Key To The Afterlife Hoax

I want to straighten out this twisted world 
with love and laughter flowing from our hearts 
through inspired guidance of the cosmic herald 
who maps our noble quest on psychic charts, 
but social conflict entangles our souls 
as we compose our archetypal roles. 

Advancing on our mythotropic path 
to generate god souls from mortal minds, 
we clash in cosmic tornado of wrath 
which multiplies personality kinds 
who reflect psychic energy we beam 
to play theater of absurd we dream. 

So Aurora can counterbalance Eve 
to crown herself with laurel wreath of power 
Hyperion displaces Adam to grieve 
for Rapunzel trapped in the crumbling tower 
since after Orpheus returns from Hell 
he woos Ophelia by Hippocrene well. 

Gliding over Middle-Earth on glass wings, 
Icarus searches for Juliet to save, 
but Earendil forges fear into rings 
while Romeo mines jewels from demon caves, 
because every god stuck in the wrong play 
waits for Tiresias to show them the way. 

Blind with manic rage of his wounded pride, 
Achilles kills good people to gain fame, 
but Odysseus returns home to his bride 
with longing to evade the martial game, 
though Aeneas is doomed to found empire 
while Jesus directs the heavenly choir. 

Each living human born from womb of hope 
hides our true self behind mask of dead god 
whose tragic success shows us how to cope 
as we strive to prove we are not some fraud 
since we grow tangled in our cosmic fate 
when we try to evade the judgment gate. 

At last on abandoned cathedral stairs 
the Mad Jester, who rules our world with jokes, 
tricks us into believing honest prayers 
will reveal key to the afterlife hoax, 
but we long to believe that after death 
we may live in Heaven with the Light Wraith. 

So I laugh with joy at absurdity 
on which we erect our national myth 
that we will be saved by divinity 
whose secret code, carved on tall monolith, 
programs our brains with illusion of truth 
that we will be saved by messiah sleuth.
