We Grant No Kings

Based on illusion of our time on Earth
we perform defiance of faceless gods
with tools designed by intermittent need
to adjust slipstreaming atoms of hope
till Lucifer describes how to reconstruct
image of mankind we think is divine.

Intense vibration of the star-god brain
spurs trees to bloom from blood-soaked soil of fate
so we remember every bad event
that traps us in recurring loop of fear
though we stand bold against cruel tyranny,
determined not to care if we are crushed.

Taught by the Star Gazer with diamond eyes
to analyze progress of state affairs,
I climb stairs of the tower to the sky
where God presides at oak desk of insight
to manage corporate empire of his greed,
exploiting human bodies to gain wealth.

Where pink peonies bloom from graves of gods
we dance with wild abandon of despair
till cute white Japanese Snow Fairy tit
lands on frail branch of the old cherry tree,
and gazes in my soul with piercing eyes
black as lightless hole of eternity.

We grant no kings right to exploit our souls
by standing silently on busy streets
with signs that boldly state our point of view
that men who grasp at dictatorial power
collapse from fraught exertion of despair
so we record their failure to adapt.

Since my immortal soul of demon genes
got split in two weird doppelganger idols
I contradict myself with timeless truths
based on impossible code of distrust
despite how I think time should construct fate
with subtle laughter of the falling snow.

Yet sad horse in clothes closet of lost faith
waits amid dresses hanging from my skull,
while young girl sneers at me with sly respect,
then opens every door around the world
that might release from shadow of contempt
brave figures of cosmic authority.

Discarding orders of the angry king
with sharp regression of my mirrored soul,
I recount tale of patriotic boys
who turn against mute tyrant in the tower
till Solemn Jester plays sweet saxophone
to indicate democracy has won.
