Bleeding Hands Of Faith

Wandering so long in the Other World
shaped from memories of the distant past
my ancestors programmed into my brain,
I gaze amazed at this world of machines
that transformed feudal kingdoms of farms
into computer-powered superstate.

While waiting around for the cosmic herald
to explain why territory-based states,
exerting pressure of commercial gain,
nurture power of wealthy oligarchs,
I map vast ecosystem of the mind
to record ever-changing state of being.

The overall progress of social rites,
which define nature of societies,
is formed from countless threads of energy
embodied by each individual person
who performs daily routines of production
to fund safe haven of their family home.

We are animals in sheltering cages
that we construct with intentional prayer
to protect our bodies from exploitation
by keeping our prison key in our pocket
so we can hide in walls of paradise
our parents built with bleeding hands of faith.

With honest expertise of cherry blossoms
that fool our eyes with vision of soft snow,
we analyze psychic process of faith
refracting light of objects we perceive
so we impose state ideology
to mask demonic nature of desire.

So millions of people with star-lit eyes
open their hearts to energy of dreams
with mental focus of shamanic source
to channel Voice of God through poetry
that we all sing in global choir of seers
which beams our national soul in one brain.

Bright eye of Heaven always shines so hot
we feel immortal conscious Mind of God
radiate from temporary brains that dream
millions of ancestral lives in one play
that we perform in our brief hour of light,
gazing through eternity at the lake.

Rich green of shore plants gleam in trickling stream
that leads me far from city maze of streets
to timeless stillness of the forest glade
where I find basic concept of my soul
as uncarved statue of stone by the lake
that leads me home safe from the Other World.

Orpheus sets up a booth on Dead Poets Boulevard to sell roadmaps for the soul since we all must journey to the Other World to attain salvation.
