Nameless Son Of Jove

Draped in ermine robe of authority
with assignment to adjudicate laws
designed to rein aggressive lust of men
within bounds of respect for other men,
I wield sulfurous bolt of thunderous Jove
from Merciful Heaven to humble pride.

Though wrath of Oberon attends my heart
with plot to train each wild child of dark woods
as loyal warrior of my scouting train,
I channel passion to manage estate
of rich productive farms with guardian gangs
while lounging in the spangled starlight sheen.

Though I am merry wanderer of the night,
I jest on stage in temples of rich feast
to play role of Oberon with fierce joy
that sparks sweet laughter of relief from men
who sweat in labor to tend fields of wheat
which flushes resentment from their hard hearts.

Dismissed with mocking jest of pungent fear,
I twirl in whistling winds by flashing sea,
lost in contagious fog of jealousy,
but fall fatigued by stone-paved fountain pool
full of crackling leaves instead of fresh spring,
and weep for beauty drowned in tears of truth.

Disturbed by crackling shifts of jolted time
which readjusts world view of what is true,
I realize wealthy mean in towers of glass
conspire to enslave common citizens
to labor in vast factories of regret,
producing goods that profit bank accounts.

Alone on yellow sands where Neptune dwelled,
I watch fragile ships tossed by swelling waves,
pregnant with products of slave factories,
so I search in my heart for warrior soul
of Jupiter or Zeus that strengthens me
with courage to oppose cruel tyranny.

Heart pierced by love-shaft blind Cupid discharged,
I rise transformed from tomb of Oberon
to lead lost boys disenfranchised by hate
in noble army of brave warriors
to follow Minerva on bold crusade
dedicated to restore Liberty.

While my peculiar quest for truth is bound
with rational armor of my strict mind,
I grasp electric bolt of honest hope
as nameless son of Jove, son of Yahweh,
to reign as king in nutshell of heart
which frees our world democracy to thrive.
