Blue Eagle

I’ve seen an evil man clad in green
Harassing a lad with some gestures obscene
Just to try and spark outrage and ruin our Monday
Comes from a place where there are no dreams
And all good faith has dissolved into schemes
A poison pill which distorts credulity astray

Blue eagle, fly eagle fly, casting shadows upon the fruited plain
Fly eagle, blue eagle fly, we will be all marked eventually with that stain

The dark ages will commence in a week
And all innovation will be shelved if not tweaked
With lack of purpose eroding the person to her core – and what for?
Merchants of death in control of the floor
Crass and corrupt cronies charged with minding the store
And never letting a good crisis go away to waste, it’s such a disgrace

Blue eagle, fly eagle fly, agitprop for a corrupting reign
Fly eagle, blue eagle fly, you must believe in change but only as we feign
Consume the fruits of strange through frivolous days of decay

I can see right through your crass disguise
Your mindless smirk and your vacant eyes
With empty rhetoric that makes you such a simple bore, so mediocre

Can’t steal the vision from my eye, nor the prowess at my fingertips
Can’t cast derision at my cry, nor plant distortion upon my lips
Can’t break the vision in my mind, nor my ability to see within
I dig the universe that’s mine, much optimism is my only sin
I want to win, I want to win
And constitute and think in ways, and institute productive play

Can’t steal the vision from eye, nor sell me false hope as a destiny
Nor make assumptions that I’ll buy, your crazy fantasies, your frivolous craze
Your naive fallacies in grievous days of decay, blue eagle fly away
