Progress On Road Of Life

The jester who animates my stoic heart
urges me to progress on road of life
while I conserve my basic principles
that maintain integral spirit of faith
which guides my journey to the Promised Land
where I build Heaven from ruins of Hell.

Asserting liberal code of honesty
through my individual autonomy,
I choose to pursue personal interests
and account for the actions of my hands
within structured framework of liberty
so I do what I will, if I harm none.

With tolerance of human differences
expressed through diversity of lifestyles
I recognize importance for the truth
measured by varied perspectives of fact
to participate in my own governance
and promote social justice for everyone.

Though grand cathedral of catholic faith
has been shattered by industrial advance
based on piston engine technology
which channels strict electric energy
to power world food-production machine,
I trace architecture of founding concepts.

Foundation of western civilization,
composed from conceptual ideas of things,
was designed by Plato to explicate
how linguistic psychology defines
objects based on universal ideals
that persist in Heaven Realm of Ideas.

Things are formed from Idea of the Thing
through categories of special examples
so trees that exist in bounds of time and space
shape matter into pattern of its form,
constructed from atoms of pulsing light
that shimmer in vast matrix of our souls.

Though people blind with fear will congregate
into nationalist states of paranoid greed,
desire for freedom to pursue our dreams
defies aggressive grip of tyranny
when various people unite separate states
to design United Nations of Earth.

Instead of performing rites of state power
through grand ceremony of solemn acts,
I prance across landscape of Earth with joy,
and sing while strumming lyre of Mercury
as jester loyal only to myself,
choosing to create rather than destroy.

Orpheus teaches class in philosophy about ideas of Plato that describe linguistic psychology for how the brain designs a world view from human memory preserved in scriptures of stories about great people.
