Assertive Code Of Grace

Assertive Code Of Grace

Time fractured by assertive code of grace 
expands too far beyond calm afternoons 
to shroud lush dells in sanguine bitterness 
that widows would exchange for bowls of flour 
to fry blueberry pancakes at midnight 
for wanderers to feast without regret. 

When children of the new empire return 
from foreign lands with boxes of false dreams, 
we delegate our thinking to machines 
that throw our family photos in the trash 
after recording them in holy books 
depicting conflict between psychic queens. 

When agents of the empire shoot the moon, 
then knock at doors of loyal warriors, 
we hide our treasures behind broken doors 
to prove we worship with taxes of wheat 
the right god on the pyramid of skulls 
who pays us on holiday of his birth. 

No Christmas bells ring clear across the land 
where snow encases corpses of dead kings 
in dark deserted tombs of arrogance 
so we assemble on high mound of poles 
to dance around wild flames of innocence 
and sing of revolution against greed. 

Thirteen centuries later I extract 
skulls of great gods from fractured tombs of time 
so people of the land may see what fate 
bold time decrees with solemn certitude 
for every conscious being who walks the Earth, 
even those who proclaim themselves as gods. 

Bright angels with ten thousand star-gold eyes 
descend from glowing cloud of solitude 
to beam illusions of divine desire 
which animates my body with God Soul 
that claims state of immortality 
because I dream my Self since dawn of time. 

Alone beneath dome of the Pantheon 
I sit at Round Table of Liberty 
to reassemble world view of my brain 
that my ancestors design through each life, 
but I keep secret vision of my heart 
because I dwell in the real Heaven now. 

So I race motorboat across the lake 
and toss books of salvation in the deep 
where they transform to serpents with star eyes 
that form electric runes of cosmic spells 
which I chant to restore democracy 
on firm foundation of all human hearts.
