Cruel Monsters We Defeat

How massively the aching heart knows why
Death laughs long at our pathetic attempts
to shore dignity against ruins of truth
half more bound to cracking fall of our fate
since we always return to the cold hearth
where we first heard tales of their fantastic deeds.
Strange roads that lead beyond our broken walls
explain contempt for arrogance of hope
that we will rise above dire situations
faster than lightning cuts with haughty words
to prove we know how seeds explode from dirt
transforming rotten brains into ripe fruit.
What truths we must find in eccentric ways
that urge lives of animals to express
aggressive lust to copulate and die
consuming bloody meat of bodies torn
by hunger to dominate naked world
of rancid energy we swallow down.
Three days I crouch in rotten tree of bees
while snarling wolves wait in flashes of rain
for me to fall from heaven of false hope
so they consume blind sorrow of despair
that leaves me naked in bleak ocean winds
till hour I discover my secret name.
Four hundred million years of evolution
wind tight in tense coils of my muscled soul
to wake each memory they fought against death
in rapid race across sharp rocks of horror
and grasp angry wind of harsh retribution
to fight death and rip out his lusting heart.
Tense on jagged rocks of spirit salvation
I still stand firm against cold blustering wind
to glare in eyes of hunger for despair
till snarling demon backs away in fright
and licks my palm so we become best friends
as ape and wolf explore waste land of hope.
What sacred truths of death and love now shine
seething beneath savage surface of nature
which reveal patterns of energy we rein
to harness hostile hunger for our gain
as we control impulses to attack
and glide more cautious through harsh wilderness.
The ape and wolf evolve to man and dog
who hunt hostile wilderness in one pack
to fight reptile demons in sweltering caves
then roast them over flames on beach of war
to celebrate our conquest of this world,
so we become cruel monsters we defeat.
