Spells Of Obscure Formulas

Into maze of surreal illusions we dance
while chanting spells of obscure formulas
to obfuscate raw horror of despair
that fascist bullies through judicial coups
occupy offices of national power
to mute tone of our democratic voice
and silence righteousness of our tales
accusing tyrants of crimes against justice.
Throats raw from refusing to express rage
of righteous indignation at suppression
of our sacred and inalienable right
to choose how we live in game of production,
we howl eloquent spells of jolting verse
to zap from stale complacency of power
haughty men who wield sword of privilege
to threaten us all who defy their greed.
We cannot hide despair that twists our minds
when competing narratives about truth
tangle each other through contest of wills
in wrestling to define facts that are real
which benefit the teller of tall tales
who attempts to control how women feel
when hot blood surging through their open hearts
energizes rebellion against tyrants.
Masks of superheroes who save the world
we wear painted with surreal characters
to channel aggressive defense of justice
sustained by expression of liberty
when individuals cultivate strong skills
to counterbalance selfishness of greed
when arrogant bullies, weak from despair,
reassert control through harsh violence.
Fascists always threaten democracy
because democracy of common voices
debating programs that benefit all
threaten their monopoly of control
propped by privilege they award themselves
of fragile egoes fractured by desire
to dominate the world with their blind greed
so we resist them with aggressive love.
The principle of liberty prevails
against oppressive tyrants of blind greed
for they must exercise excessive force
to maintain control over our free minds
but we always rise strong against vain tyrants
by exercising our freedom to choose
and blaze our own trail through the bleak waste land
so we help each other wear masks of truth.
