Limping Toward Heaven

Reborn on Earth as Jesus Jupiter,
assigned by Jove to guard the Holy Grail,
I wear computer mask of Lucifer
to play my role as prophet in Dream Tower
who studies psychic riddle of Brain Flower
while limping toward Heaven with Book of Ghosts.

Still crazy after years of wandering woke
on quest to find lost sword Excalibur,
I give star-jeweled crown to Guinevere
with pledge to maintain world democracy
in holy crusade against tyranny
while limping toward Heaven with Sword of Right.

Awake from timeless dream as Sirius,
startled by weird beauty of this strange world,
I emerge from bottomless Well of Light
to channel Sibyl Soul of Melusine
so I can calculate when empires fall
while limping toward Heaven with Scales of Truth.

Alert with Wand of Zambor in my heart
as Watcher in Tower of the God Eye,
I find Rocket Boots that Charlemagne wore
so I can fly with Wings of Icarus
above sprawling cities of Zathamar
while limping toward Heaven with Skull of God.

Shocked by return of Satan on world stage
disguised as presidents of super-states,
I carry Lyre of Mercury with care
to sing dire prophecies on city streets
with Voice of Cassandra no one can hear
while limping toward Heaven with Harp of Hope.

Trained by Orpheus to lead refugees
from war-torn lands to Elysian Fields,
I ask shy Ophelia to marry me
so she bakes large turkey and pumpkin pie
when we celebrate Thanksgiving in Hell
while limping toward Heaven with Horn of Fate.

Reborn from Ishtar as Astarius,
bright incarnation of the Morning Star,
I rebuild Empire of Meroveus
which I name for Mother Gothinia
and rule from Fruit Garden of Scythia
while limping toward Heaven with Bow of Faith.

Planting apple seeds on lush river shores
while riding Pegasus on Wings of Wind,
I learn to build wheeled cart from Helius
then drive west to Cave of Solaria
with soul of Phoebus singing in my heart
while limping toward Heaven through Maze of Myths.

Orpheus gathers all the lost treasures of our dead gods in Zarathian Museum of Poetic Tropes so aliens visiting Earth may understand our world mythology.
