Figures Of False Truth

Figures Of False Truth

Dire signs that adumbrate social collapse 
blind hearts of men with ciphers of star code 
which isolate bodies of frantic hope 
from our incognizant roses of wrath, 
so brave men pose as figures of false truth 
who wander stranded on the psychic moon. 

Intelligent inscriptions in dead books 
reveal bland prophecies of humble deeds 
performed by heroes with arrogant seeds 
designed to charge engines of farming trucks 
despite the broken light of autumn nights 
that scrambles riddles of national fates. 

If I imagine strangers on the street 
while pondering alone in doorless house, 
weird truth beats crow wings that excites the clown 
who conjures demons from the wood prayer bead 
which steals courtesy from soft hands of trees 
since world economy is based on bees. 

Savage powers at parties of the rich 
reclaim social machine of money games 
contrived by mad god of the River Thames 
who spends all day painting his picket fence 
to prove the universe of measured time 
derives from laughter of the selfless mime. 

White moon that gleams old words on river shore 
explains that every star I see in gloom, 
which scribes sacred maps on walls of my room, 
burned out long before my spirit was born, 
so when she rings the doorbell of my heart 
I buy one pear from her rickety cart. 

Unnoticed references that age each hour 
appear from swirling sea of honesty 
as brave leviathan with crystal key 
which opens huge door of my mental tower 
with unexpected passion that love feigns 
to order waves of thoughts in tangled lines. 

Since Death teaches me art of minstrelsy, 
I sing conceptual hymns of wounded souls 
who writhe as serpents in innocent wells, 
therefore men must learn art of chivalry 
from gallant Cave Bear, tamed by Socrates, 
so they can rule their empire colonies. 

Folk music from the vinyl record chinks 
with earnest passion of the suffering man 
about how life flows swift as hour-glass sand 
in vain attempt to counter social jinx 
cast with mute fear by figures of false truth 
who seek divine answers in mundane math.
