Bloody Cross Of Fear

Bloody Cross Of Fear

Regret cannot disturb her twisted mind 
with useless sentiment of family faith 
since she walks in shoes full of shards and nails, 
so she smiles deadly as foul mushroom wine 
which will intoxicate my heart with love 
when we kiss potently in moon-red rain. 

Assertive attitude angels teach boys 
fuels forceful domination of the Earth 
through disciplined armies of savage pride 
who march beneath the bloody cross of fear 
to conquer every land around the globe 
with noble empire of stoic despair. 

Contempt for holy hymns of ardency 
shifts psychic gears in heart of Artemis 
who races gracefully through tangled woods 
to catch frail Icarus in nursing arms 
when he falls wingless from tower of faith, 
so she cradles him on the ocean shore. 

Wild waves distribute mental energy 
through socialist program of equal rights 
when she attempts to raise him from the dead, 
but Icarus lies withered in her arms 
till Artemis weeps tears of slimy oil 
that seep into his brain with sparks of rage. 

Through contemplation of uncertainty, 
based on phantasmagoric fantasy, 
I study abstractions of mental states 
presenting interior space of the brain 
trapped in immensely huge frame of desire 
to build theology of suffering. 

Impromptu performance of the mad king, 
who imitates his jester with panache, 
shocks every watcher in the stadium 
who partakes of the shadowed agency 
for frequent collusion with faceless ghosts 
bathed in the ghastly splendor of despair. 

No frantic game, long unaccounted for, 
provides facility for scamming fools 
better than cathedral of singing skulls 
where fervid believers in the Ungod 
harass rhapsodic agents of the seer 
who study wisdom of the sufferer. 

Awake with morbid condition of lust 
compiled by auditory nerves of hope, 
I play stringed instrument of Mercury 
with eerie notes that should enchant the soul, 
but everyone on Earth is deaf to truth 
so they drown in the sea of hungry greed.
