Can you build the utopic dream?

Where there's no hate nor tragedy

How do you keep that world serene?

Where all are fulfilled in their needs

What is lost and what do you find

In the refraction of your mind

What's eternal, what is feeble?

Who decides what's good or evil?

From all the horrors life has wrought

The timeless questions all have sought

Does God still hear me in the night?

Are we alone? Why do we fight?

How did we rise before the fall?

What is the purpose of it all?

The foundation for it all within

To prepare you as the end begins

With nothing greater to bestow

This humble tome is all I know

All my truth and all I've seen
