Angel Of Star Fire

Startled awake by angel of star fire,
who haunts our nation with wings of despair,
I lounge on my back porch and play guitar
while King Midas destroys America
so he can crown himself king of the world,
but he drowns when he tries to walk on water.

Inspired by hymn from angel of star fire,
we gather at the river of cracked skulls
that floods city mazes with crystal tide
which flows by the electric throne of Death
where wood statue of God erupts in flames
when Aaron casts serpent wand in the grass.

Longing to fly with angel of star fire,
I race bicycle down steep hill of hope
with arms of faith outspread to imitate
eagerness of Icarus to transcend
mundane routines of daily rituals
designed to maintain life through self-control.

Eager to play with angel of star fire,
I carve chess pieces from statues of gods
which I found buried in mud of the well
so we perform our roles on stage of power
to protect Liberty in the High Tower
where she sings with blue bird of bitterness.

Trapped in life maze with angel of star fire,
who sits on crystal throne of glowing clouds
beneath binary rainbow of respect,
I refract currency of my star soul
through prism heart of her kaleidoscope
when Minerva returns from Cave of Truth.

Freed from prison by angel of star fire,
I map whole history of our human race
on time-animated atlas of Earth
so we can navigate landscape of ghosts
to build from ruins of America
new land of justice called Zarathia.

Deployed to war by angel of star fire,
I wield Excalibur with clumsy grace,
as warden who guards the garden of God,
which I forged from stone in Cave of Illusions
to lead world revolution of the caring
against all tyrants and kings in glass towers.

Reborn from fear as angel of star fire,
I stand on ziggurat of Mother Ishtar
to strum the lyre of Mercury with faith
when she casts spell of brave enlightenment
to prevent Midas from fracking the world,
so we join United Nations of Earth.
