After recording the latest events 
that map the swirl of human interaction 
in long Chronicle of Spinning Earth, 
Ziphion drives home to the red-brick house 
where Nerthus cooks spaghetti and peach pie 
to eat and think about fall of the empire. 

If words illuminate shadow of light, 
transformed by process of time from desire, 
then I will activate sentence of faith 
through mental mechanism to deduce 
deeper essence that animates the world 
so I perceive visible force of life. 

Ziphion composes jurisprudent verse 
as lyric for chorus of history 
to clarify current state of affairs 
through voices of the living and the dead 
in citational chain of precedents 
to shape parameters for moral law. 

Declaring edict for moral behavior, 
Nerthus expresses in songs of the tribe 
collective memory of civilization 
that Ziphion etches in tablets of stone 
erected on walls in Temple of Truth 
as map that guides us on the righteous path. 

Through tales of failure and success men play, 
Nerthus bridges with masks of characters 
vast distance between reality and illusion 
to expose delusion of paradise 
we design to conjure our Future World 
where all are equal in one global law. 

Awake in forest of ancestral dream 
where my ancestors lived ten million years, 
I hear peals of thunder over dark hills, 
so I construct tower of honest law 
to observe and measure vast world of forms, 
then sing spells that explain what could be real. 

Words showcase promise of Heaven on Earth, 
so Ziphion cites scripture of long-dead gods 
to vouch for noble spirit of Blind Justice 
which summons divine mind from hearts of men 
who forge bonds of communal authorship 
when we reclaim freedom to live and build. 

Our words hold worldmaking force of respect, 
Ziphion declares on pyramid of power, 
so we build mental models of our world 
where every human lives equally free 
to swim in waters of the divine soul 
and lie side by side in graves of the past.
