Philosophical

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
