From London to Manhattan on steel wings 
he flies across the ocean to escape 
shadow of Death that haunts clean sunlit lawns, 
then huddles in taxi that Charon drives 
while clutching portrait of Circe, his wife, 
whose eyes strike his heart with arrow of love. 

Though Orpheus plucks at life with old lyre 
he cannot lead the mad seer back from death 
whose ghost forever drives his coffin car 
up hill of skulls where Dionysus laughs 
at portent of sea waves on golden sand 
where only fools build castles out of fame. 

Since time is always open-eyed with truth 
about futile quest of humanity 
to maintain imperial security 
through honesty of tanks and ships and planes, 
we animate our bones with fabled news 
to march against contempt of tyranny. 

With voice of ocean waves crashing soft shores 
we clamor loud through sermons of grand pride 
insisting on our bold superior strength 
to stand opposed with principles of faith 
against aggressive hordes of greedy gangs 
who invade fertile land our fathers stole. 

No penitents now visit shrines of saints 
who passively resisted tyranny, 
for they hide in their isolated homes 
clutching rifles of rage with frightened hands 
to shoot the faceless shadow of despair 
in vain attempt to secure paradise. 

The shining city on the hill of faith 
that cannot be hid by smokescreen of greed, 
humming with vibrant creativity, 
protects migrants and refugees from war 
who gather from cities around the world 
with vision of global democracy. 

Somewhere in crowded maze of city streets 
nameless messiah sleuth investigates 
crime of treason against Justice and Truth 
committed by the thief in business suit 
while angels of American cry out 
for the cosmic herald to guide their way. 

As eyeless ghost of the mad seer glows bright 
in torch of freedom Liberty holds high, 
his vision projects rainbow of his will 
in fear-dispelling beacon of our hearts 
that lights the way our scattered tribe can go 
on the righteous path of democracy.
