Leisurely laughter of the unconcerned 
explodes dire misconceptions of the weak 
whose performance in game of mental stealth 
fails to convince majority of clowns 
who analyze how disease twists the mind 
to recognize the weird joke Death designed. 

We pass each other on the busy street, 
convinced we are abnormal sons of God, 
since our children slide into pool of fate 
while Dishonesty looks the other way, 
but who storms the Gates of Heaven this time 
at subtle instigation of the chime. 

Riddles solving revolutions are burned 
when the Devil tries to find out who leaked 
state secrets to the defunct Board of Wealth 
to spite the tyrant who steals jeweled crowns 
while forging deeds of ownership for land 
claimed by the leader of the marching band. 

I visit tomb of Nameless God on Crete 
with application to join Justice Squad, 
assigned by Zeus to guard the Pearly Gate 
where Daughters of the Disappeared still pray 
to Maat for justice in the psychic game 
since every dead dictator is the same. 

Each stanza composes once puzzle piece 
secret analysts assemble to seek 
obvious location of the Holy Grail, 
yet children prefer to quietly paint 
prophetic murals on walls of the bank 
destroyed each summer by the godly tank. 

Yet Nostradamus in Tower of Eyes 
hires me as young apprentice to record 
obscene prophecies of future events 
when the tyrant tries to crown himself king 
which causes people of the land to laugh 
each time he falls off the Golden Giraffe. 

I think we will never achieve world peace, 
yet still we try to paddle up the creek 
when our government is put up for sale 
by Midas whose evil ways are now quaint, 
since we have seen worse happen than we think 
when his greed causes Ship of State to sink. 

This game of prophecy played by blind spies 
is competition of the rich and bored 
which I am winning against presidents 
who must kneel and kiss my godfather ring, 
till Americans decide they had enough, 
since no one dares call out his haughty bluff.
