In the Dazed World

CELESTIAL CAPTAIN
They have asked for an explanation of “Dazed World.”

CELESTIAL GENERAL
Does it matter? They will surrender or perish.

CELESTIAL CAPTAIN
It will not hurt.

CELESTIAL GENERAL
True. Tell them this:
In the dazed world, they confuse good and evil.
Earth’s a maze, with wrong directions it’s filled,
So this human world can’t be blamed outright,
Where there is fog of course there is bad sight,
But in good and evil, they must believe,
And seek higher truth ‘til when the earth they leave.

Those drunk on science deny good and evil
And into poor young students minds they drill,
They become the blindest leading the blind,
But nothing beyond themselves will they find.
Those drunk on religion say they know good,
But they’re just social cliques and ethnic broods,
They define good and evil to their liking,
Betraying nobleness and plain clear thinking,
Good and evil can’t be dismissed or made up,
And thus all the earth grows dazed and corrupt,
They wear dark sunglasses to navigate
Through thick fog, inviting a tragic fate.

Who escapes good and evil’s reality?
No one. They bear down with finality
And they will trump anyone’s reality
With secular spirituality.

CELESTIAL CAPTAIN
Thank you General, I will take this message to the front lines right away. We will save as many as we can.

CELESTIAL GENERAL
I hope so Captain.
