Clarion Call Of Liberty

Clarion Call Of Liberty

From inexhaustible stream of dark thoughts 
strange mysteries of my blood spring as light 
in dazzling fashion through innocent faith 
that warns my heart with claxon flash of hope 
compounding wild attention we exchange 
about unseen danger clouding my eyes. 

With psychic readiness of bleeding hearts 
I hurl assertive thoughts of liberty 
at sharp-eyed memory on taut hawk wings 
while sweeping temple porch of dusty fears, 
yet pause to touch electric beams of light 
that pierce my heart with arrogant despair. 

Based on hypothesis that death is final, 
I play the clueless jester of despair 
by prancing around idol of your god 
which glares with rage at hungry immigrants 
who bow before the holy mannequin 
and pray for shortcut to the Promised Land. 

I never forget who I want to be 
though I wander aimlessly on the beach 
to bury my feelings of hope and fear 
in wave-polished sand of the Anywhere 
which remain entrenched as mirror of fate 
that blinds my eyes to road I must advance. 

Every day seems like the last day of time 
when all that is real crumbles into sand 
and bright illusions of our nation-state 
dissipate into delusions of grandeur 
propagated by enchantment of hope 
that sucks our blood to fuel its oppression. 

Cruel lies, deceivers shout in stadiums 
filled with believers who scream in despair 
that all their long-cherished beliefs are false, 
vanish in searing flames of fragile pride 
when their world view collapses into fables 
and leaves them stumbling mute on storm-torn beach. 

When grand illusion of our noble nation 
collapses into fractured fantasy 
that blinds their eyes to harsh reality, 
those true believers who have lost their faith 
will hear the clarion call of Liberty 
and gather round her temple on the beach. 

Long after fever of nationalist rage, 
stoked by storm-blasting rhetoric of fear, 
dissipates in heart-calming breeze of faith, 
we will construct new world democracy 
that welcomes every breathing human home 
to share this globe that spins in void of light.
