God With Watching Eye

God With Watching Eye

After I walk through hundred million doors 
in endless winding mirror maze of myths 
to study life of every human being 
who ever lived in history of our world, 
I find myself in home nobody built 
with their faces as masks in countless rooms. 

I feel my personality disperse 
around vast landscape of our spinning Earth 
as flakes of ash from burning cross of truth 
transforming into psychic butterflies 
then bloodied pages from lost fairy tales 
to morph at last in little yellow flowers. 

When I become you, I see through your eyes 
same world with different frame of reference 
so I can better comprehend your faith 
in far-fetched fantasies you think are real 
which warps how I perceive this Earth 
till I adjust distortions with plain words. 

As priest-cook with cauldrons, ladles and knives, 
I sit on flat-top pyramid all day 
among four pillars covered with grape vines 
so when people arrive with lambs or cows 
I roast meat well on altar stone of truth 
so they can feast on nourishment of faith. 

When seven warriors sent by rival priest 
leap up the pyramid with sharpened spears 
to destroy me so he can wear my crown, 
I fight them with wand of diamond on brass 
with back to stela till I kill them all, 
then girls anoint my body with fish oil. 

Anointed messiah of the sea tribe, 
I wear gold crown that imitates fish jaws 
with sharp teeth encrusted with emeralds 
as I parade before the singing crowd 
then sit on high pyramid judgment throne 
to adjudicate each case with fair justice. 

I am immortal god with watching eye 
who rules on pyramid of global power 
one thousand generations of my sons 
till priests replace the last with gold idol 
that humans worship ten thousand years more 
till I stand alone in the bleak waste land. 

Returning to my present mortal self, 
I hold American one dollar bill 
depicting pyramid with watching eye 
where mortal gods once ruled empires of men 
in wasted desert called the Holy Land, 
and weep with sorrow at paradise lost.
