If I truly had faith
as prophets of old
crying at the gates;
if I had davidian courage
to face self-confident men
who rule the world;
if I had solomic wisdom
to read the hearts of men
...and the love of Christ:
if I truly cared
as I say I do
I would meditate this sign;
ponder the fate
of a dying world--
would gather my spirit
and all its guides
to work the wonders of the light
in deep darkness.

Then
I would embark upon the final quest,
boldly seeking audience
with all the rulers
of all the kingdoms
and when received
(for they too wonder)
I would come before them
empty-handed
but unafraid
and seeing there
but utter confusion
the need of love and compassion
I would kneel and bow
in total humility
in complete truth
carefully expound
the planet's plight
into their ears--

from my open hands would flow
images of doom and hope
for their eyes to see:
as their senses opened to the truth
they would suddenly realize
all the right and all the wrong
of all the doings in the earth.

When finally
all was finished;
all was seen--
all was understood
as it really is
with no chance for
misunderstanding
the last
the most powerful
of all the rulers
thus enlightened
would rise
from
his golden and marbled
throne
signal haughtily to his guards
and point at me:

the dagger would penetrate
deep in the heart.

Thus would the final quest
be consummated
my body lying
at the foot of the last
throne of man

and I could then rest
in peace for eternity.

a very powerful and ‘important’ write!
[as is typical of this author]

“from my ... hands would flow
images of doom and hope...

as their senses opened to the truth
they would suddenly realize
all the right and all the wrong
of all the doings in the earth(!)”

would that it could so be!

sustained applause!!
