As conscious meat puppet of chemicals,
flashing with light of ancient long-dead stars,
I play this charade of fictional I
in psychological performance of hope
while dancing on rope of fake confidence
across abyss of meaningless despair.

Since Nature is indifferent to my life,
though she created me with intense love
as I evolved four hundred million years,
I keep on living my daily routine
of eating food, mapping worlds, writing poems,
and watching dramas of human desire.

After walking signless road of weird dreams
sixty years from my cradle toward my grave,
which remains hidden somewhere in the mist
of some tomorrow I have not yet seen,
I recognize illusions of this world
so my worn-out heart can savor the truth.

Now that I see true nature of this world
after dispersing illusions of faith,
I can, with knowledge of what drives my song,
dispel negative emotions of fear
that threaten to damn me with impotence,
for I am fertile with fruit from despair.

Though despair once crippled my angel wings,
so I stumbled half-blind in maze of Hell,
desperately searching for the Holy Grail,
I found that treasure in heart of my mate
who generates new body from my mind
to replicate immortal soul of genes.

Encoding memories of ancestral lives
which program how my brain perceives the world
in myths and proverbs of compelling verse,
I chronicle long history of mankind
in tales of heroes who fight against hate
to generate new life before they die.

As librarian tasked with preserving books
that record epic tales of human life,
I guard Library of World History
so our descendants see how we behave
to avoid tragedy of selfish greed
by sharing love with generous respect.

Though we are meat puppets of chemicals
as temporary nodes of conscious life
who generate bodies of hungry flesh
to replicate immortal soul of genes,
we create beauty of truth about life
when we gather to share fruit and sing tales.
