Restore Greatness Of America

If I should paint the wide subversive sky
true color of your heart when we first meet,
the people of the world might analyze
sufficient romance of my sacrifice
against synopsis of the seminar
to judge my brave sincerity of love.

If I should find crippled crow of my heart
hopping frantically across the wet lawn,
the angels of the mountain might require
visual conformation of my despair
revealed by neon sign of vacancy
that flashes intermittently till dawn.

If I should hear the sharp objective cry
of morbid nurses in the bitter wind,
the devils in cathedrals might expect
guards at the gate of Hell to optimize
nutritious medicine of martial law
that traps us in Nirvana after all.

If I should see the glowing Face of God
that beams from center of the universe,
the grim professors might demand I write
my doctoral thesis about poverty
that traps the talented in menial jobs
while mediocre fools run governments.

If I should write the holy manuscript
that prophesies new empire of the lost,
the tongueless preachers might demand I burn
idols of heroes from religious tales
to cleanse the sanctuary of the lamb
who rules through journalist integrity.

If I should map whole history of the Earth
that details how great empires rise and fall,
the housewives in schools might demand I play
games with children of crippled warriors
who volunteer to count the treasury
when priests sell them shares to the Afterlife.

If I should decree new socialist creed
to restore greatness of America,
the lawyers in banks might demand I steal
celestial wings of flight from Icarus
so they can storm Heaven in holy coup
to crown shy Jesus Emperor of Earth.

If I should play role of messiah sleuth
through rational performance of my heart,
the oligarchs might demand I program
new world view that excludes divinities
to build from ruins of America
new state based on equal rights in one law.
