Electric Horse of Fame

Electric Horse of Fame

The subtle difference between pears and guns 
confounds mind of the robot with blue stones 
when children chase electric horse of fame 
to sell his glass skull in the market place 
where Death keeps watch on pyramid of eyes, 
commissioned to judge business arguments. 

Addicted to sweet beauty of red clouds, 
spies leap across neurodivergent sky 
with tangled concepts wrapped in riddled jokes 
disguised as magic formulas of hope 
which angry people throw from bridge of tears 
till all our treasures sink into green gloom. 

Slouched in his office without telephones, 
grim clown who plays messiah on world stage 
rants rabidly about invading hordes 
who steal doors from chapels of mushroom brains 
when gangs of secret police arrest teachers 
who sing about our land of liberty. 

Laughing scissors in hands of the sad fool, 
who prances on edge of the paper tower, 
slice contracts into eyeless dolls of greed 
that decorate nuclear missiles of love 
before soul adjustment requires fake cash 
to count as profit from war refugees. 

Almost forgotten by their worshippers, 
faceless gods, who pay prophets to invent 
tales of miracles they never perform, 
drive trucks on highways around hopping toads 
whose hurricane eyes hypnotize believers 
with fantasies of true America. 

Gathered in communes on old failing farms, 
office workers, who analyzed spreadsheets 
with programmed computers to calculate wealth, 
plant corn and squash with bleeding hands of faith 
after their empire collapses in debt 
because salary thieves play golf all day. 

While our grand world view crumbles into lies 
that we are heirs to noble principles 
based on justice and liberty for all, 
we work together on the country farm 
to rebuild commercial base of exchange 
connecting communities with brave need. 

Though King Midas destroys America 
by stealing taxes from our treasury, 
Odin rides on electric horse of fame 
to restore stature of democracy 
so everyone who shares this fertile land 
creates their version of Heaven on Earth.
