Lamp Of Holy Light

When proud Superbus struts in halls of power
to assert dominance of his contempt,
worms convert bodies of great kings to dirt
transforming arrogant flesh into flower
of beautiful indifference, exempt
from social laws of that blind angels exert.

Weeping over tragic fate of Lucretia,
I kneel in her temple by Nemi Lake
where Face of Diana gazes at me
from dark depths of emotional inertia
with knowledge to perceive the real from fake
I need to support world democracy.

Though none dare challenge bold Arician king
who reigns as tyrant of the Golden Bough,
yet Virbius trains in secret to defeat
arrogant bully who clutches Star Ring
in vain attempt to prove he owns the cow
that tramples his serpent soul with her feet.

The king who slays the slayer shall be slain,
declares Tiresias in the sacred grove
where Artemis weaves tapestry of fate
to show ambition for power is vain,
for those who hoard our social treasure trove
will be destroyed by their own bitter hate.

Still wearing short skirt and long hunting boots,
Diana treads wood path among tall trees,
and aims sharp arrow with her taut moon bow
with eye of perceptive insight, then shoots
swift leaping deer, that moans in soft spring breeze,
to defeat the mad king in mythic show.

Silenced by terror of harsh tyranny
that Superbus imposes on our land,
we wait for bold Orestes to return
from Parnassus and save democracy
by slaying the tyrant with his red right hand,
then wear the crown of power he must earn.

Despite attempts to twist verified truth
with lies through insults at his enemies,
the tyrant king who killed the bully king
hides with shame of crime when messiah sleuth
sends Strophius to retrieve psychic keys
and jail Superbus with Hadean Ring.

Heartbroken he could not protect Verginia
from lust of the tyrant in hall of power,
Icilius leads revolution to fight
for Liberty enforced by brave Justicia
who frees Rapunzel from the Ivory Tower
so she can bear the Lamp of Holy Light.

Orpheus leads Rapunzel as she walks with Lamp of Holy Light among ruins of America to guide refugees of war to Temple of Diana who welcomes all to the Feast of Freedom.
