Figures Of False Truth

Dire signs that adumbrate social collapse
blind hearts of men with ciphers of star code
which isolate bodies of frantic hope
from our incognizant roses of wrath,
so brave men pose as figures of false truth
who wander stranded on the psychic moon.

Intelligent inscriptions in dead books
reveal bland prophecies of humble deeds
performed by heroes with arrogant seeds
designed to charge engines of farming trucks
despite the broken light of autumn nights
that scrambles riddles of national fates.

If I imagine strangers on the street
while pondering alone in doorless house,
weird truth beats crow wings that excites the clown
who conjures demons from the wood prayer bead
which steals courtesy from soft hands of trees
since world economy is based on bees.

Savage powers at parties of the rich
reclaim social machine of money games
contrived by mad god of the River Thames
who spends all day painting his picket fence
to prove the universe of measured time
derives from laughter of the selfless mime.

White moon that gleams old words on river shore
explains that every star I see in gloom,
which scribes sacred maps on walls of my room,
burned out long before my spirit was born,
so when she rings the doorbell of my heart
I buy one pear from her rickety cart.

Unnoticed references that age each hour
appear from swirling sea of honesty
as brave leviathan with crystal key
which opens huge door of my mental tower
with unexpected passion that love feigns
to order waves of thoughts in tangled lines.

Since Death teaches me art of minstrelsy,
I sing conceptual hymns of wounded souls
who writhe as serpents in innocent wells,
therefore men must learn art of chivalry
from gallant Cave Bear, tamed by Socrates,
so they can rule their empire colonies.

Folk music from the vinyl record chinks
with earnest passion of the suffering man
about how life flows swift as hour-glass sand
in vain attempt to counter social jinx
cast with mute fear by figures of false truth
who seek divine answers in mundane math.
