When proud Superbus struts in halls of power 
to assert dominance of his contempt, 
worms convert bodies of great kings to dirt 
transforming arrogant flesh into flower 
of beautiful indifference, exempt 
from social laws of that blind angels exert. 

Weeping over tragic fate of Lucretia, 
I kneel in her temple by Nemi Lake 
where Face of Diana gazes at me 
from dark depths of emotional inertia 
with knowledge to perceive the real from fake 
I need to support world democracy. 

Though none dare challenge bold Arician king 
who reigns as tyrant of the Golden Bough, 
yet Virbius trains in secret to defeat 
arrogant bully who clutches Star Ring 
in vain attempt to prove he owns the cow 
that tramples his serpent soul with her feet. 

The king who slays the slayer shall be slain, 
declares Tiresias in the sacred grove 
where Artemis weaves tapestry of fate 
to show ambition for power is vain, 
for those who hoard our social treasure trove 
will be destroyed by their own bitter hate. 

Still wearing short skirt and long hunting boots, 
Diana treads wood path among tall trees, 
and aims sharp arrow with her taut moon bow 
with eye of perceptive insight, then shoots 
swift leaping deer, that moans in soft spring breeze, 
to defeat the mad king in mythic show. 

Silenced by terror of harsh tyranny 
that Superbus imposes on our land, 
we wait for bold Orestes to return 
from Parnassus and save democracy 
by slaying the tyrant with his red right hand, 
then wear the crown of power he must earn. 

Despite attempts to twist verified truth 
with lies through insults at his enemies, 
the tyrant king who killed the bully king 
hides with shame of crime when messiah sleuth 
sends Strophius to retrieve psychic keys 
and jail Superbus with Hadean Ring. 

Heartbroken he could not protect Verginia 
from lust of the tyrant in hall of power, 
Icilius leads revolution to fight 
for Liberty enforced by brave Justicia 
who frees Rapunzel from the Ivory Tower 
so she can bear the Lamp of Holy Light.
