The World Stands On a Pillar

The cardinal adorns itself in a long red feathery coat With an inconceivable hat protruding from its unpredictable head pointing steadfast in the hesitant atmosphere probing everyone far and near It stands speechless on a swinging branch cruising in the presumptuous tree Whose root has anchored deeply in the ground and its branches shooting all around It spreads its wings across the universe sharpening its boisterous beak and getting ready to preside over the matchless ceremony hoping to create harmony It whistles a familiar tune saying that everything will be over soon Its music symbolizes late Winter and its melodious voice mesmerized mother cardinal with an unforeseen Spring drama but she responds in a majestic voice from her invigorating chamber singing a euphonious melody and gazing at the pillar of hope Look into my eyes and tell me what you see Look into my heart and tell me what you hear Look into my soul and tell me what you feel The radiant sun is shining upon me and I can Feel the spirit of God all over me Legions of angels are protecting me But you have travel thousand of miles to destroy me You surround the altar in your illusive red garment feeding from the peoples throat But this is where it all began deep within the earth The pyramid, the hexagon and the pentagon If you keep digging you will excavate the timeless birth Samson was the strongest man on earth But even so he was deceived by the relentless Delilah who discovered the real source of his strength and power one hatchet one man erupt the pillar on which the world stands. And so the entire world crumbles in the palm of his worthless hand.
