State Of White Privilege

The white horse of social analysis
gallops across the plain of singing ghosts
so Hercules wrestles river of snakes
to cleanse the American halls of power
swamped by the greed of oligarchic clowns
who steal keys to the kingdom from dead Christ.

The white horse of conceptual innuendo
likes to turn humans on to the starlight
so we are awed by mystery of the Eye
that always seems to watch us from the sky
till we reverse the mask we choose to wear
as mirror that reflects psychology.

The white horse of the psychic manifesto
presents the moon goddess in Silver Cloud,
her starship she flies over city maze
to beam up holy warriors of the heart
who join her justice squad to fight the power
that legislates regressive policies.

The white horse of mental paralysis
deals cards on the gambling table of faith
to cheat the clown who thinks he owns the world
by prancing on the stage with childish glee,
distracting us so he can steal the key
that opens pearly gates of paradise.

The white horse from the lake of Tantalus
gives fruit he stole from sacred Tree of Life
to everyone who walks the signless road
on quest to find the Ring of Zathamar
which gives the bearer weird ability
to perceive the whole flow of history.

The white horse of the Queen of Mexico
who tours along the Mississippi River
describes how Mercury designed the lyre
from rib cage of the haughty dinosaur
who signs executive orders all day
while helicopters and airplanes collide.

The white horse of the golden piccolo,
prancing down Champs-Elysees Avenue,
considers why the theater is dead
though Brecht and Ibsen live inside our head
with tales of haunted heroines who fight
for right to control their reproductive choices.

The white horse of oneiric calculus
casts wicked spell of multicultural rites
which we gather at witching hour of night
to perform against regime of King Midas
whose greedy touch turns everything to junk
that bankrupts the state of white privilege.

Orpheus bows to Lady Godiva who rides the white horse of respect for the multicultural heritage of Americans who cheer her revolution of justice.
