Mindless Winds Of Fate

Mindless Winds Of Fate

Our Ship of State we sail to Paradise 
is blown about by mindless winds of fate 
because we stab the one eye of his son 
who traps us in dark Cave of Consciousness, 
then boast that we are Nobody with pride 
till we are wrecked on shores of arrogance. 

When we descend to Underworld of Fear, 
souls battered hard by mindless winds of fate, 
we find ghosts of our mothers with star eyes 
who weep with broken hearts of innocence 
but try to give us apple pies to eat 
as we flee zombies of apocalypse. 

Our tall towers of economic gain, 
twisted with greed by mindless winds of fate, 
provide safe shelter with stock-market tips 
from homeless hordes of hungry refugees 
who beg for Hospitality of Zeus 
but bankers enslave them in factories. 

Our Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, 
canopy torn by mindless winds of fate, 
scatters rotten Fruit of Truth on shifting ground 
so we bend over in the glaring sun 
and fill our hearts with harvest of the Earth 
that grocery stores sell to the privileged. 

Attempting to evade designs on me 
from satires shrieked by mindless winds of fate, 
I utter surreal prophecies of truth 
composed by seers in concentration camps 
who wander undone by grand principles 
as faceless monsters on Bridge of Desire. 

We chase bright beams of moonlight in thick gloom 
to evade blasts from mindless winds of fate, 
but demons wake from long bewildered sleep 
to watch us with indifferent eyes of fear 
till they drive us to colonize the world 
with Lamp of Diogenes in our hearts. 

We who never arrive in Wonderland, 
quest obstructed by mindless winds of fate, 
should map our journey across the waste land 
where we build garden walls from bones of gods 
with mirrors that reflect our vain desires 
when flap of crow wings startle us awake. 

Excessive beauty of the broken heart, 
bruised and battered by mindless winds of fate, 
reveals strange truth we wince to understand 
that not one single scar on heart of faith 
came from our enemies, for they all came 
from people we thought loved us with respect.
