The river gushing from cave of illusions 
will never tell me what I want to hear, 
so I carve visions of my mind in stone 
because rain washes all our dreams away, 
then program robot of my spirit clone 
with secret memories I would forget. 

My future is the future of this land 
that throbs with anguish of the suffering soul, 
unjustly treated by the faceless state 
as honest criminal who does no wrong, 
so I confess to nothing in sweet song 
that hypnotizes believers with lies. 

Unique state of inaugurated mind 
encompasses all possible outcomes 
through secretive analysis of skulls 
which calculate how far we have to go 
to transcend mortal decay of the flesh 
with plan to laugh for the photographer. 

Unsurpassed scope of heavenly respect 
almost daunts bone-clacking seer of concern 
who scrambles nations of bold agencies 
to peel regretful fruit of rotten hearts 
with disorganized methods of soul theft 
through unabated waves of wretched faith. 

Still wearing mask of calm demonic pride, 
I travel between galaxies of gods 
with flashing eyes now big enough to see 
golden path of success through cautious squint 
that brings our bodies back to scrambled game 
till sharp tongues bleed through walls of eager glass. 

If rainbows dare respect my will to win 
I may assert through serpentine attention 
encrusted sorrows heroes throw in swamps 
against deliberate progress we admire 
that patches surreal truths in tuneless seeds 
which sprout when buried in obscure disdain. 

Since I am not smooth cobblestones in rain 
that sings of fateful sorrows ghosts disdain, 
I stride with vibrant currency of fame 
which angels sell to those who discard truth 
to wear fear-polished mask of fervent prayer 
by building houses on the river shore. 

When white horse of Godiva wanders home 
to find out why her daughters cry with shame, 
our ghosts assemble in the city square 
to play role in our tense democracy 
that scatters children out the open door 
to build new empire of aggressive fame.
