Forest Of Ancestral Dream

After recording the latest events
that map the swirl of human interaction
in long Chronicle of Spinning Earth,
Ziphion drives home to the red-brick house
where Nerthus cooks spaghetti and peach pie
to eat and think about fall of the empire.

If words illuminate shadow of light,
transformed by process of time from desire,
then I will activate sentence of faith
through mental mechanism to deduce
deeper essence that animates the world
so I perceive visible force of life.

Ziphion composes jurisprudent verse
as lyric for chorus of history
to clarify current state of affairs
through voices of the living and the dead
in citational chain of precedents
to shape parameters for moral law.

Declaring edict for moral behavior,
Nerthus expresses in songs of the tribe
collective memory of civilization
that Ziphion etches in tablets of stone
erected on walls in Temple of Truth
as map that guides us on the righteous path.

Through tales of failure and success men play,
Nerthus bridges with masks of characters
vast distance between reality and illusion
to expose delusion of paradise
we design to conjure our Future World
where all are equal in one global law.

Awake in forest of ancestral dream
where my ancestors lived ten million years,
I hear peals of thunder over dark hills,
so I construct tower of honest law
to observe and measure vast world of forms,
then sing spells that explain what could be real.

Words showcase promise of Heaven on Earth,
so Ziphion cites scripture of long-dead gods
to vouch for noble spirit of Blind Justice
which summons divine mind from hearts of men
who forge bonds of communal authorship
when we reclaim freedom to live and build.

Our words hold worldmaking force of respect,
Ziphion declares on pyramid of power,
so we build mental models of our world
where every human lives equally free
to swim in waters of the divine soul
and lie side by side in graves of the past.
