Alluvial Circus

We live in a swiveled cyclotron smash-mouthed sequenced squash

Wandering through the doors of Beenwa and so a certain panache

But some wiggle down the stream to the falls and climb toward the exit

Managing souffle’ and onion soup on a bed of brazed carrot sticks

But soon they light the candles of boredom and infidelity get- kicks

Wanton flesh-eaters with selfish appetites and back-pocket bulges

But leaders of the light, spirits of compassion and love remain

And see the white rabbit running toward the banquet, renamed

Holding the promise of hope glistening with crystalline honor and truth

We the hordes mash rabbit potatoes into cornstarch mittens

Trying to survive on fish bones and cedar berry kittens

But some are waking up to the reality and the history of serfdom

Fooling most of the people all of the time with a curtained magic act

We believe the words of fools and deceiver patriots calling lies, fact

The lurking reptilian lizards have morphed and seek domination

Oh, It can’t be. Jack and Jill went down the hill to see Cinderella

But “Clockwork Orange” is the only play in town at the Marshmallow

Beware of the genetically modified popcorn and fluoride colas

But in the nights, the knights white are mounting their stallions

Archangel Michael has been called into battle with winged galleons

And the clock is ticking as the vermin attempt to escape retribution

I’m sure many criticized Paul Revere as crying British wolf bluff

Many paid dearly for their doubt. Be aware, it’s not the dragon, Puff

The cycle appears to again, to “try men’s souls”; fear is not an option.

“With all your knowledge, get understanding”
