Ignore Another Genocide

Dire consequence of eating apple pie
eludes my sense of star-eyed fantasy
despite electric warning of the clown
who cracks jokes on the television screen
to wake us from despair in sea of lies
so we ignore another genocide.

Contaminated karma we exclude
from international court of despair
condemns the charismatic criminal
who struts on bloody stage of history
to proclaim second coming of the sword
so we ignore another genocide.

Face of the angel for heavenly peace
gleams in the swirling ocean waves of fate
when we assemble in cathedral air
to lament how game of life is not fair
to tender-hearted honesty of faith
so we ignore another genocide.

Trapped in the endless wheel of soul rebirth
by mindless energy of urgent hope
designed by atomic passion of Earth,
we party in the summer yard of fame
to celebrate success of market gains
so we ignore another genocide.

While running frantically from gang of thieves,
who want to sell her body to the king,
young mother on the misty moors of fear
drops her baby on the rock of salvation
and she weeps from shock in gold cage of wealth
so we ignore another genocide.

Balanced on the narrow ridge of respect
for social conventions of wealth from power,
the grinning jester mocks the haughty king,
then soars on broken wings of Icarus
to drop atomic bomb on Hall of Mirrors
so we ignore another genocide.

Escaping crowded maze of Babylon
to build new justice state in Avalon,
we sail across the sea of persecution
to wander lost beyond the Promised Land
till we hide from Death in lush Oregon
so we ignore another genocide.

Amazed at beauty of conceptual art
composed of color smeared on skulls of gods,
I write names of the dead on marble walls
inside Global Bank of Financial Desire
then dance with Miss America all night
so we ignore another genocide.

Orpheus documents twenty genocides happening all over the Earth as tyrants with gangs of oligarchs fight to control the financial fantasy of truth.
