Apple Trees Of Human Hearts

Some have called me the Complicated Man
because I swerve from strict expected path
through many twists and turns with just my wit
by stumbling randomly down signless road
forever nowhere to the Promised Land
that shimmers gold as palace made of clouds.

Wrath at injustice of tyrants and thieves
has driven me through jeweled Gate of Hell
with hope that I may purge my heart of hate
and, fueled by love for every human soul,
ascend Star Mountain to Temple of Truth
where I play Lyre of Mercury and sing.

As young man with my magic talisman,
glass tablet eye-phone of the world wide web,
aided by wise ancestor of my heart,
I wield Slingshot of David to oppose
brute tyrant who exploits the working man,
then found world nation on equality.

With Sword of Arthur I forge from the stone,
and Bow of Odysseus I string with faith,
I help Athena fight for Liberty
so ever person living on this Earth
may employ talents developed as skills
to build global system of equal rights.

Each day I work to map this complex world
with tales on maps that record human deeds,
I help construct virtual model of Earth
to program digital twin of our world,
yet one day Death in black carriage of fate
will stop for me on Road of Anywhere.

Though I never planned progress of my life,
and wandered here and there on road of hope,
chasing rainbows to meadow of mute ghosts,
I have arrived at garden of my fate,
having accomplished project of my heart
composing Astarian Scriptures of truth.

These scriptures I compose with honest joy
detail new testament of my world view
which I assemble in puzzle of life
from every myth of every human tribe
in one whole tale of failure and success
through world faith of Astarianity.

Now that I have translated song of waves
to dream-encoded sentences of verse
that faintly gleam with visions of my mind,
I shall lie down by timeless Lake of Dreams
so my bones become stones and my flesh soil
from which sprout apple trees of human hearts.

Orpheus teaches me to play the lyre of Mercury and improvise epic tales about heroes who explore nature to program how we perceive the universe.
