A mirage

The future's a mirage
This life's a carnivale
When the Animals run
Hide in Camouflage

What lies in tarot cards?
Chased by Cloaked men
We live in Babylon
We've lost our Temperance

All photos: Sepia
All food tastes Umami (savory)
We drown in Firegold, yo (clockworkorange: booze)
Our children Bezoomy (clockworkorange: crazy)

To the dumb: "Ephphatha" (biblical: Jesus says to a dumb (non-speaking) person, so she can speak)
Know your Rabonai (biblical:master)
A king of kings....Emperor Selassie

Praise the Messiah
Faith is Dorogay (clockworkorange: very important)
Strong as Destrier (biblical:warhorse)
But the name is Malakai

These times are Sinister
Its time for a Collocol (clockworkorange: call for something)
A fake Minister
Runs to bed with Jezebel

A rogue Scallywag
That pulls Shenanigan (tricks)
We need the Vellocet (clockworkorange: amphetamines)
Some just need Nepathean (antidote)

But man is Transient (short-lived)
Even Illuminati
Shine the Pyramid sun
Under the Gemini

And ask the Haruspex (man who does fortune-telling from entrails of sacrificed animals)
Truth in Telepathy
Some say its Balderdash (nonsense)
Some call it malarky (foolish talk)

But find the Pollyklef (clockworkorange: skeleton key)
Behind the Cataract (latin: waterfall)
Dance in Petrichor (smell of fresh rain)
Run and use the Battle-ax

To fight the Jackalope (cross between a jackrabbit and an antelope)
And battle Dolorus (misery)
Win the Donnybrook (brawl)
Come, escape the Wilderness

Beware of Sabotage
A world of Jabbernowl (blockheads)
Burn down Gomorrah
And all is all.

Sometimes it feels like I'm going under
In the rain and the thunder
In the jungle wander
Struggle the battle of all good and bad
As rattlesnakes shake and grasses form sand

To the sound of a different drum, as bees swarm
Under a militant sun, the seven seas torn
A wounded warrior, but hope dies last
For all of my future, my god and my past
