Declare Myself Uncitizen

Straight over broken rocks of rugged hills
toward azure infinity of the sea
I walk across Thasos Island at noon
to join Staphylus in his wicked dance
for mocking small kings who think they are gods
though they are hidden in towers of glass.

My heart spurts blood on barbarian land
to cleanse attentive angst of thought control
while soaring wingless across the last sky
which gains finality beyond exile
by wrenching free from cubicles of gold
before blind gods expel me from their myths.

Since I lost interest in the shining world
based on supreme fiction of global fame,
I stand mute on stage bathed in dusty light,
perched equidistant between East and West
to map topography of broken minds
crushed by bland forces of conformity.

Thus I declare myself Uncitizen
of every crowded country on the Earth,
accomplished emblem of democracy
since I transcend strict borders of the state
as psychic chameleon with many names
detached from national greatness of pride.

I dwell in Middle Earth of shifting tones,
devalued by elite crowd of the state
as parrot nomad of the mapless mind
till I return to my ancestral land
disguised as savior of humanity,
trapped by principles of the Underground.

As the most dangerous public enemy
who established network of terrorists
I paint cute demons in the holy book
with pretty faces of celebrities
while imprisoned in legend of my fate
where I watch angels hanged by the world state.

Threatened by otherness of common folk,
proud haughty butcher of the twisted tree
builds walls of Aparthood as paradise
enclosing special people inside fear
who buy and sell identity with gold
melted from skull of Ozymandias.

Awake at edge of our pulsating world,
we live in dark times of our poisoned pride
as sparks streaking vaults of eternity
to annotate our victories on church walls
with Voice of the People they crucify
till Staphylus gives me glass of sour wine.

Orpheus prances along the wall of Aparthood while strumming lyre of Mercury that causes vibrations which destroy the false separateness of racial pride.
