Hiding Secrets Worth Nothing

Hiding Secrets Worth Nothing

You work for me now so you must obey
laws trees sing through breeze of dissolved respect
erupting bright from cracked shell of desire
however soon we may arrive in town
to claim the holy grail in the thrift shop
hiding secrets worth nothing more than words.

Start work every morning before red dawn
bleeds anguish from tearless eyes of the clown
crowned king of fools at the Easter parade
driven mad by formulas that reveal
nature of milk to energize chess games
hiding secrets worth nothing more than tricks.

Separate rooms contain tense spiral of fate
tricking naive fools to buy sacred book
which dictates belief for mindless robots
who sing hymns to praise dead god who can raise
people from death as zombies who eat brains
hiding secrets worth nothing more than clues.

Jagged little blade my assassin keeps
hidden in book of love poems for bright hour
lovers pledge loyal faith to preserve mask
of illusions chaining death to this world
which rolls down infinite abyss of calm faith
hiding secrets worth nothing more than facts.

Assemble puzzle of events to show
myth of tragic faith in gods no one sees
when the sacrificed daughter stains vast seas
red with blood of her period to transform
apples and steaks into child without wings
hiding secrets worth nothing more than names.

Each spell he chants in silent cave of shadows
reveals poems you write fail to express truth
too complex for simple image in code
that records vibrant virtual world of brains
which births monsters disguised as social heroes
hiding secrets worth nothing more than deeds.

Ten thousand blind people with broken wings
stand in bright rooms from sea to shining sea
and stutter their meaningless prophecies
to prove they understand mental ennui
though we still wait for Godot in the church
hiding secrets worth nothing more than rules.

I always work for no one but myself
transforming silent landscape of our thoughts
into monster with gentle human soul
who tries not to injure the fragile girl
when she brings apples from the Tree of Knowledge
hiding secrets worth nothing more than truths.
