Virgin Mary Of America

Relentless beauty of the daffodil,
so golden bright in delicate contempt,
inspires the Virgin Mary to rebel
against oppression of the police state,
hands shackled by gold cuffs of blind desire
that chain her to the dirt-road country shack.

Eyes glowing with divinity of faith,
the Virgin Mary stares beyond the world
to see bright paradise of honesty
beneath the crumbling town of broken dreams
with generous heart of social purity
providing silent energy of love.

Asserting calm respect of sacred faith,
the Virgin Mary plots conspiracy
to shatter absurd paradigm of power
based on presuppositions of esteem
that prop patriarchy through arrogance
which still enforce domestic slavery.

Waiting tables in the greasy spoon diner
between the railroad and the factory,
the Virgin Mary brings liberal plates
of scrambled eggs with fried bacon and toast
for farmers and truck drivers who admire
graceful beauty of her celestial eyes.

Dressed in simple yellow blouse and green skirt,
the Virgin Mary of America
attends the white church on the country road
but always sits in the last lonely pew
where she soft sings hymns of piety
and quietly listens to sermons of faith.

"We gather every week to pray with faith
for Jesus to return and rule the world
as global monarch who unites all nations,
so, when the greedy scammer crowns himself
King of America with Crown of Thorns,
we should not be surprised at his vain pride."

Shocked at intensity of her soft voice,
everyone in church turns around and stares
at prophetic eyes of the Virgin Mary
that blaze with righteous anger of the Lord,
then they all vote to excommunicate
that evil woke feminist from their church.

Walking alone down unpaved country roads,
past rundown shacks where poor families live,
barely surviving with little to eat
since all government services were cut,
the Virgin Mary kneels by the plum tree
and cries for America lost to greed.

Orpheus searches thousands of small towns sea to shining sea to find the Virgin Mary who will save America from tyranny.
