With the demotion of Prometheus
each supper the media ate liver
banked in sweet senseless relished prosperity
emptied river beds with dry leaf breezes
porked rice echoes of opportunely spent capitals
Heaven or hell; God or man
the work for two recompensed grim goals electrified plans
right as thoughts of spirit
left as stone footprints of man
a round rock without transcending destiny
the war to slaughter the rival’s portion
that double portion of power placing agony-crème
lower than the highways of gassed, automatic
shrines of ancestors departed with ritual libations
everything to kill and die for in the nihilist’s plan
To bring technology to Earth’s fullness
without ecological reason the recurrent battle
fought by Zarathustra on the higher ground
renews each day like mud men mercenary
terra cotta warriors of Yellow Empirical glint
trambling with oil sheiks over sterile financial towers
served by tamale trapped migratory liquid human assets
developed to drive psychological programming
like boats beyond ego set snares
to war with peace and peace with war
for thin, cold ethereal ideas of invention evaporate
warmer on asphalt fire ant shadows swirled
The Oceanides combat doom pale in cold hope
precious mists, rains and heaving waters
unbound waves fight the naked foe
simple and singly as silence
surrounded in a world of free cascading waves
untamed inanimate liberty arraigned
adjudged matter-conformable days
with mists, rains and raging seas struggle
a broken land sanding ashore
for man’s hours of motion run through thermodynamics
chaste storm winds and glacial ice
fade fast to melt in oxygenless gloom
without life or wind a flat polar ice fired
communications off of a non-corporate free-world’s dispirited opinion
between hydrogen and oxygen bond runes
2000 years from the crucifixion anniversaries set desks
continuing transcending dreams
a priesthood of believer's master may be returning soon.
