Bullet words ricochet off paper masks 
in psychic spells of visionary angst 
which realigns trajectory of the globe 
straight toward black hole of innovative truth, 
revealed in long magazine articles 
to analyze the latest social trends. 

Bamboozler in the dry-cleaned business suit 
snaps whip of his red tie to lasso rage 
that billows from lie-poisoned brains of fools, 
and rides aggressive tornado of hate 
smashing vast institutions of the state 
till reinless dragon hurls him into hell. 

People seeking salvation perform tasks 
in harmony with honest sycophants 
when the Savior comes wearing radiant robe 
with rifle to kill our messiah sleuth 
through revolution of the cardinals 
because he teaches us how to be friends. 

Crushing heads of angels under steel boots, 
Dictator Clown prances on global stage 
to hypnotize his minions as mind-tools 
obedient to commands of divine fate 
that keeps them locked outside the Golden Gate 
after scamming them with ghost of the well. 

Reluctant to steal alien rocket ships, 
Sad Jester climbs Golgotha hill of skulls 
to capture bloody flag of monarchy 
through revolution of the apple tree 
when children of soldiers killed in world war 
leave Planet Earth to crocodiles and birds. 

I love to play well-tempered clavichord 
when rockets destroy hospitals and mosques 
because Blind Phoenix from wild flames of war 
emerges from harsh sufferings of our hearts 
while computer programmers design games 
that auto-generate atlas of Earth. 

Comedians in nightclubs crack clever quips 
about proud boys shooting children in schools 
to preach noble cause of state anarchy 
from home of the brave in land of the free 
till mothers cannot take it any more 
when tyrants contort the meanings of words. 

Singing solemn hymns, as the harpsichord 
broadcasts the church service from mall kiosks, 
I gesture weirdly so book in the store 
expands our consciousness of psychic charts 
within dire framework of scholastic names 
since children are our genetic rebirth.
