Spinning Cycle Of Social Change

The howling rabble of fierce politics,
instead of running through the streets with guns,
now trolls people on social media sites
to divide and conquer plain citizens
with false accusations that their great leader
commits vile crimes against humanity.
Opposing factions of our city-state
accuse each other of treasonous thoughts
and insult each other as stupid morons
who hate this noble country where we live
fighting to destroy our great principles
so we support what we value as good.
Just like the mouse thinks the bat is an angel
people worship their party politicians,
blinded by mindless ideology
that prescribes how they must think about things
so they attack anyone who believes
facts proved true by observation and test.
The long-caped wizard on the stage of power,
supported by the Devil and the Pope,
waves his fingers before the awe-struck crowd
and cries out, "Hocus pocus, you are changed,
so eat this bread torn from body of God
and you will become mighty gods on Earth!"
Though we overthrew the arrogant king,
and beheaded him before his mute God,
his son invaded with army of killers
so we fled across wild Atlantic Sea
to found America, Land of the Free,
where we elect presidents to rule well.
Death may erase our bodies from the Earth
and snuff the frail flame of our consciousness
but the songs we sing in our hour of pain
preserve forever our visions of truth,
for though I never sing vision I want
I always sing the weird vision we need.
The city shining on the hill we built
to be light of truth unto all the nations
transformed over the past four hundred years
into empire of liberty for all
to prevent one man from taking control
and crowning himself dictator of power.
Any man who tries to crown himself king
will be struck down by the lightning of justice
through constant revolution of elections
in strict spinning cycle of social change
to balance conservative and liberal
so Eagle of America can fly straight.
