I know the fate of the world <br />I know the dreams of the oppressed <br />I know the cures reveal new maladies <br />I know futility <br /> <br />In the revelry, we hoist ourselves as God <br />Manifesting His hand in healing- <br />Moving mountains- <br />Those flags on lunar plains <br /> <br />Coalesced from dreams <br />Inspiration takes root <br />It is our means of expression <br />Defining <br /> <br />I know the fate of the world <br />Because I believe in last chapters <br />Because I’ve seen it in your blue eyes <br />Crying <br /> <br />My Father, what has downward passed? <br />When the trees blossom <br />In graveyards of heroes <br />And the cannons stand cocked <br /> <br />I know. <br />I know. <br />The conductor raises his wand <br />Over the crosses of Arlington – <br />Animate me as they sleep <br />Beneath a summer storm<br /><br />Kelly Vinal<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/conductor-of-heroes/
