ALCHEMY: the anatomy of revolution

hybrid spirits realign
crafting plans and reading minds

rebels fight and percolate
arming shields with platinum plates

gaga strikes while banksy flies
systems change when graf-heads write

cylon powers reemerge
disparate traditions reconverge

prophecy and chemistry
artistry and alchemy

ministry that never sleeps
builds an altar rooted deep

our universe is vast but bounded
our resistance evolves–fierce and grounded

oppressive patterns are branded black
in hearts and minds–in law and fact

the sun gives life–water restores
the earth is our mother–sacred fire is our sword

the anarchist imagination runs like a river to the soul
the marxist matrix re-examined–transformed by new words

we need street fighters and street artists
we need analysis sharp as steel

our rebellion must live in the moment
keeping it lit–keeping it real

the future of the future will still contain the past
he legacy of revolutions shows that time goes slow–then goes fast…

we are living through a historic crossroads
between diametrically opposed visions for our world

we fight the threat of fascism
we fight for all that’s sacred–for karmic rebirth

there are barricades to build
and toxic patterns to be conquered

a polylingual phoenix is rising
from the ashes–cosmically powered

sweet dreams to our growing army
seduce the angels of light and life

spirits bless our growing resistance
with a gaze that pierces the dark of night
