Temple For Every Soul

Temple For Every Soul

Since every one fights to control the sky 
I want to rise on wings of Icarus 
and dwell on swirling clouds of ecstasy 
with haughty confidence of conscious faith 
to strum the lyre of Mercury and sing 
hymns that praise the noble deeds of good souls. 

Driving my stylish compact vehicle, 
powered by engine Barsanti designed, 
I glide down winding roads on rolling hills 
in maze of buildings, steered by traffic signs, 
accomplishing daily routine of tasks 
to maintain status of my conscious dream. 

Gathered with my two children and my wife 
at booth in restaurant by the city park, 
we talk about the nature of the world, 
and how our plans for life fit in time frame 
sustained by our global society 
that nurtures creative Song of the Self. 

What fantasy Utopia we live in, 
to maintain aggressive production flow, 
recent generations of humans built 
based on bitter experience of world wars 
to control wild chaos of energy 
that balances opposing wills to power. 

Global system of sovereign governments, 
aligned by United Nations of Earth 
in loose federation of nation-states, 
composed of fragile alliances 
of socialist and capitalist networks, 
jostles in fractured puzzle of control. 

Assertive programs of authority, 
that range from liberal democracies 
to fascist monarchies of tyranny, 
contend for dominance of their world view 
personified by their concept of God 
as greedy Satan versus nurturing Jesus. 

When Pluto sends Midas to overthrow 
free institutions of America 
so he can crown himself Earth Emperor, 
Jupiter sends Lucifer to arrest 
his volatile rampage wrecking our state 
so Minerva can build Zarathia. 

When Jupiter confines Pluto in Hell, 
binding capitalist lust with socialist laws, 
Minerva builds temple for every soul 
based on Liberty and Justice for all 
to construct from ruins of America 
new global empire of Zarathia.
