Seven Sons Of Jupiter

Driving across waste land of history,
I find the Third Man of Antarctic Quest
still hitchhiking across America,
so I give him ride to Zarathia
where he gives me lost Lyre of Mercury
as reward for helping him escape Hell.

Though I am entirely my own real self
who speaks with voice of fake authority,
I hide behind cracked mask of Orpheus
so you cannot see who I really am,
as if it matters after I am dead,
since I am ghost of sorrow in your head.

I stride along strange river in bright woods
to map new strategy for civil war
in noble mission of the broken heart
to restore democracy in our land
pilfered by gang of thieves in business suits
who proclaim their right to control the dirt.

Shocked by excessive arguments of faith,
I flee cathedral of the mocking clown
to find Ahura Mazda in dark cave
where he plays eight levels of psychic chess
against the seven sons of Jupiter
over who controls fields of bubbling oil.

Ever since Orpheus with nimble hands
saved Ophelia drowning in the river,
they have established infrastructure base
on which we will construct our new world order
which helps the seven sons of Jupiter
overthrow all greedy tyrants and kings.

Inside the Crippled Pegasus Cafe
in Paris down on the Parc Rives de Seine,
I find Hegel, Marx, and Lenin relaxed
as they watch current world events unfold
according to their social formulas,
so I steal wings of Icarus to fly.

Just as I soar above bright golden clouds
to bring Good News to Lord Hyperion,
Orpheus shoots me down with Gun of Fate,
then teaches me to map the water pipes
which channel fresh water to every home
while Jesus and Odin fight for World Crown.

As seventh son of Jupiter, I play
role of the jester who exposes crimes
committed by the hungry oligarchs
who hoard wealth of the Earth in crumbling tombs
where skeletons of dead gods dance in rain
that washes all our graves down to the sea.

Orpheus teaches the seven sons of Jupiter how to organize workers of the world who unite to assert their legal rights to life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness.
