Sad ghost of Alcatraz eats alphabets 
yet believes love is just like algebra 
so she asks the blind alligator why 
people pray to Nobody in the sky 
for wealth they earn by molding psychic soil 
in idols of dead gods who make us toil. 

Sad ghost of Alcatraz draws happy ghouls 
by tracing shadows of fake human souls 
that capture passion of the hungry Christ 
who sells salvation that is overpriced 
to farmers he fools with pyramid scheme 
to believe Heaven is more than his dream. 

Sad ghost of Alcatraz schemes with rich kings 
by giving them subjective magic rings 
to break trade unions and close public schools 
through readjustment of all social rules 
so they can enslave men in factories 
to generate wealth like fierce honey bees. 

Sad ghost of Alcatraz cheats on exams 
then gets rich quick through sly real estate scams 
by selling property he does not own 
till Sisyphus casts down the rolling stone 
and leads revolution of working men 
in endless civil war they never win. 

Sad ghost of Alcatraz tries to hide files 
that proves he twists the minds of juveniles 
who flee to island of the laughing owl 
to learn expression of despair through howl 
that shakes foundation of the empire state 
which traps every soul in their bitter fate. 

Sad ghost of Alcatraz climbs mountain slope 
to swim in Crater Lake of cleansing hope 
but sweet Persephone gives broken lyre 
to psychopomp smeared as religious liar 
because he proves no one returns from death 
since we are bodies sparked by divine breath. 

Sad ghost of Alcatraz considers cat 
who serves bright glory of demonic bat 
through reverent duty to the empty sky 
that shimmers bright as cobalt in his eye 
because she ponders how babies are born 
though Joshua blows loud victorious horn. 

Sad ghost of Alcatraz drinks by moonlight 
with cheerful Li Bai in the river boat 
that floats across vast galaxy of stars 
which shimmer bright as headlights of our cars 
when we drive to reunion in the park 
to meet our friends again before the dark.
