Specter Of The Desert Seer

Entranced by specter of the desert seer
who walks unknown in cities of the world,
I search for wisdom in eyes of the owl
that brings to honest hands of Liberty
bright Lamp of Truth and Book of Names and Deeds
so she guides our quest to the Promised Land.

Amused by specter of the desert seer
who highlights crimes of people grasping power,
I join his revolution to transform
paradigm of our shared global world view
to nurture needs of women nursing life
so we thrive in lush garden of fruit trees.

Inspired by specter of the desert seer
who haunts vast crowded maze of city streets,
I strum the long-lost lyre of Mercury
to conjure demons of our aching hearts
so we rebel against oppressive thieves
and restore functions of our liberal state.

Confused by specter of the desert seer
who hums riddles on television screens,
I wear electric mask of Jupiter
and fight thieves who clutch wheel for Ship of State
to sail past iceberg of their fascist greed
and land in garden where Hesperus rules.

Engaged by specter of the desert seer
who channels flames of light in crystal eyes,
I build piston engine Barsanti sketched
to power chariot of Ezekiel
as time machine for zooming fast through space
so I can find Fields of Elysium.

Annoyed by specter of the desert seer
who teaches me to calculate my fate,
I choose to exercise strict self-control
based on brave Apollonian will to live,
fueled by fierce Dionysian love for truth
till I transform into God I create.

Designed by specter of the desert seer
who programs how my brain perceives the world,
I navigate my way through many turns
in winding journey through the wilderness
beyond the waste land to the Promised Land
where I build Heaven from ruins of Hell.

Uncharmed by specter of the desert seer
who casts illusions of religious faith,
I wake from timeless cavern of my heart
spirit of Telluria, Mother Earth,
who molds my soul from eyes of Jupiter
so wise Saturnus lives again in me.

Orpheus reveals himself to be the specter of the desert seer who appears with vision to help us build Zarathia from ruins of the fallen American Empire.
