Searching for stable truth of common sense 
in constant chaos of conflicts for power, 
we write stories about puzzling events 
presenting action through cause and effect 
performed by characters who seem too real 
till they do something supernatural. 

The gas station attendant sprouts hawk wings 
and chases down the sexual predator 
who turns into the snarling wolf of rage, 
gaunt faces lit by lightning flash of hope, 
till social law sees that justice is served 
while bones of devils dance in hurricanes. 

The high school math teacher becomes the deer 
who darts with graceful pride in apple grove 
where the state senator raises his rifle 
to cut education funding each year 
so children on the playground reenact 
lord of the flies in game of politics. 

The newspaper reporter, who revealed 
corruption of the governor who took 
bribes from bankers to deregulate cards, 
gets fired by the new owner of the journal 
who plays golf with the governor each month, 
so he wears cape of Superman and cries. 

The chief of the health insurance company, 
that denies most claims based in secret codes, 
transforms into the bull snorting with rage 
as Mithras whips red cape and twirls sharp sword, 
then Zorro assassinates corporate thief 
to the cheers of the sick in hospitals. 

The man who bullies people all his life, 
attacking women and stealing from men, 
becomes clear target of the Thought Police 
who chase him through dark corridors of power 
till they corner him in the Oval Office 
where Brutus declares him under arrest. 

The patriotic soldier, wearing medals 
earned in fierce combat against tyranny, 
transforms into Raguel, Angel of Justice, 
commissioned to maintain peace in the land, 
who hunts bitter Midas in maze of myths 
to prevent him from crowning himself king. 

Searching for stable truth with honest sword, 
Minerva fights injustice in the world, 
though powerful men obstruct her progress, 
supporting common people who construct 
creative routines in productive lives 
to make America happy again.
