Invisible Harps Of Light

I will steal invisible harps of light
strummed by old lonely watcher of the skies,
then sing of love for everyone alive,
though nations crowded in vast cities fight
over whose leader rules with better lies
based on principles for which people strive.

Since no world messiah has yet appeared
in spaceship flashing high among the clouds,
I hand out religious brochures to sell
national pride that does not seem too weird
for loyal mannequins in cheering crowds
who curse their opponents to burn in Hell.

Lamenting how they drove old Dixie down,
I laugh from ruins of our enterprise,
then fight to trash game of democracy
till we elect as king the greedy clown
who sneers with harsh contempt to demonize
honest people who follow Liberty.

I pluck my heart from pool of bitter tears
and with ravenous gluttony devour
hearts of the poor who slave in factories
yet hope to buy enough to purchase fears
embodied by blind princess in the tower
who legalizes social policies.

I marvel to remember idle thoughts
cawed by the three-eyed raven of far sight
through which I prophesy with riddling spells
fall of our world empire to wise robots
who master graceful mystery of flight
when serpents slither from dried-up oil wells.

As Flower of the Mountain I adore,
my wife designs ten thousand characters
for children in the meadow where ghosts play
while I work selling costumes at the store
that mask Cinderellas and Jupiters
who ask their fathers if they want to pray.

Along the highway crowded with gray cars
the Charioteer with Bow of burning gold
races swiftly toward the White House at dawn
to readjust dire fortune of the stars
and retrieve sacred treasures that were sold,
but weeps when he finds out he is my pawn.

Calm in safe cradle of world history,
new-born messiah sleuth waits for his time
to ride Gold Dragon of imperial power
when he attempts to solve the mystery
recorded in weird riddles without rhyme
how sunlight becomes fruit inside the flower.
