Vital Force Of Manitou

Since the situation has become dire,
where puzzling fragments of our shared world view
crumble into riddles of arcane code
scrambled by artificial intelligence,
Orpheus walks into the wilderness
to hide nuclear missiles from mad King Midas.

Eager to rejoin the heavenly choir
that performs for Ishtar in Katmandu,
I travel back east on ancestral road
to map their long journey with diligence
that leads to misty vales of Inverness
where Thoth writes spells with feather of the ibis.

Three angels with vast wings of holy fire,
propelled by vital force of Manitou,
preach salvation of hypnotic God Toad
whose song reveals cosmic indifference,
so we all cross Bridge of Forgetfulness
constructed by clever daughter of Phoebus.

Reborn in cavern of hermetic lyre,
which David made from the flexible yew,
I chant epic tales in Saturnian mode
depicting deeds ruled by world conference
to measure moral scale of worthiness
contrived from fairy tales by the blind abbess.

Mother of Gods stands in the open door
to watch airplanes glide in the silver sky
which augurs progress of terrestrial fate
derived from various tropes of surreal dreams
portending fractured signs of happiness
which prop facade of our imperial nation.

Every Sabbath when I drive to the store
to purchase ingredients for apple pie,
I ponder strength of our socialist state
designed to function based on special teams
who allocate rewards through wealthiness
that positions each person in their station.

Weaving computer from globe iron core
which links all our brains in one divine eye,
God teaches angels how to astrogate
by surfing galactic waves of star beams
through soul-game of transdimensional chess,
then joins Death on Caribbean vacation.

Determined to excel my psychic score
by working for Jesus as secret spy,
I convince every king to abdicate
through noble key of political schemes
which only innocent princess can bless
when Orpheus guides us all to salvation.

Orpheus restores institutional authority of the United Nations of Zarathia with help from Phoebus to support eternal reign of Goddess Ishtar.
