Diogenes and Daggers

CuldeSac
Please spare me the sunlight:

For freedom set out from Rameses
To Sukkoth's sweet pools of Marah
The strand smiles in the Red Sea
Passing through the Desert of Sin
Landing in Dophkah down Alush
Writing tablets by the Mountain
The perfect law in the complete

For blind faith no man can keep
Things need to be acknowledged real
And so we have a blood sacrifice
Ending the deal offered by intelligence

Fighting in the struggle for power overwhelming
One might yet see beauty hidden behind the face
What is understood as the procession of events
Comes to pass only within the body of a presence
Pulled towards itself through the course of its bending
