Polytropocity Of Wisdom

Since these are the days of exquisite sorrow,
we walk together on the broken road
without regret the center cannot hold
when our world view begins to fall apart,
though patched together by outdated creeds
that venerate some long-dead king as god.

Feasting with ghosts of the dead on high barrow,
on oak throne Odin carved from dragon bone,
I contemplate with knowing smirk of truth
that now, at two hundred and fifty years,
America has lasted just as long
as Tokugawa Shogunate of Nippon.

The sun that rises on their snow-capped mountains
sets first from mountains of America,
from Bokku to Nippon on rainbow wings,
yet weaving distant lands with mutual vibe
for seeking honor with the stoic grin,
Amaterasu in lush Oregon.

I wonder if we should lament collapse
of our aggressive colonizer state
founded by sailors from the British Isles
who used sea map that Mercator designed
to explore every land around the Earth
and rule empire with Scepter of Zambor.

Though shy Ieyasu, ruler of Mikawa,
just wanted to be left alone to live
in peaceful happiness with Tsukiyama,
his sweet bride graceful as the Sika deer,
she brings message from Takemikazuchi
that he is destined to unite the state.

Somewhere out in land of America
some humble Ieyasu, or brave Liu Bang,
who manages affairs of his small town,
feels Hidden Dragon stirring in his heart
with mission to unite our fractured state
and rebuild what Midas has torn apart.

Some complicated man of many turns,
urged by polytropocity of wisdom,
will surf the rising tide of revolution
to lead the honest people of our land
against oppressors who exploit our hearts,
and found Zarathia on love for truth.

Because I like to contradict myself,
since I contain multitudes of great souls
embodied by people across our land,
I hear voice of America express
desire for every person to live free
with equal justice of world liberty.

Orpheus searches land of America for incarnation of Ieyasu or Liu Bang to follow as he founds Zarathia on ruins of the Great American Empire.
