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.
