Horse Of Honesty

Escaping cathedral of haughty devils,
Jupiter leaps on horse of honesty
to race fate against arrogance of leopards
who enslave workers in maze of myths
when saints praying in church turn into zombies
who sing holy hymns to their vampire god.
Waving his hand to dispel strange illusions,
Jupiter rides quick horse of honesty
past fields of wheat where peasants wearing masks
sing heart-wrenching blues about bitter lives
for sweet chariot to carry them home
while bands of angels restrain them with guns.
Arriving by ship on the Baltic Sea,
Jupiter leaves brave horse of honesty
grazing on lush grass in the barbed-wire field,
and drives green truck in vast Teutoburg Forest
to kill Hansel so he can marry Gretel
who sells gingerbread cookies in the market.
Dancing round Earth-sprawling Irminsul Tree,
Jupiter tames wild horse of honesty,
then leads great army of robotic knights
to build global empire of Gothinia
binding Europe and Russia in one country
so he can play Pope in the Vatican.
Pondering Platonic Realm of Ideas,
Jupiter chats with horse of honesty
about how God is substance of all things
who stands under existing forms of faith
through universal field of energy
that glows in White Whole of his dreaming brain.
Measuring material substance of truth,
Jupiter gauges horse of honesty
that manifests conceptual Idea of Horse
which occupies finite volume of space
and animates finite process of time,
then paints its portrait after his horse dies.
Startled when Midas occupies his throne,
Jupiter seeks lost horse of honesty
to soar fast as lightning back to Olympus
where Pluto and Orcus, wearing his crowns,
twirl his thunderbolts of authority
and mock the aging storm god as out of touch.
Wandering in exile across the waste land,
Jupiter calls for horse of honesty
to proudly bear the world-conquering hero
who opposes tyranny of grim Pluto
by pushing Stone of Sisyphus up hill
to smash clay-foot idol of the false god.
