World King By Accident

Commencing slide into abyss of faith,
we try to surf electric waves of truth,
but tumble laughing with frantic delight,
sprawled across fraught landscape of broken skulls
because our faces are erased by light
though we humans invent magical tools.

Despite arduous task assigned by God
to build social system from psychic mud,
we skip with carefree joy of happy fools
in haunted valleys of Elysian Fields
to rescue children from church-funded schools
in scenes depicted on Achillean shields.

Digging trench to assemble water main
which channels spirit energy of rain,
Daedalus directs construction project
to link our hearts across Antarctic waste
according to plans of the Architect
on which our social system will be based.

Arrest of Midas and Herod at last
will prove the second civil war is past
when journalists reporting latest news
find Isaiah mute on the White House lawn
after he escapes with help of the Muse
from gulag prison of the Golden Dawn.

While twanging electric guitar on stage
to sing lyrics that express youthful rage
against machine of empire we oppose,
Bacchus collapses from huge heart attack
that blooms from his heart as angelic rose,
recorded live on film with the laugh track.

Mask of his face illuminated bright
when Fame finds Mad Prophet with truth spotlight,
Phoebus declares campaign for President
when he preaches salvation by faith of works,
then finds himself World King by accident,
so he rules wisely without power perks.

Electrocuted by conceptual wire
of language code programmed for global choir,
Jove plays police with authority voice
with crucial help from lamp clown Lucifer
who preaches truth by democratic choice,
conceived through Liberty by Jupiter.

Crowned God by Melusine and Guinevere,
to nurture people as the Puppeteer,
new World Messiah floats on pyramid
as Big Brother watching all with One Eye
to guide our growth beyond being Hominid
till I fall head-first from Heavenless sky.
