Weird Emptiness Of Truth

Wide-angle view inside my empty heart
reveals ten billion faceless ghosts of fate
who ask if I remember shocking hour
ten million years ago on river shore
when we first faced the giant demon toad
with gold flashing eyes and razor-sharp teeth.

After Theseus defeats the Minotaur
in glorious battle against monstrous hate,
he works as mechanic at the car shop,
fixing piston engines with crafty hands
so we can drive our time machines to work,
then back home to eat dinner with the kids.

Regaling companions at fine restaurants,
while eating beef steak and drinking tart wine,
the Great Movie Director with grand words
relates sordid tales of his past triumphs
creating the best movies of all time
about corruption of powerful men.

Because laughter gives birth to foul discourse
by insulting men of authority
to prove they are just as mortal as us,
I prance with wild exaggerated jest
to mock the thief who thinks he is our king
so I laugh when I fall on my own face.

While the humble shepherd with curving harp
sings reverent psalms of worshipful respect
for power of Nature to create souls,
kings wield their holy books as sharpened swords
to kill rebels who laugh at their false pride
till the Jester kills the Tyrant with one stone.

We climb misty peaks of intelligence
to peer in gloomy furnaces of fate
where laws of metaphysics control change,
so we can break through walls of worldly pride
and dance with eager diabolic joy
on graves of gods who writhe in agony.

Observing imperfections of the mind,
I scorn aggressive tyranny of doubt
to weep with laughter from calamity
that shakes foundation of our world empire
through shock of willful liberty to sing
about our suffering in the prison camp.

Constrained by maxim of the wise buffoon
that laughter raises saviors from the dead,
I purchase at expense of brave virtue
soul-healing relief of scandalous spells
that photograph weird emptiness of truth
so I see my face in eyes of your faith.
