Burning Wheels Turning (2023)

There was turning and yearning\ntransition to crime\nAnd slaughter and dancing\nand cheating in rhyme.\nIn the lanes there were standing\nA few of the Blessed\nAnd the flames in their right hands\nShone bright through the mess.\nAnd their message was strong\nAs their teaching was love\nBut the mass did them wrong\nAnd they mockers the dove.\nAnd wisdom was misting in white and soft\nblue…\nSee burning wheels burning and he’ll burn\nin you, too.\nAnd the ages werepassing\nThen Mars took the rule\nPouring gem rains of ruby\nAs a war bait for fools.\nAnd gazing in concern\nAt the fight on these planes\nOther planets came closer\nto take over the reins.\nDeluge was their weapon —\nSkies drowned in the sand —\nChanging land into water\nAnd water to land.\nAnd wisdom was smiling in white and soft\nblue…\nSee fiery wheels turning and He’ll burn in\nyou, too.\nAnd a crowd of crusaders\nOutliving the night\nStared shocked at the silence\nOf the white blinding light!\nAnd the bloodstained remains\nOf the great anti-christ\nWere shattered by archangels —\nthose whom he despised.\nAnd dissolved was his spirit\nSoaked up by the Sun\nAnd a new age was dawning\nThus all had begun…\nAnd wisdom, was smiling eternal soft blue…\nSec fiery wheels turning and He’ll burn in\nyou, too.
