Illusion Of Our Nation

Assassination of the happy clown,
which always happens at the dawn of time,
startles everyone in the ghostly town
where brave shepherds cry at the fractured chime
that vibrates from crystal ball of the witch
who sees the future in my broken heart.

Still arrogant pride of the weeping judge
annoys the lonely raven on the sign
which indicates which way the turtle goes
to play with joyous goats in ring of stones
that transform into square towers of glass
designed to regulate passionate faith.

Extracting wisdom from the foul swamp muck
despite how doors howl at the math exam,
I am determined to marry Queen Luck
whose spirit face postulates which engram
represents stone angel of my fierce heart
when I spread wings of my consular chart.

Climbing narrow trail in forest of pines
to gypsy camp in lush Avilion,
I find statue of Star Goddess Ishtar
that depicts Mother of Humanity
holding crystal jewel of the God Eye
which beams bright rays of truth into my heart.

Extending loyal worship of my soul,
I weep that Ishtar vanished from this world
though she assigned me to play guardian role,
so I return to Earth as cosmic herald,
sent by Sun Spider of spirit rebirth
to maintain United Nations of Earth.

Hungry for beautiful truth of the mind,
I eat hamburgers with root beer and fries
in the busy cafe where troubadours
recount fantastic legends of great heroes
who sacrifice their lives to save the state
from tyranny of oligarchs blind with hate.

Mesmerized by grand painting on the wall
with Odysseus and Penelope
feasting together in their new-cleaned hall,
I think about my love Persephone
who was abducted by the tyrant king
who cut out my tongue so I cannot sing.

Through resurrection of the happy clown
some think we can restore America,
but illusion of our nation we dreamed
has vanished with factory smoke at sunset,
so we build new concept of Zarathia
based on Justice and Liberty for all.

Orpheus lays wreath of flowers at my tomb beneath the statue of Ishtar who holds crystal jewel of the God Eye.
