ancient myths meet modern rites
karmic lovers conjoin at night
orion’s arrow pierced medusa’s hide
serpents strike-gorge-then die
icarus flew to heaven’s door
wings hand-made withstood no more
burned alive on nirvana’s shore
giving birth to hellenic lore
rosa told the story of sisyphus
moving rocks in a toxic grip
class war maps our karmic trip
marching hard with chain-mailed fists
prohomo beauty rising like dawn
inspired by dance floor anthems and freedom songs
imbibing elixirs and drawing straws
building power and growing strong
