fool
Limited in context
and perspective to see
the rise and fall of tides
Indeed other prophets
speak of Apocalypse
of final destruction
Empires rise with the tides
and crumble into dust
humanity appears
Seeming to disappear
just like the dinosaurs
mankind comes to an end
