The narrow dusty road across bleak plain, 
that takes me past wind-weathered hills of hope, 
seems to extend forever to the sky, 
but I know somewhere far beyond despair 
stands shining temple of wise Jupiter 
who hosts grand banquets for lost travelers. 

But by the time I arrive at his hall 
ten thousand years of reckless social change 
have transformed villages of hungry farmers 
to vast metropolitan maze of streets 
so piston-engine cars glide past glass towers 
where Jupiter reigns as bank president. 

The silver airplane Daedalus designed, 
which Icarus pilots with focused faith, 
zooms swiftly far in high celestial realm 
so wingless angels manage world affairs 
in global council of state ministers 
where Jupiter presides with wise insight. 

Peter chuckles at vision of the world 
that Michael proffers with clever grin 
where mythic spirits of conceptual gods 
provide vigor of ideal characters 
as psychic force of social energy 
which incarnate in normal mortal men. 

Consider how mythic tag of our name 
acts as key to initiate psychic force 
of social role performed in state of grace 
by that original person whose mind 
may exercise broad visionary scope 
through our contemporary mental form. 

That first Michael, human who bore my name, 
now sanctified as archangel whose soul 
exerted deeds of duty to assert 
central authority of Jupiter, 
whose name signifies Jehovah Pater, 
has become glamorous ideal of the hero. 

By assigning name of that great archangel, 
Michael who slays dragon of the cruel tyrant, 
whose devilish spirit possesses men 
each generation with ambition to rule 
with greed, exploiting human slaves for wealth, 
my mother hopes I will act with his spirit. 

Therefore, it is my duty in this life, 
as mortal incarnation of Saint Michael, 
to save America from tyranny, 
but how I shall perform this sacred role 
has yet to manifest, so I employ 
patience to act well when the time is right.
