Symbols

 
 
I have often wondered
About the symbols man leave behind
Clues and secret treasures
 
With no one to decipher
 
What dreams and guesswork
They begin to inspire
Writers and dreamers are agog
 
Many turn to spin on blogs
 
Here is the Eye in the sky
Certainly I am reminded
Of Alan Parson's project
 
I hear you object
 
The  American dollar
Places this symbol into
Each and every American's hand
 
So that they can say 'I  can!'
 
And yes, this is the symbol
Of the American Seal
Novus Ordo Seclorum
 
A New Order of The Ages?

  1. Nicely put. The symbol is also at the heart of Freemasonry, by the way.

    1. I thought so too Anthony. But I could not recall where I saw that. And decided to keep it out of the poem.

  2. Well said. It makes me think that beliefs founded on "All we need is a dollar" are ones that, in the long run, are certain to founder.
