Our Global Zeitgeist

When I attempt to think outside the box,
which Pandora gave me for my birthday,
I find my soul transformed into the fox
leaping over rainbow of the dreamway,
so I refocus attention of my mind
on world of machines Barsanti designed.

I should not wish the world to match my will,
but wish the world to be the way it is,
declares Dorotheus on the dusty hill,
who writes in sand weird riddles of the quiz,
thus I attain calm peace with providence
to treat people with honest confidence.

Large furry possum waddles on the porch,
consuming insects from corpses of kings
who tried to kill the goddess with the torch,
then I weep when the bold Valkyrie sings
who bids farewell to Wotan with sad heart
as I mark Cave of the Ring on my chart.

Fierce wolf with eyes lit by the silver moon
runs by my side around the Caspian Sea
to mountain meadow where I sing sad tune
through forty thousand years of charity,
for I fix engines in fast cars of fate
that read bright satellites to navigate.

Because all signed roads lead the way to Rome,
where Chief Bridge-Builder in the Vatican
reads oracles from riddles in the tome
that Sibyl wrote with blood of Leviathan,
I map human history on spinning globe
which animates progress with the space probe.

Gathered in Temple of Saturn at dawn,
we celebrate foundation of great Rome
as grand republic in which any pawn
may attain freedom to build their own home,
so billions of people vote for the Pope
whose vision presents broadest social scope.

Translating scripture from weird secret code,
Dream Jester channels our global zeitgeist
for the generation lost on the road
who follows strange vision of Phoebus Christ
to visit every city in the world
in grand victory tour of the cosmic herald.

Though Midas still thinks he runs planet Earth,
he roams with Nebuchadnezzar and Lear
on storm-wracked heath of madness beyond worth
while clutching fake holy book with blind fear,
so Minerva bears Lamp of Liberty
to free Justice from chains of tyranny.
