Helpless Fantasy Of Wealth

2026 02 07

Irrational residue of vibrant matter
contracts through sentences of phony words
which resonate with blackness of the night
based on virtual reality of thoughts
we sell each other in dark alleyways
while leaning on the chain-link fence of faith.

Each morning we wake up stronger than hope
by sealing midnight pain with almost love
despite expressive stones of ardency
contained in familiar story untold
about how society breaks in bands
who dwell unpeacefully in dead-end towns.

Heroic figures straddle tallest clouds
to scatter coins of water on our heads
while we watch prophet of the fallen god
wrestle vainly in fields of rotten wheat
where characters from stories never read
wither with helpless fantasy of wealth.

Awake on our wedding night, I explain
how sorrow burns beautiful hearts to glass,
deeper than inability to talk
about violence half-seen in dim woods
where noble warriors get caught in traps
yet yell at houses with exploding doors.

Clever belief system of structured facts
intrigues hungry gangs of wandering clowns
who insist they are hunters of the heart
though biographies they scribble with blood
are thrown on junkheap of religious faith
beneath great mountain carved with face of God.

Alert to sudden truth of angry kings,
she spreads her arms out to the fractured sky
that disappears in tone of screaming trees
with courage to oppose the police state
that imitates how Heaven controls minds
based on progress of economic games.

Through unilateral breath of holy law
our car mechanic memorizes jokes
encoding principles of moral tricks
which illustrate our failure and success
despite dissatisfaction shared by all
concerning state of illusion we flee.

Gorgeous fortune never favors the bold
for superfluous gears programming time
since we must accept emotional traps
which we present as the true way we live
supported by traditions mothers mend
through symbiosis of our pageless book.
