He stared with incredulity
As benefits theocracy
He’s finding all the Pharisees are down by the marina

Palatable celebrities
Eliminated aimlessly
Exaggerated strangleholds applied by long division

Now waiting at the garrison
Like William Henry Harrison
The centipede of industry’s imprisoned by its eyeballs

He packed up the necessities
And waved to the distilleries
Good graces in a carry-on that used to say Lufthansa

Hero! Arrived heroic in this history-
the gods they paused in passive praise of
him,
a laughing punctuation of Poseidon,
as he pulled the mighty muse-oh,
Daughter
of great Zeus, she came in supplication
to the Greeks and their grand oracle fulfilled!

Oh timeless was the treachery of that-
the tampered heel (exposed and
vulnerable)
a soon secreted legend poor Achilles
wears upon the Spartan plains of
Troy.

Yet the mask in guise of wooden steed
forever the embattlement became-
a symbol of Teutonic victory!
A symbol of loquacious legend
made.

And the great Odysseus strode across the
threshold of immortal destiny
foretold
contiguous with that persona
perfect-
that he was and he will always be-
Hero--

You are the shadows in search of new souls
Compliant new clients with untenable goals
Choosing with a seasoned ability
The parasitic need for stability

I love the way it sounds and can feel the meaning, although I am half way on its path. Very well crafted. I also love the poetic conversation that follows.

Cheers, Johnny!

K.Q.

Cheers Johnny! ETM
Cheers K.Q.! ETM

And cheers for every parasite
Who sucks the Myelin out at night
And leaves the host a Myelinopathy:
MS for life with idiopathic neuropathy; ca-ching ca-chunk
