Attached to the world of star-breathing beings,
I plant the peach pit in soil of my heart
so tree that blossoms from sorrow of my flesh
provides fresh fruit for the People to eat
who dance and sing with spinning of the Earth
till we all dissipate back to star dust.
Attached to the world of water-drunk trees,
I float in sun-glittering river stream
that flows among tall vine-entangled oaks
where ravens explain the meaning of life
till I catch the brown trout with hungry hands
and roast it to eat in cricketing dusk.
Attached to the world of arrogant gods,
I carve their souls on marble monuments
where starving people bow with bowls of food
till we rise up from slaving in their fields
to break the shackles of bitter despair
and follow our savior to paradise.
Attached to the world of exploding flowers,
I unfold wings of my ancestral bodies
till I assimilate their dreams of hope
in virtual model of our perceived world
so I can run with horses on the prairie
when I escape death maze of Babylon.
Attached to the world of curious explorers,
I climb the highest mountain in the world
to find the cloud-hidden stairway to Heaven
but I find no god outside of my brain
so I become clear thunder of the truth
that programs the world wide web of computers.
Attached to the world of Democracy,
I march with millions in ten thousand cities
to declare with holy voice of the People
that we will fight for Liberty and Justice
against the thieves disguised as oligarchs
to make them keep their foul hands off our lives.
Attached to the world of ghost-painted books,
I chronicle fall of America,
destroyed by greedy gangs of control-freaks,
which cultivates birth of Zarathia
that will usher in our new Golden Age
where everyone lives together in peace.
Attached to the world of psychotic kings,
I struggle to rise from grave of my fear
till Muse in glowing robe of honesty
gives me sword of Beowulf to fight
dragon of greed to arrest his destruction
so we gather to sing among fruit trees.

Orpheus measures our attachment to the world of confusing events to analyze sociological process of fighting for freedom against tyranny.
