Blind Eyes Of God

Blind Eyes Of God

When forest of my sorrow overwhelms 
street of public responsibility 
with cries of wild creatures searching for love, 
I will go when the green traffic light gleams 
stranger than eye of the dragon that sings 
beneath dark ocean waves of memories. 

I cannot find wet street of my first vision, 
yet street lamps lead me to abandoned church 
where I catch raindrops from blind eyes of God 
that ring with sound of silence in the gloom 
till I convert saddest tune of my heart 
to solemn hymn I sing before I die. 

Though I traversed the waste land long ago 
to map the signless roads of everywhere 
that lead to castle on Cliffs of Despair, 
I carry sand of ghost-contriving words 
which once formed skull and lyre of Orpheus 
in leather bag with Ring of the Star Eye. 

When I left my home and my family 
I journeyed east to flee the Promised Land 
where my ancestors came in wagon trains 
to find the secret of the Holy Grail 
which shines in hands of the woman I love 
so we raise children in safe zone of our home. 

This story seems to be about my trip 
through the endless maze of America 
built on the ruins of Britain and Rome, 
but I see history of humanity 
swirl in tides of ambition and despair 
as empires rise and fall in waves of change. 

Since I am now too far from Helicon, 
and Parnassus is way beyond my reach, 
I climb Takoma, Mountain of my Muse, 
to see how far from sea to shining sea 
Empire of Anglonesia in my heart 
crowns northern hemisphere of spinning Earth. 

When rogue gangsters in heart of darkness build 
private armies of warriors from lost tribes, 
kings who rule systems of state violence 
send assassins to slay the tyrant bull 
in religious ritual of sacrifice 
that props power through apocalypse now. 

At darkest hour the Hidden Dragon stirs 
beneath dark ocean waves of memories, 
and, when he grasps fruit of the Golden Bough, 
will slay the antichrist to cleanse our hearts 
to dwell in United Nations of Earth 
with Justice and Liberty for all.
