Eternal Resolution

ETERNAL RESOLUTION

  Now this book I received from the Master

    When I arrived, they said His Son should help me read

Just to gain the needed acumen

To hell with Him! I know better

Upside down, on the book, with my wisdom I feed

 So His will strongly I must stern

I will adulterate His book forever

Though they said He lost His only son to sow its seed

But nothing from this I can learn

To mock His glorious pain my choice rather

To scoff the eternal existence my discovery and witty deed

But they said His love, for me, will still yearn

So He shouted my beloved pilgrim! Come nearer!

The teachings of my son are eternal! To Him you must heed

Now I know foolish is my book and my pen

two cities

            Remember time is running faster

        But my arms are still open, just a little longer

            The earlier you subdue, the better

 Look! The clock is ticking faster and faster and faster!

            And you are drawing nearer and nearer

            To the boat on that River

            Between you and the Cities afar.

     So my weeping grew stronger,

     Within my new melted heart,

            I turned around and start o’er

    The world and I now apart.
