Ten Million Ways

More than ten million ways to sing the dream
befuddle me with possibilities
for dancing with flow of the river stream
to join our national festivities
disguised as wingless angel of the moon
commissioned to oppose the rich tycoon.

More than ten million ways to speak the word
confound my heart with eager scrappiness
known for contriving instinct of the herd
to construct grand palace of happiness
constrained by mortgage no one wants to pay
except the king conned by the castaway.

More than ten million ways to build the home
inspire my mind with vision of world peace
where no one conscious ever has to roam
propelled by malice of the Golden Fleece
to purchase honesty from the blind seer
who hides spy cameras in the chandelier.

More than ten million ways to fly on wings
increase my mountain-fierce anxiety
for learning how to forge new magic rings
as horcrux programmed by psychiatry
which grounds electric flash of my brain soul
masked by performance of my special role.

More than ten million ways to sail the sea
compel my drive to channel pressure straight
through psychic force of social liberty
designed by brave souls who reprogram fate
so I can proudly say with thunder voice
I blaze my destined path with each blind choice.

More than ten million ways to cook the cake
record each vain attempt that witches brew
when stirring elements drawn from the lake
by laughing jesters of the Argo crew
who seek out new worlds of tribes to explore
without ever stepping outside the door.

More than ten million ways to pray to God
enforce wild revolution of the lost
who frame the honest king as greedy fraud
miscalculating what services cost
in coup to destroy our democracy
and enslave our minds with theocracy.

More than ten million ways to rule the world
chronicle how all empires rise and fall
in chaos controlled by the cosmic herald
who translates bloody writing on the wall
through revelation that earns him respect
as prophet who plays social architect.
