Screaming hordes
of banana laced citizens
pursue flippant domains
sequester insidious remains
and bolster corruption
the lightening attacks of
titans
reclaim the seasons of fire
insipid crumbs of civilizations
long dead retaliate in legion
formations
endearing the Pope
to their cause celebré
the plume rises above the masses
gathered to hear
his insinuation of victory
for God
imagination forces cessation
of hostilities
hostages are taken and
the Stockholm Syndrome
reigns complete
alas the seagull knows the
truth of the deception that
writhes within
encrusted scabbards that labour
for the recognition of guilds
reply in kind and seek the salvation
of the mighty seekers of the golden
dome who squat shoeless and
scamper about the vicinity of the
multiplex with access to the recesses
of reality
glittering ramparts of em-battlement
now abandoned inconsequenced
to the passing observer
who climbs the wall in search of
secrets of the ages
cringe in desperate enunciation
apologies are proffered
in chagrin-less humility
of the rising star's
brazen laughter
Aladdin bows
