Phoenix Wings Of Faith

When Midas flies his golden planes of greed 
in Twin Towers of business and government 
to destroy our global democracy, 
we rally round bright flag of Liberty 
that shines with stars of civil rights for all 
and march ten thousand miles in smoke of war. 

Our long march in the wilderness of fear 
seems, to our hopeful hearts of angry pain, 
to last forever in struggle for freedom, 
so our fight against tyranny seems lost, 
but if we stay together in our cause 
we will arrive in paradise at last. 

Each eighty years in history of mankind 
we fight against the tyrant in gold tower 
who imprisons Rapunzel with his greed, 
and, though we sometimes lose our noble fight, 
and must endure monarchs too many years, 
we always rise on Phoenix wings of faith. 

I write this dispatch from my prison cell, 
hands chained by oligarchs afraid of truth, 
with spirit of great leaders in the past 
who preached salvation of honest intent 
from sunless underworld of misery 
to encourage you with passion for freedom. 

Though our great institutions, that stood long 
as secure bulwark against poverty 
contrived from ignorance of fearful minds, 
have been destroyed by gang of oligarchs 
to constrain our hopes as factory slaves, 
we will build better government for all. 

We gather in libraries, full of books 
that recount epic tales of noble heroes 
fighting for freedom and justice for all, 
to keep their doors open for everyone 
to learn about true history of our state 
constructed by oligarchs on backs of slaves. 

Yet working people, who unite their hearts 
in unions to secure their civil rights 
for safe conditions and well-deserved wage, 
assemble round governing pyramid 
of social hierarchy where the rich lounge 
to support the leader who keeps them fed. 

Our new towers of business and government 
will rise from ruins of failed tyranny 
when cosmic herald of United Nations 
emerges strong on Phoenix wings of faith 
to secure equal rights for every soul 
who lives in Heaven of our spinning Earth.
