Lost Somewhere Outside Why

He always has the snarky I do not
want to do things your way attitude so
when they give him the literary prize
and offer him prestigious professorship
at the ivy-league university,
he goes hitchhiking sea to shining sea
to play guitar and busk on city streets,
singing about the Spirit of Liberty
instead, and gets lost somewhere outside why.
He walks the signless highway beyond hope
to write long epic poem of heroism
on shifting sands of social censorship
in secret Runes that no one else can read
while hanging nine years on a telephone pole,
blinded in one eye replaced by the screen
of the television tube that replays
entire strange history of the human race
how we all get lost somewhere outside why.
Leading army of zombie prophets far
beyond the ruined walls of paradise,
the Light-Maker, who fell from Tower of Sight,
storms the huge One-Eyed Pyramid of Power
to overthrow the storm God who steals souls,
and frees enslaved minds from his propaganda,
but they worship statue of the Golden Car
when he returns from Parnassus with tablets
after he gets lost somewhere outside why.
Casting tablets with epic poem of truth
broken on the waste land of rainless clouds,
he wanders laughing in labyrinth of doors,
searching ever for the hero of the hour
who smashes each horcrux of the blind tyrant
to save the world from tyranny of money,
but sits inside silent library hall
listening to terror of truth through the wall
because he gets lost somewhere outside why.
Carving marble blocks from bones of the world,
to build new temple of ten thousand gods,
which preserves faces of each conscious soul
who rose from lake of dreams at dawn of time,
the laughing prophet of the secret truth
measures geography of human dreams
to map our melancholy hope for love
so we can escape the weird maze of Heaven,
although we get lost somewhere outside why.
Now that the servants of the king of gold
want to crown him the poet laureate,
they find him singing in the cave of shadows
down in the grand canyon of literature
to make the serpents of deliberate lies
dance on the grave of the wise Fairy Queen
who returns again with the Morning Star
to reign as Ishtar on our pyramid
so he gets unlost somewhere outside why.
