Your Television Screen
Angeliad of Surazeus

Closing his eyes and trusting Mind Force
Buddha turns real steering Wheel of Time
driving juggernaut on Nirvana streets
racing crowded American highways fast
in church and out your television screen.

Inviting his brother to banquet of peace
Set tricks Osiris to lie in a coffin bed
but twelve sons escape to distant lands
and open crystal eyes on flat-top pyramids
that watch you from your television screen.

Taking Jesus to cupola of Capitol Dome
Satan offers crown of power on Earth
I give you control over cubicle slaves
if you bow down and call me your king
but he declines on your television screen.

Striking deceiver with Excalibur blade
Jesus fights for inalienable human rights
twirling light saber in gleaming Death Star
to hurl Darth Maul from glass Eiffel tower
battling tyranny on your television screen.

Damiel stands on top Brandenburg Gate
over wall dividing empires in Cold War
and cries out to express his eternal love
for a gentle winged maiden who cannot fly
who flies unseen on your television screen.

Abram bows before twelve wood statues
carved to show ancestors Adam to his father
but they never move or eat food he brings
so he chops them to splinters with an axe
and burns idols on your television screen.

Daughter of Helius Colossus lifts lamp
of liberty to light free way from dark war
so we hold hands and enter her golden door
to build a new life on lush American shore
a story retold on your television screen.

When Nebuch Aden Ezzar king of all worlds
stands towering over labyrinth of pyramids
what rock of fire tumbles from hand of Godin
to smash statue of pride so away we stride
in a musical movie on your television screen.

Rising higher than heaven on steel legs
Moloch money spewer on glass bank tower
sends Matanbuchus and Belial to Washington
to negotiate secret deals to buy a flower
that blooms red on your television screen.

Peering deep in your head while you dream
Sauron watches you with lidless sun eye
and knows all dark secret desires you hide
so wear this magic ring on your wedding day
for channel nine on your television screen.

Reaching out his hand to Princess Rahab
who sings alone in white tower of Rapunzel
Meroveus cries out I give you my true heart
then flies away to Arcadia on raven wings
if you believe all on your television screen.

Methuselah teaches young Merlin magic spells
so he plays rock guitar on a crowded stage
as Nicholas Tesla sizzles electric flames
and Jimi Hendrix twangs Star Spangled Banner
till werewolves howl on your television screen.

While Beowulf plays chess with Mephistopheles
and Grendel rides motorbike Seattle to Miami
I dance with Kwan Yin on mountain of snow
and ask if she will reign bride of my hearth
to hide reality on your television screen.

Flip channels of a thousand drama shows
surfing waves of memory from ancient times
and search for your name in our database
to see if you exist in epic movie of life
now pause scene on your television screen.
