Flag Of Innocent Respect

Waving the flag of innocent respect,
I run smoky streets where ravens abide
in lustrous lighthouse of the listless sect
who measure misfortune of mindless pride
with pure Promethean passion of the lost
despite attempts to recover the cost.

Blessing brutal battle of honest hope,
I try to stop masked men with toxic guns
who kidnap migrants still learning to cope
with barbarous rules bland devil outruns
in race against domestic fortitude,
fooled by myopic monsters seeking food.

Pressing backs against the prison-bound truck
where tax-paying workers shackled by chains
gamble for salvation with Lady Luck,
we fail attempt to earn capital gains
based on inevitable game of trust,
twisted by language of pecunial lust.

Escaping grasp at flotsam of my mind,
spirit starved by disbrilliant scam of faith,
I grasp with torrid talons undesigned
at tender wonder of melodious wraith
who sells us wishes forged in flames of fate
for spells concocting tricks of transient hate.

Recording heartbreak in screenplay of jokes
that presents deeds of bored backsliding thief,
I strengthen knowledge of the promised hoax
with praised putrescence pilfered from fake grief
by mixing concepts marginal to proof
no Gift-Giver prances on our church roof.

Issuing cards with identity code,
designed to error emulated masks,
I photograph auras through mental mode
with tragic turpitude of menial tasks
the wingless devil thinks he must perform
to vacuum biohazards from the storm.

Soaring across our nation on glass wings
to multitask monumental regret,
I valve strict surgical nature of rings
to protect precious life of my coquette
who rules curious castaways of fame,
nourished by psychic glamor of her name.

Brushing our fragile bodies into Hell,
the thoughtless hand of God nurtures no care
for spirit of the goddess in the well
who asks me to accept her dauntless dare
that must provide no alibi for why
except what we invent with Watching Eye.
