Fractured Sense Of Self

2026 09 26

If our remembered time of happiness
lurks eyelessly about half-broken doors
with dauntless urgency of naked thoughts,
who would dare require cruel fate to relent
his harsh decree that frail innocent souls
should suffer turmoil of national change.

No graceful spell of unspoken support,
developed by assertive breath of fear,
could reassemble fractured sense of self
dispersed by mocking laughter of concern
to scatter randomly in empty room
where gentle sorrow understands the why.

So we drive cars on endless road of hope
with urgent message from the fruitless tree
which curls roots under asphalt parking lots
with dire compassion for the homeless souls
who clamor to perform Shakespearean roles
through pride in Theater of the Absurd.

As ceaseless lackey to eternity,
entranced by ghastly shadows of my soul,
I should devise strange plots of social games
to outwit mockery of the jester-king
whose disrespect for values of the just
shocks honest folk with paralyzed contempt.

With easy steps of faithless honesty
I wander landscape of state memories
now cluttered with false idols of brave fools
whose hateful missions of aggressive rage
against lost homeless refugees from wars
should smirch his soul with curse of bitter fear.

Long did my fearful forefathers request
miraculous aid from Heaven above clouds
of glowing beauty with fervent faithfulness,
but no voice spoke except in wordless cracks
of horrifying thunder to provide
divine guidance to their misguided quest.

Undisciplined by nobleness of mind,
their urgent mission to create on Earth
utopian commune of the Promised Land
failed to expand our conscious scope of faith
beyond intense routine of crafting work
transforming raw materials to machines.

Now global revolution is at hand
through jolting buzz of passionate desire,
which deconstructs world view that furnished frame
for noble actions of heroic souls,
so we must spark as flame in fear-numb hearts
brave resolution to rebuild our state.
