Mythic God Of Fate

If I could time-travel to meet with God
before He creates everything I dream,
I would lounge and play lyre of Mercury
in lush apple groves of Elysium
instead of asking why things are messed up,
then resume work mapping world history.

Somewhere out on endless prairie of wind
someone is walking on the signless road
without clear purpose to build paradise
where only horses find water to drink
while I watch history repeat itself
when rich men cause empires to fall from greed.

After corrupt institutions collapse
and scatter refugees across the land,
messiah sleuth will rise from mud of fear
with glorious vision of our brave new world
that shines as lamp in hand of Liberty
as guide that leads us to the Promised Land.

For now he slouches in roadside cafe,
eating scrambled eggs, hashbrowns, sausages,
and toast with strawberry jam that tastes sweet
as breeze which blows along the seaside cliff
where his great-grandmother in long white dress
plucks strawberries from hope-entangled vines.

Each year that relentless changes of time
adjust perceptions of social events,
we find that deeds aggressive thieves perform
divide world view that everybody shares
in starkly opposing visions of truth
that sparks civil conflict between their gods.

Each group designs their own concept of God
as stereotype that presents ideal leader
who, they believe, will best manage our state,
fierce nationalist warrior with strict rules
versus compassionate globalist doctor
who nurtures our individual skills.

Who will you vote for, everyone cries out
as mortal men with complex characters
campaign to reign as mythic God of Fate
who designs programs of legal providence
to best employ each person skilled with hope,
so we all choose between Jesus and Satan.

Wise Architect of our utopian state
as Heaven on Earth we want to create
will soon possess mind of some mortal soul
whose vision they express in honest words
inspires our hearts with love to join our hands
and support United Nations of Earth.

Orpheus campaigns to reign as Secretary General of the United Nations so he can adjudicate universal laws of liberty and justice for all that constrains aggressive nationalist impulses of arrogant tyrants.
