God We Strive To Be

Now is the hour to readjust my brain
so I perceive electric soul of time
that laughs with shimmer of the waterfall
about sad suffering of the human soul
who kneels and prays to empty sky of blue
at sudden sorrow of the swirling snow.
I wonder if my mother is alive,
safe in walled haven of her wounded heart,
because I find words scattered on the floor
that she was just arranging with her mind
in ever-changing puzzle of false faith
defined by strangest questions children ask.
Through random splats of red paint on the wall,
which accidentally form math formulas
our brains employ to calculate how far
we wander lost in wilderness of lies,
my eyes assert new meaning of old truth
by weaving constellations from bright tears.
Now that the long-established way of things,
that formed foundation of our politics
collapses into crimes of haughty pride,
we gather in large crowd of shocked surprise
to reassert faith in grand principles
that govern how we should cooperate.
Or else time may unclock our firm beliefs
that we held sacred since the dawn of time
at slow unravelling of solemn scenes
when wingless angels wearing jeweled crowns
shall deconstruct assumptions we hold dear
to prove that ocean waves know how hearts feel.
Dispersed by humble wind of bitter fame,
our tight-knit tribe of honest carpenters
sails ships of sorrow to the Promised Land
where we build empire of the nuclear bomb
that causes lizard of the sunless sea
to rise as Godzilla, new god of Earth.
Each Sunday at flash of the rising sun
we gather on the ocean shore of faith
to sing hymns to fierce monster of the deep
till hungry dinosaur evolves its form
to clucking chicken that provides fresh eggs
we eat for breakfast with orange juice and toast.
If I succeed in program of respect
to readjust perception of my brain,
I may see face of God in silver clouds
that glimmer with divine agility
which emanates from every human heart
so we become the God we strive to be.

Wander With Bohemian Heart
© Surazeus
2026 09 19
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.

Bodiless Gods Of Starlight
© Surazeus

He strives to leave the landscape of his failure
and map the ancient cities of his loss
where he may join the people of his tribe
scattered far from valley of their first dream
so they may gather by the lake of hope
and become bodiless gods of starlight.
He has not yet heard song of river stones
reveal true way to navigate the world
through maze of thriving cities full of hope
where shining people drive faith-engined cars
beneath cold shadow of cathedral towers
that tear the bloody clouds of Heaven gaped.
Scored by no tribal monarch of the air,
his words strike hard uncounted chords of truth
to restir latent power, tangled tight
with questions of despair no fool would ask
against obstructing laws for tragic fate
he gambles to attain key to the gate.
Brave angelus of wars no state would fight,
he strides with courage over signless roads
with heart stuffed full of dire prophetic scrolls
that terrify cruel tyrants in glass halls
because their formulas of quiet truth
unravel matrix of the honest heart.
Abandoned cross of tyranny, stilled stained
with blood of innocence two thousand years,
looms eerie over vast metropolis
where hungry people strive to wrestle fear,
aghast at equal verdict death declares
against all living creatures of the world.
If he dares organize poor working folk
to break from chains of cultic faith with pride,
despite untraced integrity time twists
through fractured clocks of misery-measured faith,
he might lead brave uprising of the lost
to retake paradise from king of lies.
Inside high broken tower of regret,
where silent knells expand scope of his mind,
he writes antiphonal scriptures for faith
that sprouts from rotting corpses of cruel gods
to show how steep encroachments of desire
allow our tangled souls to reclaim hope.
Stuck in cathedrals of calcified grief,
as fools who worship Sovereign of Dust,
we become bodiless gods of starlight
each hour we gather on the river shore
to chant encyclicals of bitter faith
with heart-born liturgy of silent rage.

Ideal Persona I would Play
© Surazeus

Bright in glass constellation of my heart,
transcendent god, who has never been real
beyond imagination of wild priests
drunk on wine from mushrooms of ecstasy,
reveals ideal persona I would play
to maintain dignity of daily life.
My heart pours torrents of expansive words,
unmeasured by attentive spate of faith,
which conjure strangers who steal hungry trees,
to see enormous city towers gleam
in evening clouds that loom above deep vales
where surfaces of pools reveal our eyes.
Adorned with jewels of fantastic truth,
my heart attempts in vain to calculate
ethereal breath of angels in fruit trees
whose lust embodies serpents with gold eyes
who tease me with delicious energy
to think I may achieve eternal life.
Weird thoughts of wisdom, I untwist from light,
crawl through dim shadow of my aching flesh
so I pretend I am First Man of Time
commissioned by Cloud-Ghost to name all things
that exist within bounds of time and space
because they glow beyond mask of my face.
As daughter of Tiresias, I guard
Gates of Eden with spear Longinus carved
to catch the dragon falling from rain clouds
disguised as glorious angel with nine eyes
who teaches me how to fly the airplane
so I can make more accurate map of Earth.
Though serpent of the apple tree retains
extensive sets of books blind devils write,
she dares reveal to me, calm mortal fool,
collective wisdom of prophets and seers
whose bones are letters of riddles we share
while feasting on hamburgers by the lake.
Long wick of my temporary heart glows
with timeless grace of pure immortal flame
which fills my heart with long-unspoken spells
that fly as ravens from my open mouth
when I campaign for President of Earth
while seeking treasure in Elysian Fields.
Whole in glass constellation of my brain,
my soul accepts its temporary state
as mortal body of hungry desires
animated by immortal gene soul
through chaos bound in limits of my being,
so I want to tell you about my love.

Code of Cassandra
© Surazeus
2026 08 23
To live well in this crazy world of lives
I follow Code of Cassandra with care
by writing riddles of satiric faith
that guide my way in maze of clashing wills
when I attempt to navigate with class
opposing forces of partisan pride.
I will never explain arcane details
that compose Code of Cassandra with keys
designed to unlock doors of potent facts
essential to assemble from word gears
financial engine of social exchange
by which we journey to the Promised Land.
Dynamic order of exotic scale
now blueprints Code of Cassandra as guide
for angels to construct our new world view
providing mental tools of clever sight
for every human mind to analyze
state of the world with honest strategies.
If we decide with hope to certify
patterns in Code of Cassandra that ply
melodious vibes of nominal respect,
we should administer objective laws
designed to monitor momentous growth
as brave liaison to Queen Liberty.
Since children dancing on the broken door
intimate Code of Cassandra reveals
logistic course of learning based on gems,
we might orchestrate stoic privacy
for every person who renders dream aid
to faceless ghosts with severe innocence.
Permission to transcend our fragile souls,
allowed by Code of Cassandra with drive
that motivates our ploy for excellence,
alarms soul-controlling faction of fools
who try to block our most lucrative deals
when we found another franchise of faith.
Module of lifetime mortgages entraps
normalized Code of Cassandra with proof
we now are simple singers on lit stage
expressing hidden angst of human hearts
who struggle to succeed against all odds
since the system is rigged against false faith.
Since vital flash of my spirit suggests
schedule for Code of Cassandra to spool
complex networks of interacting minds
spread across the spectrum of divine types,
I analyze intensity of hope
to reprogram how my brain perceives you.
