Rule of the Ruler

I look at the letters and what do they say?
Why do my eyes flip them that way?
Numbers come to show me a song.
What they say as letter, is really all wrong.
~But what of the rule as taught by my school?
They beg to move to where they belong.
The rule of the Ruler has been for too long.
It's a day in the night of a Book that is new.
It's the flight of a dawn and a dawn that is due.
Too long has the rule of the Ruler, ruled you.
Then the numbers too arranged a strange way.
~Translate to more and show a new day.
It cant be denied what I see in my eyes,
even...
with the Ruler's rules applied.
The numbers have something to say.
They arrange to sing a new song.
It's in the Light,
that the letters write on.
