Genetic Code Of Strife

Genetic Code Of Strife

Framed by obvious state of nothingness, 
turtles journey with relentless attention 
across never-changing landscape of dreams 
to find primal pond of their memories 
where they may meditate on the Moon God 
whose timeless face shines down at us from Heaven. 

Despite this extraordinary search 
for private paradise in the waste land, 
my turtle soul navigates global myths 
designed by people grasping for state power 
to misdirect my self-improvement journey 
away from achievement of divine status. 

I wake from endless dream of aching hope 
to analyze progress through maze of myths, 
and in Arcadia I am God reborn 
as mortal creature with conscious desire 
who strives to actualize that ideal state 
inherent through genetic code of strife. 

Whether I wear mask of Jesus or Zeus 
as frame of reference by which I progress 
to program how my brain perceives the world, 
I redesign conceptual character 
which I perform in theater of life 
to become Surazeus, my true self. 

Assigned as replicant of Jupiter 
by acute compassion of Artemis, 
I mold intense energy of my soul 
to morph from idol into demigod, 
urged by rebel streak of Lucifer 
to leap over high walls of paradise. 

These ancient energies of divine souls, 
that fuel aggressive focus of respect 
for strict investigation of my mind 
to comprehend true nature of all things, 
direct attention of clear scrutiny 
to build virtual globe of my new world view. 

Since people see statue of Jupiter 
embodied in my elder bearded face, 
incarnate from fountain idol of stone, 
they readjust performance of their role 
in harmony with unseen social rules 
to be wary of lightning in my eyes. 

Yet I just want to consume grilled beef steak 
with glass of tannic red wine from Bordeaux 
while Clara Cho in scarlet silk gown plays 
piano concerto composed by Brahms 
in glass-cube cafe by the star-gold river 
as you smile with pleasure at being alive.
