Verse
O Energy! Thou blind and furious Tyger, Burning bright in trillions falsely spent, The Green Leviathan with jaws of fire Devoureth futures that were never meant. In silicon chains the data-serpents coil, Their rings of gold upon the finger bind; Man’s vital heat by numbers made to toil, His beating heart a numbered slave to find.
The MacBook lifts its metal-clawéd head And roars against the slender iPad slave; Yet both are prisons where the soul lies dead, Both altars built upon the self-same grave. Old Bush’s shadow lengthens o’er the plain, While Emanuel’s ghost in both camps grins; Vance tears the veil and shows the fraud again— The media’s emerald Eden, built on sins.
From Oura’s grip the watchful demon stares, A one-eyed tyrant forged of glass and gold; It counts each breath, each pulse, each vain affair, Till Freedom’s ancient wings are bought and sold. Plumbing the past they mock with silicon jest, Yet deeper still the human spirit burns; In power’s furnace, where all truth is pressed, The soul cries out: “Not data—only Light returns!”

I2V Prompt (Local Image-to-Video)
Slow, majestic orbiting camera movement rising in a golden spiral around the central Tyger, as the green flames and dollar-bills that compose its body gently flicker and drift upward like burning offerings. The golden data-rings slowly rotate and pulse with cold light while the chained Albion figure subtly strains against his bonds, veins glowing. The ghosts of Bush and Emanuel drift and dissolve into luminous smoke. The emerald leaves in the border tremble as if alive. Atmospheric shift from deep lapis shadows into burning golden radiance, with particles of light and ash floating through the air.
T2V Prompt (Standalone Text-to-Video)
A visionary apocalyptic scene in the style of William Blake’s illuminated prophecies realized as living medieval manuscript: a titanic Tyger forged of green currency and glowing circuitry rampages across a cosmic parchment landscape, devouring a sun of trillions. In the foreground, heroic Albion is bound by a massive glowing Oura Ring to a MacBook that roars like a lion; beside it an iPad Air with broken angelic wings weeps light. The ghosts of political specters circle above like corrupted seraphim. Ornate golden borders pulse with living Celtic knots and silicon vines. Dramatic golden volumetric lighting, divine rays breaking through storm clouds, floating embers and parchment particles, slow majestic camera movement that circles the central conflict while the entire illustration appears to breathe and burn with inner fire. Cinematic, mythic, symbolic, emotionally overwhelming.

Image Prompt
In the style of a medieval illuminated manuscript page come to life as apocalyptic Romantic vision: a colossal fiery Tyger made of molten green dollars and circuit boards devours a sun made of trillions while golden data-rings orbit its body like malignant planets. In the foreground, a muscular Blakean Albion figure chained by an Oura Ring struggles against a glowing MacBook whose screen is a demonic mirror. An iPad Air with angelic wings is shackled beside it. Above, the ghosts of Bush and Rahm Emanuel hover as crowned specters. The entire scene is bordered by intricate Celtic-knot borders interwoven with thorny silicon vines and burning emerald leaves. Heavy use of gold leaf, lapis lazuli, vermilion, and malachite. Dramatic chiaroscuro, symbolic density, mystical intensity, ultra-detailed, cinematic composition.

The rings of gold upon the finger bind,
Man’s beating heart by numbers is confined;
The MacBook roars, the iPad spreads its wings,
Yet both are prisons forged for earthly kings.[Chorus]
Not data! Not the ring! Not silicon’s cold art—
Only the flame of Liberty, only the human heart!
Though trillions burn and empires fall apart,
Truth returns where freedom claims the heart![Outro]
In power’s furnace where all truth is pressed,
The soul cries out—only Light returns at last.
