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.
