Till We Free Eden

Romulus has come to America
to steal sword of Spartacus from his tomb
and lead wild men who spring from dragon teeth
in holy war against tyrant of gold
since Midas has allied with Hannibal
to beat heads of upstarts with Bible clubs.

When Jason and the rowdy Argonauts
invade vast cities of America
to kidnap Alice lost in Wonderland,
brave Romulus stands before the locked gate
to face cruel Goliath in civil war
when he shoots David in back of the head.

If laughing Grendel breaks down jeweled gates
to drag the Weeping Woman from her church,
bloodstained Medea rises from her grave
to hurl head of Odysseus at Apollo
who asks brooding Hamlet for good advice
on how to fight for Liberty and Truth.

Since Jupiter asks Artemis for help
to fight invasion of the Viking horde,
who swarm in rage from sea to shining sea,
she leads protests with the bloody flag
to drive Grendel and Goliath from Heaven
and stop them arresting innocent Elves.

Since Nobody knows who is right or wrong,
or what side anyone else should be on,
we shout at each other in crowded streets
while Grendel and Goliath in black duds
beat Jason and Apollo on the head
for opposing Midas in the Gold House.

Dragging innocent citizens from cars,
and locking them in secret prison camps,
Grendel and Goliath, with guns of faith,
declare they will arrest those who dare
obstruct justice in name of Liberty,
and detain people who are the wrong sort.

Alone in homes across Zarathia,
good people of America conspire
to oppose Midas and his gang of thugs
lead by Grendel and Goliath in crusade
to cleanse undesirables from the land
with hammer of Thor in their bloody hands.

Assembling people of America,
Romulus with Excalibur in hand
welcomes Arthur to Land of the Free
who takes hand of Artemis with new hope
and leads us to oppose cruel tyranny
till we free Eden from the gang of thieves.
