Piscean Overhang

The books are so many sand
     Paintings dispersed
               By a hand
As the Age of Messiahs passes,
     The hero in theory
               Always a cad
                                         In fact.

The good can only be bad,
     Much as it pains
               The martyr inside
Who knows the outside world
               Can't help
                                  To surmise.

All circles fit into the circle.
All colors metamorphize to one.
     The slogans and the flags,
               False maps.
     The stone floor contains
               Many faces
                                    Not even trapped.
