Puzzle Of My Creed

Nothing says crazy like the way cows laugh 
at foibles of human contests for power 
based on who can best tame the fierce giraffe 
on which he rides to possess the star tower 
then crash pearly gates of Jerusalem, 
yet still I rule ghosts of Elysium. 

Mad prophet of the modern nuclear age 
proclaims prophecies through the radio 
about the woman who appears on stage 
to build world empire from lush Idaho 
in bid to equalize all states of mind 
since no one seems to know how to be kind. 

We sell each other trinkets of dream truth 
to fuel economic growth for our state 
so well-organized by messiah sleuth 
who reads Tarot cards to program our fate 
that helps us prosper till the end of time 
when the world transforms with the charming chime. 

Assertive progress to express the self 
diverts attention of prophetic seers 
who code weird characters for the book shelf 
through revolution against puppeteers 
despite acceptance of faith in the Lord 
who conquers the world with my bloody sword. 

Through psychic breath of distant ringing bells 
I clear space wide around my dream-framed soul 
for morphing pain with ghosts of secret wells 
so bitter wisdom programs my new role 
which I perform in tower by the lake 
to prove my persona is me, yet fake. 

Projective spell of words that weave world view 
swells whole organic body from my brain 
which I sustain by performing virtue 
based on tragic tales in which tyrants gain 
social power over gullible fools 
who fight to dismantle our public schools. 

When I discover mystery of the heart 
at crossroads of my senses bound by hope, 
I record my quest on confusing chart 
that teaches my followers how to cope 
with disappointment that every soul dies 
so our memories vanish from our eyes. 

This complicated virtual world of life 
which I program from all my memories, 
that keys proverbs for managing harsh strife, 
dissipates to nothing all truths and lies 
except what I record in spells you read 
in project to paint puzzle of my creed.
