Terror Of Electric Birds

If my deceptive albatross requires
imperfect pitch of never-spoken words
I might decide to direct solemn choirs
who sing from terror of electric birds
that clamor with explosion of time bombs
in symphony composed by ghost of Brahms.

Enraged at how sly Rigoletto mocks
his haughty arrogance with scathing jokes,
King Midas orders jesters stoned with rocks,
and screams their accusations are a hoax,
then hippo-toddles in the putrid swamp
to blaring trumpets of unroyal pomp.

So Cathy snaps the television off
just as brave David kills the haughty king
because the woke adults begin to scoff,
and skips along the empty road to sing
about White Knight enchanted by weird spell
that leads him lost through endless maze of Hell.

When Belle Dame without Mercy wakes from dream,
while driving ghostly car on highway home,
she deconstructs the cruel government scheme
to reinvent the world empire of Rome,
dismantling privilege of racial pride
by flipping social concepts on their side.

While wandering cheerful on the misty moors,
Cathy finds Rigoletto bound by lies,
so she helps him discover secret cures
for foul diseases that blind human eyes
which helps us see the truth of what is real
so we stand for justice with noble zeal.

Kwan Yin appears from empyrean beam
as smiling woman on the mountain peak
which illuminates delusions of seem
as we accept the emptiness we seek
on sacred quest to cultivate our souls
when we prepare to play our special roles.

Browsing antique shop in the country town,
Cathy finds the lost Book of Liberty,
so she trades it for Tarot of the Clown
to lift humanity from poverty,
but no one believes in her six-step plan
though she supports crowning of Athelstan.

I am not surprised when Cathy decides
to marry grandson of the Fisherman
who investigates brutal homicides
till he gets trapped inside the Wicker Man,
so King Midas becomes the sacrifice
that cleanses our nation from civil strife.

Orpheus finds thousands of jesters and clowns imprisoned in Alcatraz, so he frees them from chains and leads them from Hell to freedom in land of the brave.
