Heal Our Hidden Wounds

Heal Our Hidden Wounds

The proper subject for my exile dreams 
remains harsh suffering humans must endure, 
tales of courage fragile people express 
through clever jokes prophets relate on stage 
which elicits laughter from broken hearts 
to heal our hidden wounds with solemn hymns. 

Entangled spells of selfless sacrifice 
exhibit noble purpose of pure hearts 
with public deeds performed to benefit 
non-profit organizations which fund 
administrative fees to manage tasks 
designed to cite outdated empathy. 

Stuck halfway between ringing of church bells 
and rumble of truck engines before dawn, 
he calculates progress based on false worth 
procedures reflect, flushed with exercise 
minds activate through formulas of sense, 
compounding profits from veiled images. 

Reluctant to translate ornate Devilspeak, 
construed by legal double-talk to rate 
regressive health in plunging phase of shock, 
he studies deceptive analysis 
that loosens faith in miraculous cures, 
deadened by despair from relentless pain. 

So, if you get sick in America, 
prepare to endure anguish of contempt 
heaped on your head by Darwinian officials 
who sneer at weakness as badge of disgust, 
believing only the fittest survive 
relentless attack of lusting viruses. 

If you are suffering disease undeserved, 
they laugh that God has rejected your prayer 
since he will throw you away in the trash 
of genetic failures, while they achieve 
impressive feats of strength and mastery, 
favored by fate to generate new life. 

They rejoice in their superior condition, 
designed by God to rule over the weak 
with right to exploit labor of our hands, 
enriching bank accounts at our expense, 
so they sail yachts to tour the war-torn world 
while we work in their factories of need. 

Yet in our common hunt for whom to blame 
with raucous howling of demonic rage, 
we fight each other with elaborate jokes 
for who holds right by privilege of birth 
to live as puppets in my exile dream, 
and who would be erased from flash of time.
