Man of Earth,
An angel said,
With night-vision goggles
on,
What do you see
In the dark?
A man on a red horse
standing among trees,
Four horns chased nigh
by four craftsmen,
A man with a tape ready
to measure the world,
A filthy high priest cleaned
and clothed afresh,
A golden lamp stand
flanked by olive trees,
A giant flying paper scroll
consuming a thief's home,
A woman sitting in a basket
carried aloft by storks,
And four chariots flying
high
between bronze mountains.
All visions told,
Child of God,
An angel asked,
What do you know
In the light of day?
Only what I hear
God Say:
Return to Me
And to you
I will return.
And so from my evil,
I do heed,
I repent!
