Hymn Of Bitter Faith

Weird beauty of this bright atomic world,
that spins on undulating waves of hope
two hundred fifty million years of change
one time around our flashing galaxy,
inspires me to sing hymn of bitter faith
when I wake Spirit of Love in my heart.

As temporary node of pulsing genes,
awake in complex brain of memories
that my ancestors program through each life
as we evolve from fish to singing god,
I compose verse for hymn of bitter faith
that guides me with Lamp of Diogenes.

Plato defines eternal forms of things
as changeless patterns in Realm of Ideas,
defined by Origen and Augustine
as Heaven where Craftsman God creates things,
which I explain in hymn of bitter faith
as linguistic psychology of our brains.

Material objects that exist in form,
bound by formal limits of time and space,
stand out as temporary nodes of thought
that we express in language of our minds,
deconstructed by hymn of bitter faith
that Esdras Liberianus sings in Rome.

When Satan reigns as Emperor of Earth,
oppressing common folk with tyranny,
Spirit of Good Leader, who loves the People,
incarnates as Jesus, anointed as Christus,
to fight with truth through hymn of bitter faith,
whose sons reign as kings for two thousand years.

Though Jesus is dead, crumbled into dust,
courageous Spirit of Christ, the Honest Leader,
incarnates in descendants of his blood
to reign as popes and kings in Gothinia,
as chronicled in hymn of bitter faith,
with mission to conquer the entire world.

Uniting in one nation under Godin
Zarathia, Gothinia, and Russia,
I reign as Emperor of Anglonesia
with Goddess of Liberty as my guide,
through principle in hymn of bitter faith
that humans live as they will, if they harm none.

Now that my revels on stage of whole Earth
end with United Nations growing strong,
I remove mask of Jesus Jupiter
to melt in baseless fabric of my vision
from timeless dream in hymn of bitter faith,
then round my little life with peaceful sleep.
