Oppressive Moral Laws

Oppressive Moral Laws

Too bad for how the rolling stone decides 
to save her blind mother from the cute wolf 
as if her skull were watermelon soft, 
honest enough to ask where God abides 
down south on the sultry shore of the gulf 
where curling souls of lonely people waft. 

Despite how often cows fly to the moon 
when people put their parents growing old 
in nursing homes to hide sorrow of time, 
the angry priest plays new heartbreaking tune 
to woo the nun who wears bright mask of gold 
while cleansing souls of murderers from grime. 

Hand in hand Adam and Yangasha stroll 
Garden of Peaches on lush Mount Penglai 
past waterfall formed from tears of the dead, 
then ask Yeomra, who rules in Diyu Cave, 
why Lakshmi and Pluto, who fell in love, 
are getting punished for selling young orphans. 

Ardent attention to details of fate 
proves Lucifer understands how effects 
result as consequence of unseen cause 
while he bikes parking lot to Church of Hate 
where saints who attempt to hide their defects 
adjudicate oppressive moral laws. 

Trapped by delicate fabric of bird song, 
Innocent Eve in gown of maple leaves 
steals pears from trees in Garden of Despair, 
but, as she gazes with awe far too long 
at beauty of May when everyone grieves, 
she decides it costs her too much to care. 

This might just be the right time to require 
dispassionate observer of the truth 
to clean toxic waste land of arrogance, 
though some just want to sing in the world choir 
directed by the new messiah sleuth 
without gaining power from innocence. 

Almost qualified now to play the role 
assigned to me by Fate to question why 
brave heroes go where angels fear to tread, 
I proudly surf huge political wave 
to sermon where I am blessed by the dove 
because approval activates endorphins. 

I know the truth is buried here somewhere, 
under the ground where the blue peafowl struts, 
so when cosmic herald returns from Hell 
and leads uprising to make justice fair, 
we shall emerge from meditation huts 
to fight for truth at ringing of the bell.
