Lightning Of Freedom

I flash lightning of freedom for the world 
to see new way of living for each soul 
in global society where all people 
are equal in honest eyes of the law, 
for together we will stand with bold hearts 
brave against cruel tyranny of the strong. 

Through darkness of suffering and despair 
we run with beating hearts of anguished hope 
past leering shadows of arrogant pride 
to wade across deep rivers of blind hope 
till light of love guides our relentless steps 
safe to the Promised Land we once thought fake. 

While grasping the plow with gnarled hands of faith, 
I dig deep trenches in the bleeding Earth 
to unleash army of wild howling warriors 
who spring from teeth of the dragon to dance 
on graves of their ancestors without names 
who journeyed from the Promised Land of lies. 

The raven-winged witch of the apple tree 
howls loud as thunderstorm on jagged hills 
while snakes writhe singing on her jabbing arms 
till flash of lightning cracks our mirror world 
so wretched demons escape from the cave 
in revolution for freedom from slavery. 

While right-wing conservatives serving God 
fight for classed society to rule Earth 
where the strong rich can exploit the weak poor, 
left-wing liberals serving Humanity 
fight for classless society to guard 
equal rights of every soul to live free. 

When I see her star shining in the East, 
new gleam of light piercing darkness of fear, 
I feel vibration of her angel soul 
energize my heart with passion of faith 
to fight for justice reborn in our hearts 
so we can protect all people from harm. 

Though bombs destroy our ideologies 
with mocking laughter of the haughty king 
we rise from rubble of our hopes and dreams 
to walk with angel wings on broken Earth 
and construct new haven with honest hands 
till everything disperses into dust. 

Trudging nowhere in cold indifferent rain, 
I forget weird destiny of my heart 
to find the Promised Land of ancient myth 
and settle anywhere on river shore 
where my descendants rule with bloody fist 
with my skull in sacred temple of power.
