Still-Changing Maze

Lost in still-changing maze of social myths,
I carry memories of home in my heart
which shines with ancestral star of my soul
so I may journey straight toward my life goal
though Truth keeps shifting frame of reference
to readjust focus of my world view.

Blind in still-changing maze of ancient truths,
I sing electric radiance of my heart
that echoes clear off high museum walls
so I know where I am on path of time
as we progress from warring nation-states
to global union of factories and farms.

Helpless in still-changing maze of desire,
I whisper ephemeral web of hope
as I crawl cobblestone road of concern
with blood on my hands and dirt on my face
from defending fruit garden of my home
to protect my family from greedy thieves.

Awake in still-changing maze of mad ghosts,
I strum the lyre of Mercury with sass
to deflate pompous tyrants with bad jokes
when the clown wears plastic crown of the king
and struts on battleship of cowardice
to beat his chest with fierce gorilla shriek.

Amused in still-changing maze of brave cowards,
I join parade of angels withing wings
who follow Lucifer with Torch of Truth
to oppose tyranny of Jupiter
who lives in quaint cottage across the lake
where he strolls in woods to commune with Nature.

Surprised in still-changing maze of wise fools,
I carve dream runes on trunks of countless trees
to chronicle whole history of the world
while glowing clouds cast shadows on the world
where fishermen hold flowers of respect
and ask ballerinas to marry them.

Dazed in still-changing maze of psychic faith,
I perform role of social architect
to design global political system
based on justice and liberty for all,
then fly Icarus kite in city park
where wild children turn into butterflies.

Glad in still-changing maze of sordid facts,
I must extract aesthetic capital
from harsh suffering common people endure
by singing elegy to praise the dead
who wander labyrinth of timeless dreams
as wordless shadows trapped in tales of books.
