THE TALE

image

It was a cold night

Sweatshirt type weather

Oops, a hoodie

An unexpected meeting

Accidentally sitting

Near one another

Fleshly arousal

Tingles upon the skin

Hair that stood on end

Though eyes

Never made contact

Spiritual eyes did

Familiar spirits

Well known to one another

Though, never known at all

The energy embrace

Would not be broken

‘Til the time

Had expired

The journey

Would be hard to over come

Though that imitation love

Like wild growing flowers

Don’t be fooled, just weeds

Exploding from the ground

Beholding the imitation bloom

This rhetoric is from

An imitation romance novel

The voice of beauty; all but silenced

A cockroach, sits in the corner

The Contemplator Contemplating, leads to madness

Well, so they say

Hope, creates another day

Long as the moon decides to stay

The minds focus on time, not given

Body regrets, time, that has passed

All but walk on a spinning ball

Leading, to the same destination

Ignorance, destroys what intelligence brings

Human value

Less than a dog, these days

Give an overabundance

Approbation on the great difference

between a civilized barbarian

Or that of a savage

Only showing

That one can speak

While the other, just mumbles

Tongues, best served to be removed

Yet the two of them

Still can't think

Portion of the world

Expects a monkey in a space ship

To save them

While another section

Expects some, drunken river boat captain

To lead them

Few understand

They rule their own universe....

Answers quickly to a bold tongue

A powerful mind

Only for the contemplator

Who is bum shit crazy

Of course

Labeled, by the brilliant ones in society

The two classes of barbarians

Fight for an argument

The monkey in the spaceship

holding a banana in one hand

A golf club in the other

Races across a moonlit sky

Off, to another fund raiser

Meanwhile

A riverboat captain

Pours another one of his famous Rum N Cokes

The Contemplator contemplating

Stops to ask......

"What is the reason for an argument other than to enforce

what opinion should be followed and the attitude of I rule?"

The crowd looks in dumbness

So, the Contemplator asks again

"What did one really rule but a simple idea?"

The drunken river boat captain

That everyone seems to want

Finishes his 15th Jack N Coke

Scratching his ass

Gets the great idea

He is ready to lead the ranks

But first

He needs to get his drunk ass

On the deck of the boat

The result of the mindless

That lets him think

Yet again

Makes another, irrational mistake

Taking it upon himself

Making the contemplator, walk the plank

Meanwhile

The river washes away such futility

Floating, face down

Only purpose

Feeding fish

Tear away at flesh

Exposing bone

Soon will rest

Where not even angels tread

The Contemplator

Must have been insane

All but lost

Thoughts leading to much distress

According to the drunken

Wisdom inspired

River boat captain

Thinking, too much of a dangerous task

Then one day, the moon realizes

He's not even getting paid for what he does

People, on the ball that spins

so, ungrateful

He just says

"Fuck this!"

All the while

Barbarians fight

Over who won the argument

The cockroach looks up then states

"What a chaotic mess this is gonna be!"

In the crazy event that follows

Civilized barbarians just wet themselves

Look at the monkey in the sky

Flying a spaceship

The MONKEY

Making some chimp noises that translate

"Fuck me, I can't land this pile!"

Then The captain of the vessel

Who was so quick

To toss the contemplator to the sea

Sitting in the corner sucking his thumb

While a billion, pissed off non-talking barbarians

stand over him with clubs

The voice of The Contemplator

That had the balls to ask

Now all but bones

Laying on the bottom, of some shit infested sea bed

Where not even angels tread

All the fully-wise river boat captain can say

as his brains are getting bashed

"Bullets would feel better than clubs!"

The Monkey, flying the spaceship

CRASHES into Mt. Everest

Civilized barbarians, are all but wrecked

Meanwhile, the cockroach

That no one seemed to notice

Is doing his song and dance

For in the end; he's the only one left

For a quick prank, I made a bumper sticker. It stated Fuck the Pope. I placed it on the rear of the Holy Priest’s car. Then had the pleasure of watching him drive around town. A few that laughed with me. He couldn’t decipher why all the stares, why all the laughter. Mrs. Goody helped him remove it. What beasts could do such things? Always someone to ruin the fun. These are just humans playing gods. None have the answers, no, not one!

It’s not impossible to climb out of the abyss
