Adam Living In America

Adam Living In America

With simple photo of the beautiful moon 
he proves his legal right to live for truth, 
yet every human on this spinning Earth 
must live alone with passion of their heart 
as keeper of their divine inner light 
that glows in darkness of uncertain times. 

Transcendent oneness of all human souls 
weaves all our memories of primeval pain 
in global matrix of morals that binds 
our lonely minds with world religious faith 
that something of our selves may live forever, 
though we all vanish to nothing at death. 

When he commits to theory of desire 
through creative action of hungry hands 
based on motivation of finite hearts, 
he builds eternal Heaven of delight 
on ever-shifting foundations of change 
which constitutes material forms we are. 

Yet he walks crowded streets of Gotham City 
with subtle passion not quite consonant 
in tune with vast community of ghosts 
as nameless persons haunting empty homes 
though he attempts to conceive in his mind 
integral oneness of humanity. 

As Adam living in America 
he wanders homeless crowded city streets 
with no great purpose for his right to live 
except to treasure pain of suffering 
that motivates his rise from grave of fear 
to search for paradise no longer there. 

More like bright Lucifer with shining heart 
who fell from grace in the company force 
for failing to achieve projected profits, 
drunk Adam sits before the bankrupt bank 
to beg for dollars from the not-yet fired 
who hurry past to join their friends for drinks. 

While watching nameless strangers racing past, 
he feels at one with all humanity 
with aching loneliness of grim despair 
till, slinking with lean cats in alleyways, 
he argues with the crippled ballerina 
about which movie star deserves the prize. 

Alive in shimmer of the winter sun, 
old bearded Adam in the Evening Land 
declares intention to just be himself, 
awake with primal passion of that god 
who once strolled Earth with confident desire, 
then lies down with dreariness of his grief.
