Room Of Mirror Minds

Stuck hungry in the room of mirror minds
reflecting countless coils of consciousness,
I leap across abyss of faithlessness
to spiral psychic energy which binds
our lonely bodies in world family
to dwell in Heaven of our fantasy.

Blue ache of light on wall of timeless fate
enhances troubled notion we exchange
that we will find our beauty on the range
by offering our souls as social bait
for catching demon of the holy bridge
through revelation drawn from our brave pledge.

While mining parables from painful past
we express dissatisfaction in foul state
of this confusing hour of present hate
by seeking for the treasure that will last
with cautious hope for better times to come
where we play games that are not zero-sum.

Opening doors of the unspeakable,
we fight for revelation of the truth,
blessed by salvation through messiah sleuth
whose love emancipates the gullible,
restrained by limits of freedom we choose
to maintain balance through eccentric clues.

Through spells of language, our hearts dare to speak,
we create social order we desire
where everyone sings in one global choir,
expressing insight to evade the trick
when we are snared by the perceivable,
highlighted by the unbelievable.

Gathered in cities all across our land,
we march against cruel tyranny of kings
to replace handcuffs with dream-magic rings
where the free hold ripe apples in their hand
to taste extravagance through liberty
so labor lifts us out of poverty.

Escaping labyrinth of success through wealth,
I build stone cottage on steep river shore
preserving private love behind the door
that opens on bright water of soul health
which flows with casual arrogance of time
so I drink to sustain my paradigm.

I carry in my flesh old singing bones
which my ancestors mold from bitter faith
to help me thrive with heartbeat of the wraith
when I break free from alabaster stone,
but stand in ruins of America,
symbolized by ghost of the chimera.
