The old wizard whose face no one can see 
walks crooked highway of diamond-eyed skulls 
to preach salvation of the blooming flower 
to people driving in their cars to work 
who see nothing more than flicker of light 
flash briefly through drizzle of purple rain. 

Raising wand with emerald tip overhead 
to channel bright lightning of Jupiter, 
Zambor proclaims dire prophecy of doom 
to people driving in their cars to work 
who hear nothing more than thunderous crack 
that shakes the tower where oligarchs plot. 

With eyes that glare into the human soul 
through psychic anguish of the Holy Book 
Zambor unveils revelation of change 
to people driving in their cars to work 
who feel nothing more than impatient hope 
for wealth that always glimmers out of reach. 

Exposing stratagem of oligarchs 
to supervise Corporate America, 
Zambor cries warning with Cassandra voice 
to people driving in their cars to work 
who sense nothing more than vibe of unease 
shake foundation under empire of banks. 

Confused by numb indifference of their hearts 
diseased by outrage at false enemies, 
Zambor explains with logical discourse 
to people driving in their cars to work 
how they have been enslaved by unconcern 
to praise the tyrant as their new messiah. 

Leading spirits of warriors killed in war 
when they fought fascists for democracy, 
Zambor demonstrates before the White House 
to people driving in their cars to work 
in fight to oppose corporate billionaires 
but they fluff into snowflakes in the wind. 

Inspired by noble heart of Liberty 
who shelters refugees from holy wars, 
Zambor legislates equal rights for all 
to people driving in their cars to work 
who assert privilege of the master race 
to exploit labor of the working poor. 

Preaching liberty and justice for all 
while holding banner dripping stripes of blood, 
Zambor founds new state of Zarathia 
for people driving in their cars to work 
who wander through ruins of America, 
searching for their dreams that crumble to dust.
