Faceless Terran Wraith

If people think about the shattered light
as if grass grows from corpses of old gods,
we might soon comprehend weird rules of flight
accentuated by gold lightning rods
fixed firm in round array of star-code rays
which guide our journey in the dreamless maze.

Each building we construct from photographs
will crumble into fragments of strange lies
that program riddles of thought cryptographs
devised to fool the faithful psychic spies
who still believe this land belongs to them
though no one now can wear the diadem.

Ishtar commissions Phoebus to construct
religious institution based on dreams
from framework of our psychic aqueduct
to model meaning of life on vale streams
through ontological scripture of faith
embodied by the faceless Terran wraith.

Because truth is beauty, and beauty truth,
eccentric proverb of the angsty seer,
I find my calling as messiah sleuth
appointed by the global puppeteer,
so I lounge alone in my Nowhere Land
to program visions with my red right hand.

Though our great nation is falling apart,
the land remains from sea to shining sea
as we have mapped our tales across its chart,
because it is illusion we are free
that dissipates beneath dictatorship
which attempts to control our membership.

Born from the pungent soil of Oregon
with wings my father Icarus gave me,
I oppose tyranny of Babylon
where Star Dragon rises from Liberty
to transform how we view our nation-state
in changing landscape we must navigate.

People of America gather round
the fallen angel once named Gabriel
who writhes in anguish on unholy ground
to make our nation more imperial,
uniting Europe as Gothinia
to ally with new-born Zarathia.

When soldiers with green crosses on their shields
march with cameras instead of death guns
to conquer lost tribes of Elysian Fields,
we gather in stone ring where the horse runs
to vote for our new world democracy
presided over by Queen Liberty.

Orpheus assists Queen Liberty as she reigns over the united empire of Zarathia and Gothinia where every person lives safely in equality of justice under one global law.
