This republic of ours I vow to keep 
by joining with my fellow human beings 
to maintain fair justice for every soul, 
declares the oak on Seventh Avenue 
where people tie yellow ribbons of faith 
to celebrate this time of all last things. 

Snow covers round table in the back yard 
where ghosts of animals who never speak 
gather to discuss how democracy 
should encourage our loyal brotherhood 
in fighting to defend the sacred right 
of every breathing person to live free. 

Based on heroic wealth of hall and bower, 
my project to redeem this angry world 
leads me to search for sword and pen of truth 
in stagnant water of our crowded land 
so mighty souls of Milton and Wordsworth 
may teach us brave freedom of the small voice. 

Their souls still shine in firmament of faith 
that shelters scattered peoples of our land 
where we now dwell in teeming maze of myths 
with selfish wisdom of majestic pride 
to mission to expand scope of our laws 
enforcing equal rights for every soul. 

Greedy taskmasters in towers of glass 
oppress our freedom to express dark fears 
that haunt our daily exercise of speech 
because we stumble toward paradise lost 
in fog of delusions our hearts discharge 
in frantic quest to find the Promised Land. 

What noble purpose to build paradise 
once challenged our bestial hearts to aspire 
with courage to transcend our tribal past 
and dwell in peaceful commune on lush land 
with fellow humans from diverse estates 
as we strive to create Heaven on Earth. 

Unchecked power of cruel self-proclaimed kings 
who grasp state power with familial wealth 
was rendered obsolete by brutal wars 
they fought to maintain fascist grip of greed 
so we elect with liberty-bound vote 
wise man whose program benefits us all. 

Though gang of thieves disguised as oligarchs 
threatens to seize control of federal gears 
so they can exploit labor of our hands, 
we join Minerva in her noble quest 
to keep our brave republic free from greed 
so we live as we will, if we harm none.
