Electric Horse of Fame

The subtle difference between pears and guns
confounds mind of the robot with blue stones
when children chase electric horse of fame
to sell his glass skull in the market place
where Death keeps watch on pyramid of eyes,
commissioned to judge business arguments.

Addicted to sweet beauty of red clouds,
spies leap across neurodivergent sky
with tangled concepts wrapped in riddled jokes
disguised as magic formulas of hope
which angry people throw from bridge of tears
till all our treasures sink into green gloom.

Slouched in his office without telephones,
grim clown who plays messiah on world stage
rants rabidly about invading hordes
who steal doors from cathedral of mushroom brains
when gangs of secret police arrest teachers
who sing about our land of liberty.

Laughing scissors in hands of the sad fool,
who prances on edge of the paper tower,
slice contracts into eyeless dolls of greed
that decorate nuclear missiles of love
before soul adjustment requires fake cash
to count as profit from war refugees.

Almost forgotten by their worshippers,
faceless gods, who pay prophets to invent
tales of miracles they never perform,
drive trucks on highways around hopping toads
whose hurricane eyes hypnotize believers
with fantasies of true America.

Gathered in communes on old failing farms,
office workers, who analyzed spreadsheets
with programmed computers to calculate wealth,
plant corn and squash with bleeding hands of faith
after their empire collapses in debt
because salary thieves play golf all day.

While our grand world view crumbles into lies
that we are heirs to noble principles
based on justice and liberty for all,
we work together on the country farm
to rebuild commercial base of exchange
connecting communities with brave need.

Though King Midas destroys America
by stealing taxes from our treasury,
Odin rides on electric horse of fame
to restore stature of democracy
so everyone who shares this fertile land
creates their version of Heaven on Earth.
