I had visions of Bethlehem
I had visions of Dayton, Ohio
I had visions of a Eucharist
Composed of milk and Honey Nut Cheerios
I had visions of Christ the King
I had visions of Homer the Simpson
I had visions of a drunken fool
Who pierced my heart and bypassed my reason
I had visions of a love more real than I ever imagined possible
It was true love and it was broken
But brokenness was acceptable to me
ย
I had visions of America
I had visions of the Soviet Union
I had visions of a consciousness
Which poured senseless blood into a holy communion
I had visions of a civil war
I had visions of unholy alliances
I had visions of a fertile soil
Where the crimes of man bloomed into silence
I had visions of a love more real than I ever imagined possible
It was true love and it was broken
But brokenness was acceptable to me
ย
I had visions of Mother Earth
I had visions of Father Culture
I had visions of their sacrifice
A boy was lifted up then devoured by vultures!
I had visions of you, my love
I had visions of wounds that were mending
I had visions of a soul reborn
and the digital-ized Apocalypse ending
I had visions of a love more real than I ever imagined possible
It was true love and it was broken
But brokenness was acceptable to me
