Alive In Abya Yala

I think I took a wrong turn in the mall
because I am not in America
any more, where Liberty for every soul
is the sacred law by which we all live,
illusion of greatness that vanishes
and leaves me alive in Abya Yala.

Inspired by the man bleeding on the tree,
who grasps writhing snakes of hate in the well
and transforms them into Runes of Respect,
I leave cathedral of the vampire god
and stumble in meadow of maple trees
that flash me alive in Abya Yala.

Alone on mountain of the Rainbow Snake,
who reveals woman with stalk of gold corn,
I watch butterflies turn into jet planes
that bomb the ziggurat where Ishtar reigns,
so I flee into waste land of the west
where I howl alive in Abya Yala.

Stripped of my wolf-fur cloak and magic wand
by one-eyed wizard of dark Raven Wood,
I drive my car from sea to shining sea
home to where I was born in Oregon
where Multnomah cleanses my heart of fear
so I dance alive in Abya Yala.

Broken wings of Icarus in my heart
flap helplessly in hurricane of change
when I fall from Heaven of Righteousness
and wander Turtle Island without hands
to help Onatah tend Garden of Corn,
soul reborn alive in Abya Yala.

When illusion of Great America
collapses into shards of shiny lies
because demon of greed escapes from its cage,
I join free people of Zarathia
to build new nation based on equal rights
that fires us alive in Abya Yala.

I want to return home to Avalon,
then on to Lake of Dreams in Scythia,
to build strong United Nations of Earth
that renders equal justice for all souls
who share this lush globe spinning in the void
that beams us alive in Abya Yala.

After the American Empire falls
from crushing weight of xenophobic hate,
we will build new nation for everyone
who shares love for truth of wise Onatah
who directs choir of equal citizens
so we sing alive in Abya Yala.

Orpheus plays lyre of Mercury while Onatah sings about equal rights and liberty for every person alive in Abya Yala who respects justice and truth.
