Merry Song Of Joy

If I could sing new merry song of joy 
to cheer up all the sad souls in the world 
I would design lush garden for the scene 
where each young mother gives birth to her child 
safe inside ancient walls of honest faith 
who might embody spirit of the wraith. 

Then I would play sweet melody of hope 
with slender flute I carve from demon bone 
to lead lost refugees from bitter war 
on signless road to garden of the skull 
so they can feast on fruit by glowing hearth 
and sing again about true peace on Earth. 

But men with weapons of oppressive hate 
will always find the helpless and the weak 
and force them to obey their laws of greed 
by working every day till their hands bleed, 
so I play eerie tune of psychic spells 
that hypnotize their minds with Christmas bells. 

Men blind with greed for power to control 
the workers who extract wealth from the ground 
build institutions based on noble genes 
to run global food-production machine 
that feeds the wealthy with blood of the poor 
based on false narrative of divine lore. 

The hidden dragon is the new-born child 
who one day will rise high from poverty 
to organize bold army of the poor 
and overthrow the tyrant in the castle 
through revolution of justice for truth 
at cyclic coming of our messiah sleuth. 

So every year on this cold silent night 
we celebrate birth of the chosen one 
destined to follow purpose of their heart 
by speaking with the voice the people feel, 
then lead them in fight for the noble cause 
that supports equal rights with honest laws. 

With turning of time every eighty years 
the social system that sustains our lives 
collapses in factions of civil war 
till spirit of the nation sparks one soul 
to project vision of justice for all 
in programs that inspire men to live well. 

When vibrant energy of social hope 
oscillates between political poles 
well balanced process of government roles 
provides fair system for all to succeed 
who choose to help construct our global state 
through laws that let each soul define their fate.
