Mindless Winds Of Fate

Our Ship of State we sail to Paradise
is blown about by mindless winds of fate
because we stab the one eye of his son
who traps us in dark Cave of Consciousness,
then boast that we are Nobody with pride
till we are wrecked on shores of arrogance.

When we descend to Underworld of Fear,
souls battered hard by mindless winds of fate,
we find ghosts of our mothers with star eyes
who weep with broken hearts of innocence
but try to give us apple pies to eat
as we flee zombies of apocalypse.

Our tall towers of economic gain,
twisted with greed by mindless winds of fate,
provide safe shelter with stock-market tips
from homeless hordes of hungry refugees
who beg for Hospitality of Zeus
but bankers enslave them in factories.

Our Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil,
canopy torn by mindless winds of fate,
scatters rotten Fruit of Truth on shifting ground
so we bend over in the glaring sun
and fill our hearts with harvest of the Earth
that grocery stores sell to the privileged.

Attempting to evade designs on me
from satires shrieked by mindless winds of fate,
I utter surreal prophecies of truth
composed by seers in concentration camps
who wander undone by grand principles
as faceless monsters on Bridge of Desire.

We chase bright beams of moonlight in thick gloom
to evade blasts from mindless winds of fate,
but demons wake from long bewildered sleep
to watch us with indifferent eyes of fear
till they drive us to colonize the world
with Lamp of Diogenes in our hearts.

We who never arrive in Wonderland,
quest obstructed by mindless winds of fate,
should map our journey across the waste land
where we build garden walls from bones of gods
with mirrors that reflect our vain desires
when flap of crow wings startle us awake.

Excessive beauty of the broken heart,
bruised and battered by mindless winds of fate,
reveals strange truth we wince to understand
that not one single scar on heart of faith
came from our enemies, for they all came
from people we thought loved us with respect.
