This is the Swan Song

This is the swan song.....
Demonacrobaticommunist beer pong
twisted into misty fists
of sovietLiberal newDawns
In Daze of Knights
in masks and disArmoured
Rights and Lefts
that rise enMasse
to hail the new Pawns
as they are swapped
for Queens
and Kings
on the chessboard of Light
and Dark flights
of Fancy
Rapt Attention as sewn Dissension
begets new Dimensions
of Red Imposition

Get into position
My friends
Let's say this simply
so the useful idiots
Can begin to rescind
their terror
Let's open leaden lids
and wipe the mirror
Clean,
this dream is about to get
more twisted Yet,
Resistence just a false flag
assistance
from the Scripted Set
and Setting
as Debts
are counted and regrets embedded
in mounting Systems of Slavery

The flavor of this mess
Order out of chaos
as the agitators profess
....politik pointing to prolific policies
of pathetic arrest of sovereignty
as the blessed messengers
confess their incompetency

This is the Swan Song
I want to say it straight
but my finger-tongue
obfuscates
and nameless shame penetrates
reminiscences
of the defenseless days of burning stakes
and bludgeoned brains
laid to Waste
in bodies I've been alive inside
in times like these
in lives that bleed the broken neural codes
that fold me back
into Somatic Steeds
that weave my Soul through dreams
and Seams
too numerous and bold
to behold
in scenes that flicker through
golden Reels of Old.

This is the Swan Song
Born once more
to bore my way through this maze
of Youth and Age
in a new Play
written on the script of the burning Page
that smoulders
with the smoke of Burning Sages
On the stage of Time,
trapped by my own Will
to Feel the rage
and Weild the Wage of War up my Spine....
Just trying to climb my way out...
Rewind the fine twine
of the cage of mind
and threads that bind me
to this climate of crime
projected from inside the blind screen
of shouting demons
Acrobats of simulated semen
priming the new aeon
to line up....
One....
More....
Time.....
As the Cycles Ride the Tide
of this Massive Wave of mutating Mind.....
in a sideways glance
I watch
as the Trance takes over....
The melody of mania
dances through the crowds
as the Swan Song
Hovers......
frozen.....
