Mayday! Mayday!

 

Calling the lovers!

Come,

Sing songs of desire,

Breathe arias of love!

As the people are captive

to tunes they’ll never own

 

Calling the warriors!

Come,

Battle inequality now,

Challenge injustice!

As the people are divided

By barriers that aren’t there.

 

Calling the Magicians,

Come,

Share wisdom constantly,

Offer insights endlessly!

As the people are confused

By dogma they didn’t write.

 

Calling the kings,

Come,

Honour us all repeatedly,

Show us back to ourselves.

As the people are betray’d

By leaders who aren’t ours.

 

And you,

oh poets,

Come,

Write of priceless love,

Speak of equal paradise

So the people are blessed

By dreams they cherish and share.
