Revolution Of Human Gods

I hear the voices of ten million people
across the land from sea to shining sea
cry out with defiance from shocking fear
about the angry white male terrorists
who shoot innocent people from blind rage
because someone challenged their privilege.
Who has the right to wield authority
except the boldest male who beats his chest
and howls with rage like the thundering storm,
and bullies all to obey his commands
by threatening to kill everyone who dares
challenge the rightness of his divine will.
Like every thunder god in ancient myths,
the angry male who kills challenging males
crowns himself the ruler who makes the laws
and organizes work of every hand
by sitting on the regal judgment throne
in shining court to judge who lives or dies.
The judging king who rules on throne of power
would crown his son to rule after his death
for someone always challenges his right
then fights to throw him in the dust of death
and crown himself the new king of the world
in endless revolution of human gods.
We overthrew their royal dynasties
and now elect one man to play our God
based on the vision he presents in speech
expressing how he plans to rule our nation,
but if one man tries to stay in control
we throw that tyrant off the throne of power.
We rein in the forces of violent rage
by holding elections every four years
to control revolution through our votes,
and balance forces of authority
with constant challenge of rebellious hope
to conserve progress of well-managed growth.
We manage our desires with dreams of hope
through opportunities to work for pay
and build strong homes on land we call our own
where our children can play safe in the garden,
exercising their creative free will
to design meaning for lifestyle they choose.
When huge corporations control resources
that force individuals to work or die,
young angry men will clutch guns in their hands
and shoot fellow citizens in blind rage
because they cannot find the criminals
who steal their power to live with self-control.
Lay all your killing guns down on the ground
and join hands with your fellow citizens
who work each day to pay the rent and eat,
then vote for honest, humble politicians
to write laws that favor the working person
so everyone can earn a decent wage.
Though thousands of years ago angry men
could go on killing sprees in brutal wars
to crown themselves god-kings in palace halls,
today the man who shoots good citizens
will fail to overthrow vast tyranny
while hidden rulers laugh at our protests.
