Celestial Loan Of Light

Though cars cannot remember where I drive
within conceptual purview of my brain,
I strive to transcend limits of my soul
so I may gain salvation when I pay
high interest on celestial loan of light
that fuels my journey to the Promised Land.

I weave extensive thread of my brain-soul
through door of every building in the world
I enter on my journey through its maze
that weaves immortal spirit of my name
in shimmering fabric of our matrix mind
till my face glows on tapestry of time.

When I discover timeless Tree of Truth
blooming with apples by the River Styx,
I carve face of my whole ancestral soul,
then wear its features as mask of my brain
so strangers know who I pretend to play
in social drama of this global age.

Yet I keep disappearing through each door
where I float lost on angel wings of faith
because no one remembers who I am
as humble offspring of the cosmic wraith,
trapped in ever-twisting maze of my pride
till I fall off the cliff into the sea.

While drowning in deep sea of memories,
I manifest metal shell of my car
so I can journey forth through inner space
till I arrive on the lush new-world shore
where I forge keys from energy of hope
to build new state from ruins of the old.

Erecting system that favors my power
in long fiscal game of capture the flag,
I blaze legal roads of psychic control
to channel traffic of creative force
composing corporate structures of my brain
which preserves lustful passion of my heart.

Homeless and hungry at the pearly gates,
after losing in the stock market crash,
I play guitar and sing ache of the heart
on stage where no one pays me any mind
till my soul dissipates into car exhaust
when my voice vibrates on the radio.

Once I pay back celestial loan of light,
issued by World Jupiterian Bank,
I perform role of Lucifer the Wise
in political play for social power
which is always won by girl in the tower
who rewards me well for my sacrifice.
