Demented Intent

From a front roe seat, there was not the least of an eye strain                                                                                   In a familiar place, I observed what appeared to be bullet trains

In plain view, seated in a church pew among the wise and the few                                                                     They were racing through and around what "once upon a time"

throughout the land were "Holy places and sanctuaries most divine"                                                                 Their headlights were bright but also both deceptive and delusional

Their railways were dark, and only the "elect" could clearly see                                                                              and detect the reality of an orchestrated and demented intent

Only the elect was able to discern the subtle "bate and switch"                                                                              The trains were controlled and masterminded by forces unseen                                                                         

The forces ascended, descended, and flowed through atmospheric                                                                     highways of destruction.  But across the scene I saw a Holy man,                                                                               

not a force, but a Loving Master of men and minds                                                                                                                   He once healed a crippled man sitting helpless at a pool

He also walked on water, but I presently saw Him walking                                                                                                on clouds and descending to implement His kingdom rule.
