Phoenix Wings Of Faith

When Midas flies his golden planes of greed
in Twin Towers of business and government
to destroy our global democracy,
we rally round bright flag of Liberty
that shines with stars of civil rights for all
and march ten thousand miles in smoke of war.

Our long march in the wilderness of fear
seems, to our hopeful hearts of angry pain,
to last forever in struggle for freedom,
so our fight against tyranny seems lost,
but if we stay together in our cause
we will arrive in paradise at last.

Each eighty years in history of mankind
we fight against the tyrant in gold tower
who imprisons Rapunzel with his greed,
and, though we sometimes lose our noble fight,
and must endure monarchs too many years,
we always rise on Phoenix wings of faith.

I write this dispatch from my prison cell,
hands chained by oligarchs afraid of truth,
with spirit of great leaders in the past
who preached salvation of honest intent
from sunless underworld of misery
to encourage you with passion for freedom.

Though our great institutions, that stood long
as secure bulwark against poverty
contrived from ignorance of fearful minds,
have been destroyed by gang of oligarchs
to constrain our hopes as factory slaves,
we will build better government for all.

We gather in libraries, full of books
that recount epic tales of noble heroes
fighting for freedom and justice for all,
to keep their doors open for everyone
to learn about true history of our state
constructed by oligarchs on backs of slaves.

Yet working people, who unite their hearts
in unions to secure their civil rights
for safe conditions and well-deserved wage,
assemble round governing pyramid
of social hierarchy where the rich lounge
to support the leader who keeps them fed.

Our new towers of business and government
will rise from ruins of failed tyranny
when cosmic herald of United Nations
emerges strong on Phoenix wings of faith
to secure equal rights for every soul
who lives in Heaven of our spinning Earth.
