2006-02-21 - bewise beware
I remember you at the dawn of my existence
Long ago you learned the ways of power and persistence
You guarded secret knowledge for the gifted and elite
You travelled all the ancient paths that made your life complete
You simplified the rituals and updated the ways
the sages and the scribes harnessed fortune in those days
but in between the new world orders and the halls of knowledge
there was something growing in the ivy of your college
Leagues of Just Men plotted as the mystery entwined
in and out of tendrils on the walls of the world mind
and like the hybrids bearing fruit of mixture in their season
pawns like pollen were dispersed and wealth became the reason
Global domination at the hands of those who knew
the world ecology should be preserved unto the few
who had the evolutionary gifts to carry on
whilst poverty stricken earthlings ached and whimpered until gone
and "amiable dummies" by some wild card chance arose
the ones that your election would have certainly opposed
for they championed the causes of the downtrodden and poor
and after all that's not what the jungle law is for!
Read the message scribed in time in tables made of men
Scan the parallels between the crimes both now and then
Civil rights and slavery - time has made her mark
Lincoln in his bravery, Kennedy's torch in dark
You who measures profit centers to the ancient tune
Notice that the baying of the wolves can't change the moon
Seek the wisdom that defends the helpless and the lost
Bow your knees while there's still time before Messiah's cross.
