Summary: For my friend Fearless...........a beginning




Great blasphemy of blasphemy
When Gabriel spoke in a dream to me
He came with the sword of the one true God
and was lit by a crescent moon.

And he danced with the gods who were one true God
and each was a face of a dazzling stone
a gem God cut to appear to man
As a host while he reigned alone,

Then the angel showed me a broken land
Where the sons of God ripped his world apart
Where his flesh was torn and his blood burst free
and escaped from the ruptured heart.

Ten thousand columns moved as one
With a new born's map they divided man
uprooted homes and dispersed all hope
With the trek and the caravan.

And I heard the screams from the blood soaked train
And watched the child in the cleansing fire
And I tasted smoke from the acrid flames
of a nation's funeral pyre.
