Michael and the sinless Sons of Spirit,
defend the gates of heaven from assault by Adam's brood,
who think that entrance can be gained
for those whose hearts and minds are stained
by simply gaining or by feigning a repentant attitude.
 
As spawned in illigitimate beginnings,
the offspring of this mortal man exist but in a dream.
The dream appears as life to them, —
the Devil's little stratagem —
to camouflage the fact that things are never what they seem.
 
When Adam dreamed this dream of separation
from God, his dream assumed a space and time reality.
He dreamed himself a bogus past,
imagined him a future vast,
and destined the eternal NOW to triviality.
 
So now we seek our origins in history,
forgetting that beginning means an ending must ensue.
We study Genesis to find
if we began as mud or mind,
but stories there do not concur describing our debut.

The first account maintains that we're an image —
the spiritual likeness of an omnipresent God.
His gift, dominion over all,
with no propensity to fall,
and nothing to suggest we were created from the sod.

However, there's another story also,
taking place as mists arise and fog enshrouds the earth.
Another man from dust is formed.
As breath from out his nostrils warmed
the air of Eden, there a "living soul" conceived its birth.

This Adam man is not the perfect likeness
of Spirit, but the serpent's bid to make a separate mind.
To introduce its ego man,
while undermining Spirit's plan
by fabricating dreams that feature counterfeit mankind.
 
These so-called men would storm the gates of heaven —
would overthrow the Sons of God who guard its entrance well.
But heaven is beyond their reach, 
beyond the daydreams that they preach,
pretending they were once the perfect Sons of God who fell.
 
The truth is man has never been a mortal.
For Spirit's perfect likeness cannot occupy a form.
The mortals that we've seemed to be 
will disappear in that degree
to which the Holy Spirit works in thought complete reform.
