Giving Tree Of Hope

When the giving tree of hope is destroyed
by the tyrant and his gang of mad thieves,
Belenus escapes walls of paradise
with the last apple seed of divine truth
and wanders forlorn on Plutonian shore
where toads ask him if he can save the world.

Because the giving tree of hope is burned
by bombs that angels drop on paradise,
Belenus hides in dark cave of blind ghosts
who ask for the hottest stock market tips
while roots of trees break towers into dust
through oxidation that consumes steel frames.

Watching the giving tree of hope chopped down
by the Most Honest President on Earth,
Belenus hacks into computer banks
to transfer money to the bank accounts
of poor hardworking people of the world
who buy pickup trucks and shoot angels with guns.

Slouched in despair at giving tree of hope
where frisky children play with prancing goats,
Belenus reads satires of Juvenal
that condemn rampant corruption and vice
of villainaires who rule in Washington
by exploiting people for private gain.

Shocked that the giving tree of hope now rots
and blooms with poisoned fruit of arrogance,
Belenus joins Minerva and her squad
of justice warriors fighting for the right
of every person in this fertile land
to live free as they will, if they harm none.

If the giving tree of hope vanishes
from Garden of Eden in world war three,
Belenus plants ten thousand apple seeds
in parking lots of shiny shopping malls
so new global forest of righteousness
blooms from ruins of world civilization.

Concerned that the new giving tree of hope
struggles to be reborn from Bethlehem,
Belenus tames with spells of alchemy
ten-headed dragon rising from the sea
so he crowns himself Emperor of Earth
who rules with magic wand of equity.

Tending the healthy giving tree of hope
that blooms from corpses of tyrants and thieves,
Belenus hosts grand feast of equal rights
for all the people of the Earth to join
while Orpheus plays the lyre of Mercury
and Minerva sings about Kingdom Come.
