Fake Wings Of Icarus

Fake Wings Of Icarus

Searching for heroes to defend the people 
against exploitation of oligarchs, 
I fly over lands of America 
forever on fake wings of Icarus 
till I fall exhausted back in my room 
where faceless ghosts call out my name for help. 

Translating songs of trees to clever jokes 
that mock obsessive greed of oligarchs, 
I stumble through maze of America 
forever on fake wings of Icarus 
despite belief of all my loyal fans 
that I can drive Godzilla back to Hell. 

Leaping into swirling portals of time 
to wrestle oligarchs on every world, 
I map multiverse of America 
forever on fake wings of Icarus 
beyond the waste land of our singing skulls 
alone down highway of loud radios. 

Kicking soccer-ball moon across the sky 
to score more goals against cruel oligarchs, 
I study ruins of America 
forever on fake wings of Icarus 
long fallen from grace of democracy 
and fettered by the chains of tyranny. 

Recording soundtrack of the howling wolf 
to fight the vampire oligarchs for wealth, 
I deconstruct fate of America 
forever on fake wings of Icarus 
before the second coming of the lord 
who claims he alone rules the universe. 

Patrolling frontier of our nation-state 
to defend Garden of Eden from thieves, 
I plow lush wheatfields of America 
forever on fake wings of Icarus 
to free migrant workers from slavery 
so every man can farm his private land. 

Painting murals that depict social heroes 
fighting conspiracies of oligarchs, 
I maintain justice in America 
forever on fake wings of Icarus 
though I fall into sea of twisted laws 
to battle truth-starving Cetus of greed. 

Climbing Mount Parnassus in dawn light 
to seek oracle of the singing skull, 
I calculate faith of America 
forever on fake wings of Icarus 
for Orpheus Christ in temple of truth 
who prophesies rise of Zarathia.
