Back

to the beginning

Daniel known as Danny; electrician to building corporate twits.
Is told to cut safety margins. He feels an instinct to call it quits.
Begin - the gathering of the people, the tribal reformation.
The telepathic call, for the spiritual restoration:

Benjamin known as Bono, muscician of incomparable stance.
Medium for the gift of entertainment, he watches his people dance.
The tribal feel is in the eyes; the music; the attitude; the walk;
it's what he has to say to us - in the words they're given to talk:

Isiah known as advisor, to the governor of duplicity.
Takes a stand, covertly planned, offering new ingenuity.
Too, the words they don't say - the wisdom the leaders enact.
Putting aside the politics, for the tribes, an integrity pact:

King Arthur known as Artie, for his skill - a marketing Robin Hood.
He buys & sells known artefacts, the profits spent on food.
His mission, feeds the starving followers, he wields the magic sword,
'Donate, feed tribes poorer than yourself' - he leads a moral herd:

Jesus known as 'Joe Blow', seen on any path or, street.
The spirit, of the God in all of us, resurrected - a trinity complete.
Our instinct that recognises simple truth, not complicated utterings.
'I will com again, on a cloud' - spiritual, the second coming:

You & I, him & her, witnesses - each time we look at our reflection.
Acknowledging an invisible spirit, we give thanks to God, genuflection
I reach out & touch God - with true love & a soft emotion.
Husband, healer, tribal leader - all God - uniting us, in devotion.

The tribal kings, come down, thru the millennium of the ages.
Each one in turn heralding, new spiritual stages.
They gather together their people - who respect, admire & elect.
These subjects of a kingdom - unaware - they are a tribal sect.
