Fake Wings Of Icarus

Searching for heroes to defend the people
against exploitation of oligarchs,
I fly over lands of America
forever on fake wings of Icarus
till I fall exhausted back in my room
where faceless ghosts call out my name for help.

Translating songs of trees to clever jokes
that mock obsessive greed of oligarchs,
I stumble through maze of America
forever on fake wings of Icarus
despite belief of all my loyal fans
that I can drive Godzilla back to Hell.

Leaping into swirling portals of time
to wrestle oligarchs on every world,
I map multiverse of America
forever on fake wings of Icarus
beyond the waste land of our singing skulls
alone down highway of loud radios.

Kicking soccer-ball moon across the sky
to score more goals against cruel oligarchs,
I study ruins of America
forever on fake wings of Icarus
long fallen from grace of democracy
and fettered by the chains of tyranny.

Recording soundtrack of the howling wolf
to fight the vampire oligarchs for wealth,
I deconstruct fate of America
forever on fake wings of Icarus
before the second coming of the lord
who claims he alone rules the universe.

Patrolling frontier of our nation-state
to defend Garden of Eden from thieves,
I plow lush wheatfields of America
forever on fake wings of Icarus
to free migrant workers from slavery
so every man can farm his private land.

Painting murals that depict social heroes
fighting conspiracies of oligarchs,
I maintain justice in America
forever on fake wings of Icarus
though I fall into sea of twisted laws
to battle truth-starving Cetus of greed.

Climbing Mount Parnassus in dawn light
to seek oracle of the singing skull,
I calculate faith of America
forever on fake wings of Icarus
for Orpheus Christ in temple of truth
who prophesies rise of Zarathia.

Orpheus walks the vast maze of America, singing hymns as countless people join his march for justice and freedom for every person living in this land.
