Through infinite nesting of my dream state 
I spiral inward to dark core of being 
by boring roots of neurons from my brain 
to find original source of all light 
that gleams with bright eternal flame of thought 
in hollow nothingness of everything. 

Recessive advance back to the first seed 
from which the universe flares forth in form, 
containing every atom of my soul 
which clusters hope with components of faith 
designed by immortal soul of my genes, 
fuels my progress to become my true self. 

When Michael wakes from early morning dream, 
he dons combat fatigues with carbine rifle 
and patrols mountain valley in Alaska 
where he sees Morpheus, grim lord of dreams, 
wearing wolf-fur cape blown by river breeze, 
as he builds enormous castle of sand. 

Ten thousand airplanes, bearing the red star 
on silver wings, loom over mountain peaks, 
so Michael gasps when millions of lithe soldiers 
parachute from heaven on white silk wings, 
to occupy the whole Pacific coast 
from Alaska stretching to California. 

For over four thousand four hundred years 
my ancestors with bold courageous hearts 
have guarded homelands of their fertile tribes 
since Sargon the Great ruled the Akkad Empire, 
so I must ask myself this forfeit hour 
how I shall now guard America well. 

Weakened by fierce nationalist divisions, 
based on racist creed of superior worth, 
the peoples of America contend 
over who claims right to live in this land 
instead of joining forces with firm faith 
to protect our states from invading armies. 

All three nations of North America 
should unite in state of Wohalia, 
lead by the white-crowned eagle of our faith, 
to fight invaders from across the sea 
who seek to divide us with racist hate 
so they can conquer and control our land. 

America is based on Liberty 
and Justice for each person in this land, 
regardless of their race, gender, or creed, 
for every tribe that lives on spinning Earth 
is welcome to join our experiment 
in state that unites all humans in one.
