The stories we write in books of our hearts 
preserve endless dreams from our memories 
of journeys we navigate on star charts 
designed with program code of psychic keys 
that guide our quest to find the Promised Land 
which we create with word-assertive hand. 

Morpheus rises from wild swirling sea 
with crystal sphere of wisdom in his brain, 
and floats on demon wings of honesty 
to drench the waste land in conceptual rain, 
while weeping angels lose the Promised Land 
that leaves them stranded on the waveless strand. 

Electra gallops swift on Pegasus 
toward castle crumbling from oblique despair 
to behead tyrant son of Tantalus 
with sacred sword known as Excalibur 
before his greed can trash the Promised Land 
in metaphor that smears his social brand. 

Diogenes throws lamp against the wall 
to light the burning bush Jehovah wields 
in fight against code of the clarion call 
that lures journalists to dark battlefields 
in vain attempts to clean the Promised Land 
corrupted by greed that blind prophets banned.  

Belenus raises Wand of Zambor to the sky 
to lead his people on the Freedom Road 
after he freed them from cave of the spy 
who forced wanderers to worship the toad 
with command that we hide the Promised Land, 
distracted by noise of the marching band. 

Fortuna measures spooling thread of life 
connecting me with love to my soulmate 
who informs me that she will be my wife 
because our choices determine our fate, 
so I find job to map the Promised Land 
to abyss which Bridge of Forgetfulness spanned. 

Athena forges dragon bones of rage 
as covers that bind Book of Destiny 
from which Jupiter tears out my Life Page 
to erase my empire from history 
when he sends planes to bomb the Promised Land 
so we wander in maze of the heartland. 

Mercurius gives me lyre of timeless tales 
so I sing epic of philosophers 
that weighs accomplishments on cosmic scales 
defined by survey of geographers, 
so we unite to build the Promised Land 
connected by channels of our broadband.
