Wake Devil Of Hunger

If I dig well of hope deep in my heart
enough to reach the darkness of true love,
I may find everlasting source of truth
to water fields of sorrow with brave tears
so wheat may flourish in bleak field of skulls
as rays of sunlight transformed into food.

When rain falls not on sunbaked hills of fear
and trees groan thirsty in fragile despair,
I wake devil of hunger in my heart
and offer body of desire as sacrifice
so blood of selfless love may crack the sky,
releasing tears of joy to drench the world.

Weird beauty of illusion in my mind,
which my eyes perceive on surface of things,
emanates from essential core of being
and motivates intent of my fierce heart
to strive with passion to transcend contempt
so I build wealth on program of success.

Asserting domination of control
to manage wild chaotic swirls of change,
I breathe ethereal beauty of respect
that channels fierce aggression of blind fear
through weird disfigured mask of angry god
who wastes his energy in futile rage.

Rendered impotent through reckless exertions,
when he lashes out misdirected strikes
at shadows he regards as enemies,
the greedy tyrant stumbles as he flails
against honest walls of reality
till he expends his rage in useless deeds.

Still able to assess dire circumstance
that traps our bodies in perplexing maze
of bitter regret for impulsive choices,
we bond our sore hearts in courageous quest
to fight against cruel tyranny of greed
so we can free our souls from unjust laws.

Though we seem to be scattered in despair,
wandering pointlessly in the waste land,
and rail with ineffective eloquence
that details crimes against humanity,
we trust that bold providence will provide
clear-eyed messiah to lead us from Hell.

United in one purpose to achieve
strong democracy through justice for all,
we join our hearts in communal respect
to rise from rubble of our fallen nation
and build new world state based on Liberty
with courage to defend our equal rights.
