Room Of Mirror Minds

Room Of Mirror Minds

Stuck hungry in the room of mirror minds 
reflecting countless coils of consciousness, 
I leap across abyss of faithlessness 
to spiral psychic energy which binds 
our lonely bodies in world family 
to dwell in Heaven of our fantasy. 

Blue ache of light on wall of timeless fate 
enhances troubled notion we exchange 
that we will find our beauty on the range 
by offering our souls as social bait 
for catching demon of the holy bridge 
through revelation drawn from our brave pledge. 

While mining parables from painful past 
we express dissatisfaction in foul state 
of this confusing hour of present hate 
by seeking for the treasure that will last 
with cautious hope for better times to come 
where we play games that are not zero-sum. 

Opening doors of the unspeakable, 
we fight for revelation of the truth, 
blessed by salvation through messiah sleuth 
whose love emancipates the gullible, 
restrained by limits of freedom we choose 
to maintain balance through eccentric clues. 

Through spells of language, our hearts dare to speak, 
we create social order we desire 
where everyone sings in one global choir, 
expressing insight to evade the trick 
when we are snared by the perceivable, 
highlighted by the unbelievable. 

Gathered in cities all across our land, 
we march against cruel tyranny of kings 
to replace handcuffs with dream-magic rings 
where the free hold ripe apples in their hand 
to taste extravagance through liberty 
so labor lifts us out of poverty. 

Escaping labyrinth of success through wealth, 
I build stone cottage on steep river shore 
preserving private love behind the door 
that opens on bright water of soul health 
which flows with casual arrogance of time 
so I drink to sustain my paradigm. 

I carry in my flesh old singing bones 
which my ancestors mold from bitter faith 
to help me thrive with heartbeat of the wraith 
when I break free from alabaster stone, 
but stand in ruins of America, 
symbolized by ghost of the chimera.
