A Dream Vision Poem by DM W

I travelled far and wide
Through many different times
I saw the bright Truth,
Behind the veil of Death's bride.
I saw wisdom devalued
And all knowledge destroyed.
I saw blank generations
Desperately clutching their toys.

I saw money rot
The souls of financiers
And presidents burn
With the fires of their vices.
I saw a mushroom cloud
Turn a city to ashes.
I saw Tsunamis, earthquakes
And stock market crashes.

I saw needle and vein
Engage in a kiss,
That would lead to ruin,
Not permanent bliss.

I travelled far and wide
Through Stations of the Cross.
I saw the power and glory of kings,
With the mark of Cain on their sins.
I saw the blood of Christ
On the frenzied prophets' skins.
I saw the cruel one sided show trials
And death row's ragged strangers crucified.

I saw soldiers display
Their precise killer's art.
I saw poets & artists
Weeping; torn between
The light & the dark.
I saw the holy Buddha
Meditate to end needless
Suffering & cruel fate.

I travelled far and wide
through the gates of Heaven & Hell
I endured the pain of loss
And enjoyed temporary thrills.
I glimpsed aspects of
The eternal design;
As they appeared in fragments,
On plagued, dead end streets at midnight.

I watched the human struggle,
Both demonic & sublime.
From Eden to Golgotha;
From Auschwitz through to Palestine.
I saw the face of fear
Escape into the void
I saw the face of love
Embrace the rose of union.

Yes I travelled through
Many different times:
In a dream vision
Far and wide.
