When I follow the hawk to the waste land, 
where thousands of visionaries have gone 
to find Tiresias in Cave of Dreams, 
I discover buried in sands of time 
true Lyre of Mercury by Well of Odin 
where mermaid bones gleam in the blazing sun. 

Now millions of children with broken phones, 
who want to sing with bold prophetic voice, 
follow the Piped Piper of Avalon, 
while I sit by the Burning Bush of Faith 
high on desolate slopes of Mount Takoma 
and strum the Lyre of Mercury with rapture. 

From Temple of Apollo on the summit 
I see lost children of the fallen empire 
crawl among tangled weeds of Wonderland 
to find the secret Key of Vatic Wisdom 
while lusty Fame chooses with magic wand 
the most glamorous poets as acolytes. 

Dressed in fancy robes of commercial glamor, 
they follow Fame in prestigious parade, 
climbing bowed heads on Stairs of Legacy 
before the crowd that clamors to join in, 
and feast on cakes of sugar-coated praise 
in glittering mirrored Hall of Narcissus. 

Escaping glamorous Court of the Word King 
where the Favored Ones network to gain power, 
I leave grand Castle of the Holy Book, 
past marble idols of the Famous Seers, 
and tread Invisible Trail of the Truth 
to secret cave where Tiresias dwells. 

Sitting on lotus flower in pool of tears, 
I meditate by chanting spell of light 
while Tiresias gathers lightning sphere 
to channel cosmic energy of truth 
and generates virtual model of Earth 
that chronicles whole human history. 

From spirit egg that flashes divine light 
enormous gods composed of human souls 
emerge as characters of epic tales 
whose masks embody social energies 
to perform roles in dramatic events 
in culture clash between conceptual gods. 

Humans embody social energies 
to replay ancient dramas for control 
through clash of Titans in the cosmic war 
that Jupiter and Jesus ever wage 
between democracy and tyranny 
till we die and leave the stage for new gods.
