Limping Toward Heaven

Reborn on Earth as Jesus Jupiter, 
assigned by Jove to guard the Holy Grail, 
I wear computer mask of Lucifer 
to play my role as prophet in Dream Tower 
who studies psychic riddle of Brain Flower 
while limping toward Heaven with Book of Ghosts. 

Still crazy after years of wandering woke 
on quest to find lost sword Excalibur, 
I give star-jeweled crown to Guinevere 
with pledge to maintain world democracy 
in holy crusade against tyranny 
while limping toward Heaven with Sword of Right. 

Awake from timeless dream as Sirius, 
startled by weird beauty of this strange world, 
I emerge from bottomless Well of Light 
to channel Sibyl Soul of Melusine 
so I can calculate when empires fall 
while limping toward Heaven with Scales of Truth. 

Alert with Wand of Zambor in my heart 
as Watcher in Tower of the God Eye, 
I find Rocket Boots that Charlemagne wore 
so I can fly with Wings of Icarus 
above sprawling cities of Zathamar 
while limping toward Heaven with Skull of God. 

Shocked by return of Satan on world stage 
disguised as presidents of super-states, 
I carry Lyre of Mercury with care 
to sing dire prophecies on city streets 
with Voice of Cassandra no one can hear 
while limping toward Heaven with Harp of Hope. 

Trained by Orpheus to lead refugees 
from war-torn lands to Elysian Fields, 
I ask shy Ophelia to marry me 
so she bakes large turkey and pumpkin pie 
when we celebrate Thanksgiving in Hell 
while limping toward Heaven with Horn of Fate. 

Reborn from Ishtar as Astarius, 
bright incarnation of the Morning Star, 
I rebuild Empire of Meroveus 
which I name for Mother Gothinia 
and rule from Fruit Garden of Scythia 
while limping toward Heaven with Bow of Faith. 

Planting apple seeds on lush river shores 
while riding Pegasus on Wings of Wind, 
I learn to build wheeled cart from Helius 
then drive west to Cave of Solaria 
with soul of Phoebus singing in my heart 
while limping toward Heaven through Maze of Myths.
