Holy Light Of Fear

Walking across the water on star feet
to dominion of the blood-stained sepulcher,
I bring scripture of state catastrophe
as potent spell of resurrected gods
to lead procession of the dead from Hell
so demons rampage in nations of Earth.

Divinity comes not from silent shadows,
but hides in pungent fruit of psychic trees
which burns our hearts with holy light of fear
that cherished thoughts of Heaven we cling to
deceive our eyes with putrid fantasies
to lure us into destined graves of faith.

Subdued elation when the towers fall
in flames of national glory we admire,
traps our hungry bodies in routines
of helpless ambition to obtain wealth
more than we need to survive each day
in restless struggle to transcend our rage.

Though we pray fervently with honest faith,
no Jove appears in thunderous clouds of truth,
yet cruel men, mad with lust to rule our lives,
trick our hearts into giving them our trust
as they declare themselves our savior-kings
who hide their greed behind the smarmy smile.

Indifferent beauty of the silver sky
glares down at us with hostile friendliness
as we project at invisible gods
supernatural powers we wish we possess,
then fight each other in grand holy wars
over whose concept of God reigns supreme.

Through fertile glory of enduring love
we work together with unspoken faith
in principle of liberty for all
who live within one universal law
to maintain world food-production machine
while haunted by chimera of the grave.

Melodious hymn of shocking prophecy
reveals grand project of our loyal tribe
which focuses attention of our hearts
on consummation of religious faith,
though we endure the visionary joke
which traps us in the maze of paradise.

Reborn from chaos of the singing sun
with spontaneous joy of fearful urgency,
we rise from darkness on extended wings
with righteous undulations of weird courage
to manage turbulence of global change
with fierce devotion to democracy.

Orpheus brings new covenant of global prophecy for Jove to sign in commitment to protect mankind, but he sneers and throws in the fire of arrogance.
