Startled awake by angel of star fire, 
who haunts our nation with wings of despair, 
I lounge on my back porch and play guitar 
while King Midas destroys America 
so he can crown himself king of the world, 
but he drowns when he tries to walk on water. 

Inspired by hymn from angel of star fire, 
we gather at the river of cracked skulls 
that floods city mazes with crystal tide 
which flows by the electric throne of Death 
where wood statue of God erupts in flames 
when Aaron casts serpent wand in the grass. 

Longing to fly with angel of star fire, 
I race bicycle down steep hill of hope 
with arms of faith outspread to imitate 
eagerness of Icarus to transcend 
mundane routines of daily rituals 
designed to maintain life through self-control. 

Eager to play with angel of star fire, 
I carve chess pieces from statues of gods 
which I found buried in mud of the well 
so we perform our roles on stage of power 
to protect Liberty in the High Tower 
where she sings with blue bird of bitterness. 

Trapped in life maze with angel of star fire, 
who sits on crystal throne of glowing clouds 
beneath binary rainbow of respect, 
I refract currency of my star soul 
through prism heart of her kaleidoscope 
when Minerva returns from Cave of Truth. 

Freed from prison by angel of star fire, 
I map whole history of our human race 
on time-animated atlas of Earth 
so we can navigate landscape of ghosts 
to build from ruins of America 
new land of justice called Zarathia. 

Deployed to war by angel of star fire, 
I wield Excalibur with clumsy grace, 
as warden who guards the garden of God, 
which I forged from stone in Cave of Illusions 
to lead world revolution of the caring 
against all tyrants and kings in glass towers. 

Reborn from fear as angel of star fire, 
I stand on ziggurat of Mother Ishtar 
to strum the lyre of Mercury with faith 
when she casts spell of brave enlightenment 
to prevent Midas from fracking the world, 
so we join United Nations of Earth.
