New Vision Of My World

The agony of getting through the day
twists mental sinews of my woven brain
through hungry tension of my muscled limbs
sparked by signals that jolt my jangling nerves
so all I can think about every hour
is how my ancestors survived so long.
This endless throbbing of my tingled flesh
reminds me I am still awake as time
unravels tangled memories of my heart
to reveal how I stumbled through strange life
in spastic expression of blinding lust
to reincarnate my soul before I die.
Strange moments when I tried to express thoughts
of passionate desire to make sweet love
flash awkward embarrassment from fake words
of misinterpreted concepts thrown blank
through failure to communicate my feelings
as we stared at each other in mute confusion.
Gold flame of power glows suddenly to light
dull afternoon with vision of great fame
which flashes energy through heavy flesh
since I was sinking in numb unconcern
till glaring spark caused my heart to beat fast
so I gasp for air to rise from throbbing ennui.
I see complete drama of life I played
performed by puppets on stage of my hope
to reveal how I became who I am
while hitchhiking sea to shining sea far
beyond illusions of country and self
so I create new vision of my world.
Alone in the large crowd of silent people,
I see the nameless man perform on stage
where he speaks into magic wand of power
so microphone booms his voice in the church,
telling strange story about noble man
who sacrificed his life so we may live.
My heavy body sinks into dark Earth
so I become its spinning iron core
that causes globe to swirl around the sun
as tight spiral trajectory through space
till tendrils of lightning sparkle the sea
which causes me to awake in my brain.
Uncanny voodoo voice of shaman rings
through hollow heart of my aggressive body
to shimmer vision spells in rain of words
that glisten on shell that contains my soul
and urges me to wander through dark woods
expressing dreams to analyze the world.
I am so many people with one voice
and many voices speaking through one person
but my true spirit glows behind the mask
people perceive when they look at my face
so no one ever knows dream I create
just as I project my thoughts through their minds.
How did you find me in the sunless woods,
and how much of my lament did you hear,
so I will know how to perform my role
as public embodiment of our soul
that we all share in many different brains
since I map the way to our paradise?
My body contains forms of the whole world
and the world contains many variations
of my one body in many strange forms,
so we compete to see who dominates
game of power to control the fountain source
by teaching our children to play the game.
I was the first to walk through mountain pass
and find lush paradise beyond waste land
where people share fruit blooming free on trees
till greedy people tried to charge us fees
and decreed everyone must work with hands
to earn enough to pay for right to eat.
I stumble dizzy at the witching hour
and drift through weird illusions of desire,
now half-asleep in boat on flowing stream
to remember secrets from ancient dream
about words I sing to convey my thoughts
when we angels evolve into robots.
We transformed from fish to lizard to monkey
to man over four hundred million years,
so instead of angels of shining light
we might evolve into metal robots
to preserve our brains that generate souls
so we live forever in cyberspace.
Strange hunger gnaws at my assertive mind
to consume the stories of all mankind
so energy of their hopes motivates
my navigation through vast maze of lies
while I ascend high pyramid of fame
to rule our world with my invented name.
While floating half-asleep late afternoon
in fragile boat that bobs on sparkling stream,
I dream the bright first flash of the big bang
that flares forth to spiral in the White Whole
which nurtures conscious creatures on small globes
when I create new vision of my world.
