Wall Of Eternal Hope

With subtle arrogance of honest lust
I stumble drunk on Dionysian wine
down shadowy corridors of desire
past marble idols of cute goddesses
whose stony eyes pierce my heart with true love
when I fall off wall of eternal hope.

Reluctant anguish of conceptual faith
sparks my stone heart with electric regret
that spurs my pilgrimage of torpidity
to find Urania singing in the rain
while dancing on the rocky ocean shore
when I lounge on wall of eternal hope.

Through expectation of reliant jokes
I give my credentials to the tree ghost
who unlocks door to the house of detention
so all the demons escape caves of Hell
to eat hotdogs and drink beer at the bar
enclosed by glass wall of eternal hope.

Despite persuasion of the Holy Ghost,
who binds our aching hearts of wretched love
with barbed dogmatic wires of loyalty,
Grendel kicks down iron cathedral door
to drink the blood and eat the flesh of Christ
and smear mud on wall of eternal hope.

Trembling naked on wind-blasted sea shore,
Augustine shouts at the blind thunder god
with optimistic prayers of eager horror
to understand the noble sacrifice
made by the Fisher King to save the world
after breaking wall of eternal hope.

Confidence founded on complex chess games
lures refugees from brutal civil wars
to sail the seven seas in whaling boats
through project to colonize jungle lands
where everyone votes to end slavery
when Jesus builds wall of eternal hope.

Fragments of history shattered by bombs,
organized by states of divinity,
contain scenes where honest men conquer tyrants
and rule the people with generous trust
till revolution of the bourgeoisie
who redefine wall of eternal hope.

Twanging strings of his electric guitar
and screaming curses in the microphone,
Apollo performs in huge stadium
where eighty thousand devils rock and roll
till they transform into angels with wings
who fly beyond wall of eternal hope.
