Propaganda Of Moral Truth
Propaganda Of Moral Truth

Still living in the trashcan of my heart
blind demon of despair on angel wings
rattles cage of sorrow with mocking laugh
that shakes world temple of ecstatic ghosts
which proves we are but candles in the wind
blown by ethereal breath of mindless stars.
Since every moment of our hope-fraught lives
is terrible crisis we must endure,
we paint our agony with dragon blood
on giant canvases of worthless art
within framework of theory we contrive
free from propaganda of moral truth.
Therefore the genius wizard of the hour,
who codes artificial intelligence,
wears faceless paper bag over his head
to demonstrate metaphor of the self
that we invent persona we perform
based on Oscar the Grouch in his trashcan.
Emerging from the barrel of his faith
with scroll of arcane prophecy in hand,
Diogenes lifts lamp of liberty
and walks through marketplace of global wealth
while he declares with fake voice of concern
that he is looking for one honest man.
Restamping coins with face of Mercury
to satirize social conventions of wealth,
Diogenes defies the mortal tyrant
who crowns himself incarnation of Zeus
who sends assassins with greed-polished swords
so he flees to hide in Corycian Cave.
Hanging out in jeweled cave of blind ghosts,
Diogenes strums lyre of Mercury
for Parnassus, Delphus, and Lycorus
who cheer as he fights shadow of Delphyne
that shimmers on wall of the inner mind
when he decides to live free from desire.
Inspired by flight of ravens in oak trees,
Zeus hires Typhon to write computer code
that sparks artificial intelligence
to generate epic poems of great heroes
who defeat monsters of the human heart
which maintains United Nations of Earth.
After working all day designing maps,
Phoebus takes Corycia to posh cafe
where, after fine dinner of steak and wine,
he asks her to marry him with gold ring,
so she cries with joy and they kiss with love
while bombs destroy safe homes in distant lands.
