Cute haloed cherub of my shadow mind 
dances as candle flame of my desire, 
brave protector of our world languages 
so everyone can understand true love 
where two people do not have to wear masks 
when they walk together on road of life. 

Cute haloed cherub of the ticking clock 
scatters seeds of revolution for truth 
in fertile soil of fate-embittered minds 
that sprout into gangsters with blasting guns 
who fight against the corporate government 
till their godfather invades the White House. 

Cute haloed cherub of chemical lust 
binds hearts of strangers with red thread of love 
who gamble with fate of the falling star 
by selling bodies to angel of wealth 
so they can build new quaint suburban home 
with television and a backyard pool. 

Cute haloed cherub of stark nothingness 
maps maze of myths in vast metropolis 
where people gather in the church of hope 
to pray for coming of the star-eyed king 
who founds world empire on the laughing skull 
where they may slave in factories of faith. 

Cute haloed cherub of the bleeding moon 
gives oranges to young lovers in the park 
who split each other open with sweet words 
to eat their juicy hearts with thirsty tongues 
till they transform into strange characters 
who star in television sitcom shows. 

Cute haloed cherub of the empty sky 
offers to fly us up to paradise 
so we board the airplane of progressive code 
that soars above Glow Cloud where no gods sing, 
then crash-lands lost on Isle of Avalon 
where we build a socialist society. 

Cute haloed cherub of the viking ship 
leads refugees from the holy crusade 
across wild ocean of the howling ghost 
on endless quest to find the Promised Land 
where we build empire of the hungry snake, 
now lost in the haunted amusement park. 

Cute haloed cherub of paradise lost 
gives me cracked mask of Lucifer to wear, 
so, high on pyramid of the one eye, 
I rule world empire of Zarathia 
based on liberty and justice for all 
who fight each other for the ring of power.
