Part 1 Annunciation Gabriel, an angel, a messenger of God Greeted Mary the virgin And told her about her son. Her child would be both man and God To be granted Jacob's reign, A Kingdom never to end Conceived of the Holy Spirit Power of the Most High To be called the Son of God Then Mary said, "Here I am, The servant of the Lord, Let it be with me by thy word." Glory to God in the highest heaven And on Earth Peace among men Part 2 Wedding at Cana Jesus Christ and His trusted friends Attended a wedding feast In Cana of Galilee When the wine supply came to an end She told her son, "They have no wine." "Woman," He said, "Is this our right Concern? Now is not yet my time." Then a servant caught her sight Mary the mother of our God Told the servants to obey her son Seeing six large water jars He ordered them filled without pause The head waiter tasted the water and found it to be wine Jesus Christ had revealed His Glory. This was His very first sign Part 3 Guadelupe You give me roses On a Winter day As I climb the hill You crush the serpents Who loom in my way Yet you stand so still You choose to carry In your blessed womb The creator of all You make me happy I fear not the tomb Your choice freed me from the fall O virgin Theotokos, hope of all Christians Protect, preserve, and save those who hope in you

Albatross Over the empty ocean Searching the silent sea Hovering in slow motion All seems lost A sorrowful mystery No fish on the vast horizon Beyond what the eye can see Civilized decay A shadowy Merovingian Clinging to entropy Like a seized-up, worn-out engine Grinding down the day Covering the sea with oil Filthy sky of misery Toiling the toxic soil Is it not too late To avert this real disaster To recognize our role Is steward, not that of master? Destiny or fate The sum of all our choices This world is what we mold Guided by God's voices

Last Night I dreamed of Chairman Mao Watching his TV A photograph of Che Guevara Sat beside the beer The Chairman belched and changed the channel Nine to Five then Three "There’s never anything on," he said Staring at the screen Last Night I saw the revolution Used to sell some shoes The troops and tanks of the red parade Right past Lenin’s tomb Silicone Anorexics smiling Laughing at the News Leon Trotsky’s refrigerator Now I want one too. The Empires and their greedy rulers Crumble into dust Dictators break the backs of the people To feed their insane lusts Global Markets gyrating wildly First the boom then bust God alone will reign forever In Him put your trust Last Night I dreamed of Reinhard Heydrich And his new machine Dissolving all your worldly problems Washing it all clean The sales are soaring up the chimneys Soon it will be seen The empty streets, the desolation Wake me from this dream
