New Empire Of The Free

Now that I dwell on Fractured Rainbow Lane 
far from the center of commercial gain, 
I spend all day contemplating design 
for excavating concepts from deep mine 
that sprout soul-beaming mushrooms in my brain 
before Saturnus is forced to resign. 

Stuck in Quail Hollow with Alphabet Wolf, 
I dream of my childhood with Beowulf 
who taught me how to soften wood with steam 
to build ships for his dragon-hunting team, 
then we sail on vacation to Zar Gulf 
to search for hungry shark of self-esteem. 

Each time she calls me on the telephone, 
Minerva asks to use my Rolling Stone 
to smash false idol of the tyrant king 
who arrests anyone who dares to sing, 
but when she decides to hire my Soul Clone 
I hide through Invisibility Ring. 

Appalled by interrogation techniques, 
librarians employ to extract from freaks 
misattributed morals of strange tales, 
I map tangled webs of religious trails 
that always lead me up to sky-bright peaks 
which might explain why Cronus always fails. 

Entranced by uncanny tune of the skylark 
that echoes hypnotic tones in the ark, 
I develop with care time-honored ruse 
to protect integrity of my wise Muse 
who fries burgers for picnic in the park 
while Artemis presents the evening news. 

Inspired by noble stance that Remus takes 
allowing everyone to fish hill lakes, 
I follow him to oppose Romulus 
who chains and forces honest Sisyphus 
to build Temple of Jupiter with rakes 
who will only obey brave Tantalus. 

Spirit of Roma still shines in my heart 
ages after her empire fell apart, 
so I build temple home on river shore 
to shelter my family forever more, 
yet they sell apples from the four-wheeled cart 
while I play lyre and sing forgotten lore. 

Our noble way of life has disappeared 
just like my father Tiresias feared, 
so we journey west across the wild sea 
to establish new empire of the free, 
but our old world view keeps getting more weird 
so I hang out in sprawling Knowledge Tree.

Awash in time-swirling sea of light rays, 
I dwell woke in astrological haze, 
conditioned to respond to obstacles 
by measuring abstractive molecules 
through project to assimilate my soul 
with undulating matrix of the whole. 

Attenuated scope of consciousness, 
enclosed by ceremonial finesse, 
shields pulsing core of vibrant clemency 
with comprehensive spell of ardency 
concealed by convertible copyright 
through deformation of conceptual light. 

Amplified tone of mental furnishings 
deflects harassment of holistic zings, 
impressive with articulated jokes 
indexed by pride-inflated billing hoax 
which discombobulates my budget game 
against bottomless bureau of world fame. 

Allowed to bloom from hungry artifice 
through psychosomatic analysis, 
which denies my heart romantic access, 
I purchase franchise of fake happiness 
constrained by framework of the gourmet cry 
that cracks graphic interface of the sky. 

Archived extremity of social rules, 
based on invention of brokerage tools, 
my dreams refuse command to calculate 
certified challenge of classified fate 
against commitment of the chromosome 
to watch movies in the Pantheon dome. 

Attentive ambience in deserted church 
risks assessment of my exotic search 
for wisdom-woven expression of truth 
which I sell from pyramid-market booth 
to people wanting insurance that death 
will translate their souls to hurricane breath. 

Authorized by Ungod in the Glow Cloud 
to duplicate face of the burial shroud, 
I carve dynamic formulas of hope 
on Emerald Tablet to record weird trope 
designed to mirror special character 
framed by magnetic mask of Lucifer. 

Authentic feelings of my wounded heart 
provide dream-forged key for my fresh new start 
editing grand tales for strange magazine 
centered around reign of Empress Melusine 
whose serpentine sons rule nations of Earth 
through capital gains of spiritual worth.

If in old lost times we accelerate 
rapid analysis twisted by fate, 
our accidental angel flight through Hell 
may reveal location of the Dream Well 
teeming with ghosts of blind subconscious dead 
who want to become alive in my head. 

Traitors never honestly realize 
plowed fields exonerate word-bleeding skies 
with marble statues of bullies wearing crowns 
who subjugate theology of towns 
by building monuments of social power 
from psychic energy of the sad flower. 

Disintegration of stale social norms 
expands from rugged boulders of named forms 
to prove we never understand why stars 
spark piston engines of time-machine cars 
because I drive too fast on diamond roads 
to find sacred temples of divine toads. 

Beyond last private cove of romance plays 
my true soulmate waits in arrogant haze 
with secret book she stole from half-dead god 
that describes how to make Aaronic rod 
from writhing serpent energy of lust 
because marriage is based on mutual trust. 

Rapid expansion of our empire scope 
adjusts disbursement of religious hope 
only to those who belong to our tribe 
regardless of how they tune the world vibe 
by dancing wildly on the global stage 
based on rules Isaiah bleeds on the page. 

Startled by arrival of the blind king 
who rides the donkey while brave sirens sing, 
sweet Sibyl lectures on the pyramid 
as government office where truth is hid 
inside ripe apricot of mental code 
she gives to pilgrims bearing heavy load. 

Arrival on strange shores of nameless lands 
confuses angels who steal without hands 
because my mother hides secrets in tale 
about my father swallowed by the whale 
when he dared prophesy against the king 
who gave him invisibility ring. 

Humans learned to walk in the ocean tide 
by standing upright when the red moon cried 
so our hands are free to manipulate 
material objects bound by random fate 
because we choose by nature how to play 
joyful games of chase while blind devils pray.
