FABLE

                                    A deadly error once took place

                                    long ago, when from yearnings

                                    to witness the Power within,

                                    we dreamt for ourselves an exterior diety

                                                premature in boundlessness

                                                            and impossible in scope

                                                                             *

                                    But we could not live with this god's expectations

                                    and we could not reclaim what we'd given away

                                    So in shame, we surrendered our own sacred fortune,

                                                thus divining the undoing

                                                            of both believers and Believed

                                                                             *

                                    And now,

                                    somewhere off in a man-made paradise,

                                    not really knowing, but vaguely disturbed,

                                    an ill-fated Lord-on-High regrets

                                                and frets He made the same mistake

                                                            the day He formed the human world

                                                                        from a dream He thought He had of Himself
