Dream Puzzle Of Truth

Dream Puzzle Of Truth

Since I assemble dream puzzle of truth 
from fractured memories of forgotten days 
that you discard on endless road of time, 
I feel no guilt when I sell them to you 
as holy book in church of solemn faith 
that guides as light you forgot you have. 

Expelled from valley of lush apple trees 
by gangs of thieves sent out by castle lords, 
we wander on the nowhere road of hope 
with no direction to survive and thrive, 
till I assemble dream puzzle of truth 
in goal that shines as city on the hill. 

Assembled in warm hall of glowing hearths, 
we feast on fruit from labor of our hands, 
while I sit on high judgment throne of faith 
to organize our homeless family 
in company of honest citizens 
based on our secret dream puzzle of truth. 

Turmoil of social change in seething crowds 
of hungry people clamoring at the gates 
sweeps us along vast tides of global growth 
that smashes ancient kingdoms into dust 
so we build new world order of respect 
from principles in dream puzzle of truth. 

Albert drives horse-drawn wagon into town 
where he sells bags of grain for silver coins, 
then buys new copper pan and rolls of cloth 
for Catherine to sew elegant gowns 
for their three daughters with long shining hair 
to attend balls in dream puzzle of truth. 

Raising sword toward gold clouds with lofty pride, 
Albert declares the Coming of the Lord, 
then leads brave cannoneers to fire lead balls 
that smash hard stone walls of cruel tyranny, 
then kneels before World King on jeweled throne 
whose face shimmers in dream puzzle of truth. 

Now he has come to see the Christian faith 
is political party that insists 
descendants of Jesus, God of the Sun, 
have divine right to rule nations of men, 
driven to conquer the world for their Christ 
whose ghost weaves their whole dream puzzle of truth. 

I disassemble dream puzzle of truth 
from basic principle on which it builds 
that states function on hierarchy of men 
controlling land where workers produce food 
and bodies of women that generate 
children lost in strange dream puzzle of truth.
