Puzzle Of My Creed

Nothing says crazy like the way cows laugh
at foibles of human contests for power
based on who can best tame the fierce giraffe
on which he rides to possess the star tower
then crash pearly gates of Jerusalem,
yet still I rule ghosts of Elysium.

Mad prophet of the modern nuclear age
proclaims prophecies through the radio
about the woman who appears on stage
to build world empire from lush Idaho
in bid to equalize all states of mind
since no one seems to know how to be kind.

We sell each other trinkets of dream truth
to fuel economic growth for our state
so well-organized by messiah sleuth
who reads Tarot cards to program our fate
that helps us prosper till the end of time
when the world transforms with the charming chime.

Assertive progress to express the self
diverts attention of prophetic seers
who code weird characters for the book shelf
through revolution against puppeteers
despite acceptance of faith in the Lord
who conquers the world with my bloody sword.

Through psychic breath of distant ringing bells
I clear space wide around my dream-framed soul
for morphing pain with ghosts of secret wells
so bitter wisdom programs my new role
which I perform in tower by the lake
to prove my persona is me, yet fake.

Projective spell of words that weave world view
swells whole organic body from my brain
which I sustain by performing virtue
based on tragic tales in which tyrants gain
social power over gullible fools
who fight to dismantle our public schools.

When I discover mystery of the heart
at crossroads of my senses bound by hope,
I record my quest on confusing chart
that teaches my followers how to cope
with disappointment that every soul dies
so our memories vanish from our eyes.

This complicated virtual world of life
which I program from all my memories,
that keys proverbs for managing harsh strife,
dissipates to nothing all truths and lies
except what I record in spells you read
in project to paint puzzle of my creed.
