See Past Mask Of Seems

Sibylla walks along river of dreams
and chuckles at the strangeness of her thoughts
that ponder power struggles between men
over who controls who will get to eat,
then asks brave Hamlet if he knows the truth
that blinds our eyes to see past mask of seems.

Gazing out across great river of dreams,
Sibylla plucks apple from Tree of Life
then gives it calmly to the weeping man
and thanks Timoleon with beaming smile
because he freed the slaves of Syracuse
so they can live and thrive with equal rights.

We should abolish every monarchy,
Sibylla whispers in the morning breeze,
and force every tyrant to farm wheat fields
so we eat bread of brave humility,
then design social programs that support
development of talents into skills.

Our friendship is broad field of quiet light
where vibrant hours nurture our mental growth
so we share love through spiritual support
the way the shoreline embraces the sea
that helps us manage chaos of desire
when gentle hands create Heaven we share.

I want to offer you encouragement,
Sibylla speaks to crowd of citizens,
for I love you in my bewildered way
when I discover door inside my heart
that leads me to bright meadow of our hopes
where we share stories by the glowing moon.

When Hamlet leaves Ophelia behind,
where she floats singing on the River Styx,
Orpheus lifts her out with gentle arms
so they teach daughter of forbidden love
how to analyze fraught global affairs
and prophesy rise of democracy.

Engaged with process of creative art
that frames narrative of global success,
Sibylla fabulates with fairy tales
conceptual code through ambiguity
that stages plays of individual will
when people choose fate they try to avoid.

Brave hymns we sing in shadow of despair
embrace chaotic darkness of our hearts
refracting psychic energy of gods
so we break our minds free from social norms
and build global state of Zarathia
from shattered ruins of America.
