The Piss Off Parade Is Coming To Town
The you can piss off parade
Collective jar of flies
Made its final rounds.
Chew the scenery
If you have a meagre minute…
“I’ve had enough”
The muse screamed
And deaf were the envious
Though she gave up the ghost
Vacating its former lot
Among the plebeian potluck
Spooned out for the naive brigade.
She drew her intake vapours
Through a smouldered wick
Cracked desert spillover
From cracked arrow
And pointed purse lips
For how the colossal truism
Or what have you
(If you’re starved of vocabulary)
Is that the eminent dim bulbs
Overstepping both logic and reality’s fist
Are shrouded by way of turncoat mists
But would you listen to her
Should you stumble upon a poem exiled
To an unflavoured isle
Seasoned ripe
But doomed to obscure plains
With pettiness and pride
The silly culprit
Pulled trickster lobster back
From an even sillier rabbit’s hat.
The brittle hearted muse
Was born to battle
Amongst a sunken halo’s
Blistered starfall
Charged with disintegrating furies
Their bloom blood ballet
Winking above tedium’s crest
Across a charcoal broiled sky.
And this is a pointed message for you
And this is a liturgy for I
When ignoble parasites crawl meekly
And kiss Jesus cheeks
With Judas ire
Best to step on them
Goeth the time ragged rhyme
For the vainglory stride
Crushes the poetic spirit
Because Dassendorf boots
Resound a drill hammer echo
Recalling the collective stampede…
And serves to the discerning
And additionally the wise
That the blind leading the blind
Cursed with quick reflective
Yet cursory flitting eyes
Are a servanthood of ingrates
Becoming the very machine
They once railed against
In a black and blue melee
Or an insider fight
Warring with each other
And eaten by homely pride.
Stepping off the floated parade
Says one who is wise
Because you’ll waste all of your pearls
On the backstabbing swine.
