Absolute Knowledge Of Life

Absolute Knowledge Of Life

If pretty girls wear spiders of respect 
then handsome boys wear wolves of honesty 
so they contest to match heart with their mate 
which generates new life from tragedy 
when children spring from ashes of world war 
and run toward the angel in the dark door. 

Because my heart is crowded with the ghosts 
of people I meet on the road of life, 
I think of them with affection of hope 
that they are living somewhere in this world 
with joyful attitude of comedy, 
though illusion of our state has dissolved. 

When I strike the stone with the bat of truth 
I hurl pure diamond of being from my heart 
to resurrect the daemon of respect 
that spreads wide Phoenix wings of agony 
so I play game of life on field of hope 
by decoding text of faith with dream keys. 

With song I maintain fragile modicum 
of dream coherence through identity 
as unknown exiled son of Jupiter 
bonding my fragmented psyche in whole 
which mirrors faces of humanity 
who sing solemn hymns at tomb of my soul. 

When I wake at the wild laughter of bombs 
in unimaginable zero summer 
stuffed with knowledge from the apple of truth, 
I dance among the rubble of our nation 
to regain Absolute Knowledge of Life 
with state of wholeness forged from fear of death. 

Climbing the ancient ziggurat of Ur, 
decayed from eight thousand years of warfare, 
I reach high for utopian transcendence 
unachievable through knowledge of fate 
because my breath sends prayers to empty skies 
where no storm god watches over mankind. 

Trapped in Absolute Subjectivity 
by mind-expanding passion to know truth, 
I employ concept of anxiety 
to secure treasure of light from the cave 
where Plato and Kierkegaard still play chess 
though bombs are blasting homes in puzzled code. 

Guided by summer knowledge of my heart, 
I journey from cluttered maze of glass towers 
to luscious Green World of Elysian Fields 
and fly to knowledge from reality 
where Orlando searches for Rosalind 
to dwell in Arden of Eternity.
