World Battle Of Wits

As cartographer for strange world of myth,
the poet maps wild landscape of our dreams
based on memories of all our ancestors
programmed into how our brain operates
through actions they performed in face of death
to generate new life before they died.

As mechanic for engine of our souls,
the poet finetunes weird conceptual tropes
that program how our dream-brain operates
adjusting systems through ontology
our bodies use to function in routines
we employ to create life before death.

As dancer on the stage of global tales,
the poet inhales memories of the past
and exhales hopes for the future with faith
to leap across abyss of nothingness
when we attempt to overcome ourselves
and create new character we perform.

As insurance broker for our games of chance,
the poet sells illusions people wield
to shield their fragile spirits from despair
in brutal fight against tellers of truth
who dare expose hypocrisy of pride
that crumbles in relentless storm of change.

As bold unacknowledged legislator,
the poet glorifies the honest soul
who works to create rather than destroy
by depicting how they suppress false views
through logical analysis of cause
that computes effect of world social peace.

As mathematician of the psychic code,
the poet calculates firm formulas
assembling puzzles of surreal terrain
through undulating matrix of the mind
that forms foundation of our state contract
contrived by task orders of divine perception.

As jester in the academic court,
the poet mimics personalities
by wearing intricate mask of the I
to play comedy of success in love
or tragedy of failure in blind pride
that adjusts moral behavior of fools.

As spellcaster in world battle of wits,
the poet chants wyrd hexagraphic spells
projecting virtual model of the world
in vision of the way thoughts ought to be
that transform through alchemical virtue
how we perceive Ideas of the real world.
