Oppressive Moral Laws

Too bad for how the rolling stone decides
to save her blind mother from the cute wolf
as if her skull were watermelon soft,
honest enough to ask where God abides
down south on the sultry shore of the gulf
where curling souls of lonely people waft.

Despite how often cows fly to the moon
when people put their parents growing old
in nursing homes to hide sorrow of time,
the angry priest plays new heartbreaking tune
to woo the nun who wears bright mask of gold
while cleansing souls of murderers from grime.

Hand in hand Adam and Yangasha stroll
Garden of Peaches on lush Mount Penglai
past waterfall formed from tears of the dead,
then ask Yeomra, who rules in Diyu Cave,
why Lakshmi and Pluto, who fell in love,
are getting punished for selling young orphans.

Ardent attention to details of fate
proves Lucifer understands how effects
result as consequence of unseen cause
while he bikes parking lot to Church of Hate
where saints who attempt to hide their defects
adjudicate oppressive moral laws.

Trapped by delicate fabric of bird song,
Innocent Eve in gown of maple leaves
steals pears from trees in Garden of Despair,
but, as she gazes with awe far too long
at beauty of May when everyone grieves,
she decides it costs her too much to care.

This might just be the right time to require
dispassionate observer of the truth
to clean toxic waste land of arrogance,
though some just want to sing in the world choir
directed by the new messiah sleuth
without gaining power from innocence.

Almost qualified now to play the role
assigned to me by Fate to question why
brave heroes go where angels fear to tread,
I proudly surf huge political wave
to sermon where I am blessed by the dove
because approval activates endorphins.

I know the truth is buried here somewhere,
under the ground where the blue peafowl struts,
so when cosmic herald returns from Hell
and leads uprising to make justice fair,
we shall emerge from meditation huts
to fight for truth at ringing of the bell.

Orpheus digs all over the Garden of Eden to find the truth till his excavations turn it into the waste land.
