Mad Ghost Of Truth

The meadows of sorrow are full of owls
who talk about unfolding spell of hope
that leads the wanderers of broken doors
forever lost in valley of glass skulls
that transform into cameras of lust
with which we photograph mad ghost of truth.

Tall wheat that shimmers in the field of lies
decides not to be baked into whole bread
which feeds five million refugees of war
who flee from mocking laughter of the gun
to conquer wilderness of fallen gods
with great army lead by mad ghost of truth.

At revelation of the shattered moon
love worries about children without eyes
who gather in the city park at dawn
to throw chess pieces in the river mud
till God accepts their newest testament
as binding contract from mad ghost of truth.

The old woman selling small apple pies
tells everyone to be kind to themselves
but they all run randomly on highways
where empty semitrucks race to the moon
to find the chicken god with thirty wings
deep-fried and consumed by mad ghost of truth.

On head of fallen Colossus we stand
to pledge allegiance to the starless flag
which angels follow to conquer the world
till every protestor against the king
has been stomped into silence of despair
despite futile prayers to mad ghost of truth.

Preaching exegesis through fairytales
that depict how the good men always lose,
Orpheus declares with confident bluff
that every man must kneel before the sky
to accept their fate decreed by the stars,
defied with courage by mad ghost of truth.

Each new fool who joins the Argonaut Team
brings secret treasure of their darkest heart
as sacrifice they must offer to gain
admittance to the weird society
which rules the world with arcane code of hymns
programmed from our dreams by mad ghost of truth.

Because he risks his life for amnesty
embodied by faith of the flying fish,
Orpheus rows frail boat across the sea
to climb rugged hills on gold Isle of Skye
where Skythe roasts fish in her secret cave
with respect to honor mad ghost of truth.

Orpheus tries to set Colossus upright on the pedestal, but its legs are too badly bent, so he tells children in school that it is a metaphor for the fall of America.
