Alive is afoot.....

Magic never died.
6
God never sickened;
7
many poor men lied
8
many sick men lied
9
Magic never weakened
10
Magic never hid
11
Magic always ruled
12
God is afoot
13
God never died.
14
God was ruler
15
though his funeral lengthened
16
Though his mourners thickened
17
Magic never fled
18
Though his shrouds were hoisted
19
the naked God did live
20
Though his words were twisted
21
the naked Magic thrived
22
Though his death was published
23
round and round the world
24
the heart did not believe
25
Many hurt men wondered
26
many struck men bled
27
Magic never faltered
28
Magic always led.
29
Many stones were rolled
30
but God would not lie down
31
Many wild men lied
32
many fat men listened
33
Though they offered stones
34
Magic still was fed
35
Though they locked their coffers
36
God was always served.
37
Magic is afoot. God rules.
38
Alive is afoot. Alive is in command.
39
Many weak men hungered
40
Many strong men thrived
41
Though they boasted solitude
42
God was at their side
43
Nor the dreamer in his cell
44
nor the captain on the hill
45
Magic is alive
46
Though his death was pardoned
47
round and round the world
48
the heart did not believe.
49
Though laws were carved in marble
50
they could not shelter men
51
Though altars built in parliaments
52
they could not order men
53
Police arrested Magic
54
and Magic went with them,
55
for Magic loves the hungry.
56
But Magic would not tarry
57
it moves from arm to arm
58
it would not stay with them
59
Magic is afoot
60
it cannot come to harm
61
it rests in an empty palm
62
it spawns in an empty mind
63
but Magic is no instrument
64
Magic is the end.
65
Many men drove Magic
66
but Magic stayed behind
67
Many strong men lied
68
they only passed through Magic
69
and out the other side
70
Many weak men lied
71
they came to God in secret
72
and though they left him nourished
73
they would not say who healed
74
Though mountains danced before them
75
they said that God was dead
76
Though his shrouds were hoisted
77
the naked God did live
78
This I mean to whisper to my mind
79
This I mean to laugh with in my mind
80
This I mean my mind to serve 'til
81
service is but Magic
82
moving through the world
83
and mind itself is Magic
84
coursing through the flesh
85
and flesh itself is Magic
86
dancing on a clock
87
and time itself the magic length of God.
