Wander With Bohemian Heart

Now that we have, for eighty stringent years, 
passed our souls through the thousand darknesses 
of death-bringing talk by oppressive thieves, 
we sing again with radioactive faith 
by leaping on Icarian wings of joy 
to fall with grace of humble dignity. 

With analytic pliers of respect, 
which I forged from contempt for trickery, 
I sing about the tragic fate of men 
who live by principles of honesty 
so I may wander with Bohemian heart 
as minstrel transgressing borders of words. 

Still stranded in imperium of the past, 
lost immigrants from many diverse lands 
dwell peacefully as one great tribe of souls 
within expansive paradise of love, 
so many languages of babbling hope 
merge into universal tongue of faith. 

We shall not mortgage time without death-pledge 
against collapse of social boundaries 
which trap our bodies in addressless homes 
in vast suburban maze of fear-locked doors 
where endless saga of death from despair 
beats against windows that frame flashing trees. 

When tyrant in crumbling castle of pride 
obliterates borders of social rules, 
he tries to absorb dramas of our lives 
from family home to prison of the state 
when he preaches sermon of our great land 
through faceless voice on the harsh radio. 

Annexed to system of the social game, 
brave sovereignty of my body is bound 
by legal liens of state identity 
when grim enforcers of cruel tyranny 
violate personal space of wounded hearts 
through psychic domination of contempt. 

Though libertarian impulse of our minds 
are all assimilated in grand state, 
ruled by huge invisible cloud god 
who wields nuclear missiles as thunderbolts, 
we hide as blind ghosts in our House of Being, 
shrouded by smoke of never-spoken words. 

Obsessive guilt of my heart-tortured tongue 
transforms into fierce dragon of respect 
escaping murky pool of wordless rage 
when bitter tyrant strutting in contempt 
destroys grand temple of the shining god 
whose ghost fades into stark light of the moon.
