Navigate Our Crazy World

Navigate Our Crazy World

The road sign that always points the wrong way 
disregards decorum people expect 
from melodramatic vampire who drinks 
one hundred bottles of beer on the wall 
while singing the saddest song of all time 
to ignore dire consequence of his death. 

He wants to visit every weird landscape 
of trees across vast fields beneath wild skies 
where clouds blaze bright with timeless ecstasy 
and wind in grass explains with formulas 
why no meaning is inherent to life 
except impulse to reproduce the self. 

Every atom, that composes frail frame 
of this temporary body I am, 
once clumped in rocks and ice ten million years 
while Earth spun nearly lifeless in the void 
till shadow of my soul sprouts from starlight 
so I can sing the saddest song of love. 

With smile that beams with innocent respect 
she gives me bowl of noodles with boiled eggs 
so we eat together in our quaint home 
in tranquil happiness of global peace 
though somewhere someone is killing someone 
while we savor this Heaven we create. 

Since the falling light of the west still glows 
through words of human tales preserved in books, 
we walk with Death in crowded city streets 
to soothe the faceless people of the world 
who wander in stupor of grief and dread 
while sunlight glitters on rooftops of faith. 

Through self-asserted value of respect 
I push against illusion of despair 
down path of most resistance to expose 
horrible secrets hidden in my heart 
so I can navigate our crazy world 
on my quest to learn all about my Self. 

Stripping away his disguise with sharp laugh, 
he projects worst attributes of his heart 
on mindless robot programmed to express 
official doctrines of our police state 
regarding social danger of free will 
by wearing mask that deceives himself first. 

Emerging from the fertile ground of being 
with prime maturity of stable truth, 
he substitutes his worst brain qualities 
with programmed proverbs rooted deep in fear, 
so he adjusts the road sign the right way 
which misdirects seekers of loneliness.
