Mad Ghost Of Truth

The meadows of sorrow are full of owls 
who talk about unfolding spell of hope 
that leads the wanderers of broken doors 
forever lost in valley of glass skulls 
that transform into cameras of lust 
with which we photograph mad ghost of truth. 

Tall wheat that shimmers in the field of lies 
decides not to be baked into whole bread 
which feeds five million refugees of war 
who flee from mocking laughter of the gun 
to conquer wilderness of fallen gods 
with great army lead by mad ghost of truth. 

At revelation of the shattered moon 
love worries about children without eyes 
who gather in the city park at dawn 
to throw chess pieces in the river mud 
till God accepts their newest testament 
as binding contract from mad ghost of truth. 

The old woman selling small apple pies 
tells everyone to be kind to themselves 
but they all run randomly on highways 
where empty semitrucks race to the moon 
to find the chicken god with thirty wings 
deep-fried and consumed by mad ghost of truth. 

On head of fallen Colossus we stand 
to pledge allegiance to the starless flag 
which angels follow to conquer the world 
till every protestor against the king 
has been stomped into silence of despair 
despite futile prayers to mad ghost of truth. 

Preaching exegesis through fairytales 
that depict how the good men always lose, 
Orpheus declares with confident bluff 
that every man must kneel before the sky 
to accept their fate decreed by the stars, 
defied with courage by mad ghost of truth. 

Each new fool who joins the Argonaut Team 
brings secret treasure of their darkest heart 
as sacrifice they must offer to gain 
admittance to the weird society 
which rules the world with arcane code of hymns 
programmed from our dreams by mad ghost of truth. 

Because he risks his life for amnesty 
embodied by faith of the flying fish, 
Orpheus rows frail boat across the sea 
to climb rugged hills on gold Isle of Skye 
where Skythe roasts fish in her secret cave 
with respect to honor mad ghost of truth.
