Yellow Snake Of Truth

Dredged up from the past, strange memories, 
strangers recorded in ambiguous riddles, 
crawl wounded on hot highway of ambition, 
and latch their bodies with obsessive lust 
to pulsing antivirus of my brain 
where they plant seeds that reprogram my mind. 

Floating in colonial skyscape of hope, 
dispersed across vastness of timeless thought, 
I wear silver mask of the wise Ungod 
to play Music of the Spheres on bone lyre 
that shakes Poisoned Apple loose from my brain 
so I become the Yellow Snake of Truth. 

Brewing gloom in white hot Cauldron of Faith, 
with tears of angels, and mushrooms that sprout 
from corpses of gods men worship no more, 
I wear Mask of Folly carved from glass skull 
of the newest devil to walk the Earth 
who claws diamonds from ghost mountains of fear. 

When the Maimed King, still slouching on gold throne 
of obsolete power, clutches Holy Grail 
he stole from cracked Tomb of the Unknown savior, 
I sweep back Curtain of Uncertainty 
to reveal Faith Beggars wearing gray suits 
who preach about salvation of the vampire. 

Renamed Pilgrim of the Apocalypse, 
I react with wild laughter of King Lear 
against mechanical sterility 
of our world industrial society, 
then design weird blueprint to resurrect 
Zarathia from ruins of America. 

I bow with reverence of honest respect 
before Supreme Being of the One-Eyed Sun 
whose radiant light of life illuminates 
our spinning Earth with atoms of desire, 
since, unmoved by Eight Winds of Providence, 
he floats serenely on Lotus of Love. 

As latest descendant of Melkhizath, 
whose spirit animates my heart with faith, 
I contemplate Wyrd of our universe, 
which is the only version that exists 
out of all the possible variations 
mirrored by fractals of the multiverse. 

Still echoing softly in Cage of Voices, 
prophecies of the Sibyl with gold eyes 
shatter illusions of national pride 
because Spirit of Odin, bold Lightning-Caster, 
is worshipped by people of America, 
terrified of the Yellow Snake of Truth.
