Entangled stories of religious myths
reveal common elements of one faith
that binds all human minds in firm belief
we carve as symbols on black monoliths
which vibrate with spirit of the god wraith
who offers comfort in our hour of grief.

Composing frame of social reference
to better organize random events
in coherent narrative of my life,
I attend grand celestial conference
to analyze what each trope represents
in how I gain wisdom through psychic strife.

While strolling in Museum of Mad Souls,
I study masks of ancient characters,
that still includes prophets, jesters, and kings,
to understand how they designed their roles
as choir directors or vain choristers
who devise proverbs from heart sufferings.

Each time I learn new facts about the world,
and see how other people choose their fate
through decisions made in the heat of fear,
I expand my story as cosmic herald
who maps history so I can navigate
maze of myths designed by the Puppeteer.

As prophet cursed to watch effects unfold,
from causes sparked by fear-empowered greed,
I project vision of Heaven on Earth
that we create from ideals angels mold
to nurture paradise with fruitful seed
so we ensure success of spirit birth.

As jester urged by quick rebellious mind,
to rewrite system of progressive rules,
I leap outside flow of accepted norms
to broaden perspective of all mankind
with magic results of conceptual tools
we employ to survive destructive storms.

As king commissioned by popular will,
to manage their skills in productive work,
I build global food-production machine
through capital that funds crops on the hill
distributed to all as social perk
that nurtures growth with creative routine.

As game host in Museum of Mad Souls,
trained by Minerva to record the truth,
I carve special personality masks
for growing children to invent their roles
through divine vision of messiah sleuth
who grants vacation from our tedious tasks.
