I saw beyond forgotten fields
the heraldry of those unheralded
unyielding
who fought not for mere kingdoms
not even for justice
who fought for the living soul.
now has its nomenclature faded
and what king is there to proclaim:
all your languages are dead
absent the one word hallowed.
Soul. my soul most singular.
what in us would always live
and would be free in
each of us, unique and born
of Very Light
in most need of defense.
flags fly high
and trumpets blare
for so much less
and we are unaware
the cheapened causes we esposue
are mere distractions.
and lack our inner vision
new manacled now
by the eollective dreams
that is to say: the ultimate lie
quenching the you or I
and forging the State or Global identity,
the racial sing song.
ah, they have cancelled all your dreams
in the name of the One welded and faceless crew
droning on, drowning in slogans
so that you are even incapable of lamenting
your own misery. tallying your losses.
what have we lost, not we, but you?
God asks and asks at your individual door obscured
what will leave your children too
the sense of a conscience nobly endowed
unquely true irreplaceable you and you
you who fight for the so called quality of life
of your children...
Heaven's armies stand aside and weep
because because You are asleep
lost, without even the will to know
to seek my God to seek
the highest cause you are summoned to:
your own soul
to keep.
