In my dream I walked the corridors

of God’s chambers, amidst the throng,

where peace reigned over all I explored.

No lies, nor subterfuge in this space.

No glory sought, no fear of votes.

No trammeled hopes. Only grace.

As I woke today I prayed

for leaders with enough courage

to enter the political fray

and accept the challenges

of the world we now face.

We once believed in Sun-Kings,

those who governed by Divine Right,

expected to do right, or at least try.

Our expectations were very high.

Those follies fell at Runnymede.

The Magna Carta decreed

leaders would now rule by right

of the people governed.

No divine right is embedded

in constitutions of free people.

The rights of the people are unfettered.

No sins were excused in those who led

in place of God, nor in place of the people.

The vestigial remnant of Sun-Kings lit

the rule of law to be followed by all.

Now leaders are expected to sin,

and focus on nothing but how to win

the next election.

How far we have fallen from the protection

of expectations for the common good

blessed from those reigning above us;

leaders of conscience who obeyed

an inner voice which spoke

of heaven on earth awoke.

Now I wake, and being woke

am told to be woke is no longer a treasure.

There are those who prefer we remain asleep

while they seek to rule, their power to keep.

There is no freedom for those who sleep,

caught in false dreams and nightmares deep.

Woke seeks not false perfection.

But, provides the best direction

to heaven’s peaceful corridors

and a way to traverse freedom’s door.

Woke is the only way

to start a new era, or a new day.
