Memories Preserved In Code

Memories Preserved In Code

Stories are our memories preserved in code
about human adventure on the road,
describing how we explore the weird Earth
on our quest for the secret of rebirth.

We watch the man glowing with soul of light
reach for the stars in supernatural flight,
and record how he falls from tragic flaw,
destroyed by his pride in breaking the law.

The moment he meets the girl with joyful heart
is the hour his rise to power falls apart,
for he gives her everything she could want
except for love, true wealth he cannot flaunt.

He starts out fighting for the common man,
preaching for rights against the wealthy clan,
but loses his way in labyrinth of greed
in search for true love all aching hearts need.

We go about our lives still asking why
he soars blazing so bright across the sky
so for one hour we see stark truth of things
how haughty mortals fall from broken wings.

The most precious treasure is not great fame
but tale of our deeds following our name,
for if we are honest we will swerve clear
to change direction of our life career.

Some lives can be summarized with one word,
the key that solves the puzzle in the sherd
which falls from fragile mirror of the soul
reflecting strange mask of the tragic role.

Each person plays their part in game of life,
searching for sweet food through aggressive strife
till we fall dead nowhere on signless road
when all our memories are preserved in code.
