Stone Of Sisyphus

Stone Of Sisyphus

Dark brackish ocean swirls around my feet 
to ungrave corpses of the saintly dead 
who gather in churches to praise the feat 
of their great savior stuck inside their head 
as idol they project with hopeful fear 
at the tyrant whose time they pray is near. 

With old Orphean lute in my numb hands, 
which I pluck to pull life from Hadean rage, 
I roam across the crowded war-torn lands 
to find Selfless Leader on global stage 
who fights to preserve world democracy 
against oppressive greed of tyranny. 

Wild wings of angels, tossed by storms of war, 
fail to adjust fine balance of soul flares 
that swirl prime elements from terran core 
through maladjusted force of frantic prayers, 
so fearful tyrants try to project strength 
till they collapse, exhausted by contempt. 

Poseidon rises in Godzilla form 
with raging Ocean fueling his fierce fight 
against oppressors in the lightning storm 
who try to conquer all with burning light, 
which frees humanity from chains of greed 
to enforce justice with her divine creed. 

My heart so heavy from sorrows of life, 
I climb Parnassus Mountain to observe 
humanity locked in nationalist strife 
over who has the right to rule, or serve, 
then I sing prophecies for our new world 
that will be designed by the cosmic herald. 

While the people wait for Jehoshaphat 
to lead them boldly against hostile states, 
his cause is betrayed by the theocrat 
who tries to steal world crown against the Fates, 
but he leads supporters of Liberty 
who unite to defend democracy. 

When Earendil flies at the tolling bell, 
and storm clouds reveal stairway of light, 
we gather in Temple of Rivendell 
to organize fellowship for the fight 
designed to conquer cruel tyrant of hate 
whose counterfeit power will dissipate. 

Thus tall statue of gold with feet of clay, 
built by the tyrant to project his power, 
will crumble from the Stone of Sisyphus 
that smashes false foundation of his tower, 
just like Colossus toppled by weak pride, 
so the cosmic herald may then preside.
