Greed Of Angry Kings

Greed Of Angry Kings

Through fresh beginning from this fallen age 
run children laughing in bright cement maze 
to mock the jester on the global stage 
who prepares the way for the next growth phase 
by burning everything we value down 
till he is consumed by the Thorny Crown. 

With hands raised to the swirling clouds of faith, 
I conjure Thespia from the mountain cave 
to channel divine passion of the wraith 
with sacred mission of the fool to save 
humanity from greed of angry kings 
who howl in rage and break our angel wings. 

Inspired by holy wisdom of the sea, 
I wear oak mask of Thespis on my face 
to play the hero fighting to live free 
against mad tyrants with musical grace, 
then worship Eros in the sacred grove 
on Mount Helicon to celebrate love. 

Rolling stone of sorrow up Helicon 
to smash idol of the king with clay feet, 
Sisyphus sails north to found Avalon 
with head of Ozymandias on the street, 
where he gives diamond to the Fairy Queen 
who bears him daughter he names Melusine. 

When Heracles storms bright Olympus hall 
to proclaim himself emperor of the world, 
Thespia causes that mad tyrant to fall 
when she gives Justice Sword to cosmic herald 
who locks him in dark labyrinth of hell 
where bull-head rages against moral spell. 

Tricked by the rainbow eyes of Pegasus 
to think he is strong when he has grown weak, 
King Midas gives gold key to Narcissus 
who steals the national treasure devils seek, 
till we rally round Minerva with plan 
to save our country from that traitorous man. 

Black yellow-spotted salamander crawls 
on jagged stone in forest of beech trees 
where Thespia hides from Midas behind falls 
to escape lust of his fascist decrees 
when he escapes prison and reclaims 
Thorny Crown of Christ to play mental games. 

That crackling sound that thunders in the skies 
is our world view crumbling from social change 
so honest citizens play crafty spies 
to reprogram thought-concepts that seem strange, 
supporting new world order based on truth 
with justice enforced by messiah sleuth.
