Contrived By Fortune

If leaves cover my invisible grave
with brutal silence that erases love,
silver chickadees will break free from ice
till arrogant ghosts call for global truce,
yet children no longer play hide and seek
in secret tree forts fathers never make.

Electric ruler measures silent flow
between emotionless masks people wear
because devils teach angels how to fly,
anticipating success of world war
started by the traitor and the mind thief
to tax any person who tries to laugh.

Since no one can find my grave anymore
I will be happy to steal their new car
so I can journey to the Promised Land
with Stone of Sisyphus as contract bond
designed to smash gold idol with clay feet
while Minerva plays the cracked crystal flute.

If you dig deep enough in tangled code,
that programs how you see the changing world,
you might perceive idea for each form
that composes state of the perfect farm
based on stewardship over cows and wheat
designed well by the social architect.

Each special person ever born on Earth
by random chance of fate from humble mirth
embodies features through genetic test
arranged to maximize productive quest
contrived by fortune to generate life
long enough to breed till undone by strife.

Nearly successful at building from scratch
global religion of conceptual faith,
I race to Heaven with enjambing clutch
accelerating engine through the wraith
to trash security programs of wealth
for the poor to thrive based on clever stealth.

War twists hearts of men into mindless wolves
who cause more problems than charity solves
with spiteful nonchalance of hungry hope
because I still wear my Superman cape
while bearing Flag of Liberty to fight
fascists who think they can rule us with fright.

We hide our memories in poetry books
that no one ever reads but hotel cooks
who aspire to heal the soul with good food
which depends on divine robotic mood
exuded by the crownless jester king
who jokes to kill us if we fail to sing.

Orpheus codifies theology of his global religion of conceptual faith that worships the Atom God.
