Erasing Human History

Erasing Human History

Through sacred passion of our tragic love 
we could rule the world with money and blood 
yet horses run faster than motor cars 
and streetlights outshine ancient long-dead stars, 
so I will give you everything I own 
with morbid dignity of the cracked stone. 

Alone by river of the raging beast, 
she howls with anguish of the bitter moon 
while those who killed her father laugh and feast 
on bones of power carved with ghoulish rune 
that flashes beacon of hot nuclear war 
erasing human history from the shore. 

Dressed in diabolic grace of despair, 
she glides through prim crowd in the castle court 
with heart-enchanting elegance and flair 
that hypnotizes monarch with the sword 
who crowns her empress of the Holy Land 
and places scepter in her humble hand. 

Avenging angel from Glow Cloud of rage 
descends on devil wings to stalk the cruel 
whose evil deeds exposed on public stage 
reveals the haughty king to be the fool 
who kneels before lightning glare of her eyes 
and prays for mercy to the empty skies. 

Though bitter thief tries to crown himself king 
by grasping at illusion of vain wealth 
his blinding greed is chained by devil ring 
that cripples him with vengeance sought by stealth 
when his nefarious plot to rule the world 
is blocked by gambit of the cosmic herald. 

Scared of justice Minerva will employ, 
vain King Midas retreats to cave of hate, 
but attempts to evade her honest ploy 
drive him deeper in social maze of fate 
till mad tyrant is trapped by his blind rage 
in tangled plight he cannot disengage. 

Ascending pyramid of the God-Eye, 
where she wields Sword of Justice with respect 
for human rights no king can falsify, 
Minerva enacts programs to protect 
productive way of life citizens choose 
through vote for her as American Muse. 

When I see soul of God in the cracked stone 
that vibrates with first flash of the big bang, 
I found religious faith on atom tone 
pulsing in the sea where conscious life sprang, 
so I vote for Liberty as world queen 
whose laugh enlivens our national scene.
