Driven From Our Holy Land

Fast-forward to the hour of shocking death,
I wander blithely past my pristine tomb
to gather fragrant rosebuds while I may,
for if I exhume body of my bride
to retrieve book of poems I wrote for her,
I may find her long hair has filled her grave.

Retreat from battle of the faceless god
extends courageous warranty of fate
through base security of legal bonds
I purchase with blood money of fake wealth
when I bomb palaces of arrogance
to hide my weakness with false show of strength.

Excessive pride in my accomplishments
misleads attention of my ardent hope
to play knight of the woeful countenance
brave enough to attack glass tower banks
which I mistake for giants of despair
when I sally forth to guard my homeland.

The first step in assertion of false power
to prop frail institutes of tyranny
lies in convincing honest citizens
those immigrants escaping distant wars
are less than human, evil criminals
who should be driven from our Holy Land.

Caught in swift swirling tides of social change,
I program strict analysis to play
strange games of geopolitical chess
against opponents paranoid as I,
till our vicious conflict shatters respect
that breaks our contract with good government.

Alone in White House shining on the hill,
I ponder psychic force of divine will
which I assert through illegal decree
in desperate gamble adjusting its key
slight calibrated degrees just enough
to crash fortune with my blustering bluff.

Attempting to erase the populace
who dares to challenge my authority,
I fire conceptual missiles at the sky
where Ungod mocks my feeble show of strength
till blowback from my nationalist attack
crushes my illusive bubble of power.

I lead my grand parade of loyalty
in global war to dominate the truth
with lies I weave in tangled web of facts
against the Will of Heaven to mandate
strength of my empire that will never fall
till we are driven from our Holy Land.
