State Of White Privilege

The white horse of social analysis 
gallops across the plain of singing ghosts 
so Hercules wrestles river of snakes 
to cleanse the American halls of power 
swamped by the greed of oligarchic clowns 
who steal keys to the kingdom from dead Christ. 

The white horse of conceptual innuendo 
likes to turn humans on to the starlight 
so we are awed by mystery of the Eye 
that always seems to watch us from the sky 
till we reverse the mask we choose to wear 
as mirror that reflects psychology. 

The white horse of the psychic manifesto 
presents the moon goddess in Silver Cloud, 
her starship she flies over city maze 
to beam up holy warriors of the heart 
who join her justice squad to fight the power 
that legislates regressive policies. 

The white horse of mental paralysis 
deals cards on the gambling table of faith 
to cheat the clown who thinks he owns the world 
by prancing on the stage with childish glee, 
distracting us so he can steal the key 
that opens pearly gates of paradise. 

The white horse from the lake of Tantalus 
gives fruit he stole from sacred Tree of Life 
to everyone who walks the signless road 
on quest to find the Ring of Zathamar 
which gives the bearer weird ability 
to perceive the whole flow of history. 

The white horse of the Queen of Mexico 
who tours along the Mississippi River 
describes how Mercury designed the lyre 
from rib cage of the haughty dinosaur 
who signs executive orders all day 
while helicopters and airplanes collide. 

The white horse of the golden piccolo, 
prancing down Champs-Elysees Avenue, 
considers why the theater is dead 
though Brecht and Ibsen live inside our head 
with tales of haunted heroines who fight 
for right to control their reproductive choices. 

The white horse of oneiric calculus 
casts wicked spell of multicultural rites 
which we gather at witching hour of night 
to perform against regime of King Midas 
whose greedy touch turns everything to junk 
that bankrupts the state of white privilege.
