The Theater of Shadows

The Theater of Shadows

A Poem by Stanislav Volo
"

It is a Reflection on the war in Iraq and Afghanistan written in 2003, where I'm anticipating the rise of ISIS. Moon Yet still, in our Nurtured Hollow beds The Moon will feed Self-conscious Heads

"
The Theater of Shadows,
    Depends on Light
    That scatters,
Strange reflection patterns
    On the Walls;
And only one will know-
    Behind the plans of
    Shadow
    TV Show.
He knows the creatures,
    And their features are
    Near-sighted,
    Double-minded,
Disturbing school of pigs,
    That wallows in
    The sea of fixes.
And only those,
    Will see
    Behind the masks of
    Voodoo Doll TV,
Who Stop,
    And Drop,
    And Roll,
    Eye Balls
Into the world of
    Stained Walls;
Into the world of
    Stained walls;

Well, here she is, our
    Dirty,
    Nasty,
    Boorish,
    W***e!
Sex Addict,
    Drug Addict!
    Addicted to
    The oil flow,
And with her Fetish Smile
    After spanking for a while
    She screams
    In pleasure!
Barks in rage!
    She knows they're asking for
    Revenge!
And all of them are
    Crafty Devils!
    They're all,
    Bermuting our souls!
We'll tie their sleeves around
    Electric Handles!
    And Fry
    Their Eager,
    Evil Souls
    Like Voodoo Dolls!
    Like Voodoo Dolls!

Wearing the bliss of
    Shining chains
She's getting ready
    For her fetish games,
But Dolls bleed
    Magic
    Love triangle is
    Tragic, which reveals
Her nature,
    Taking sleeping pills
Relax,
    She falls asleep,
But in her dream
    She'll weep,
 In Fear-
    Of innocence of salty tear;
    When suddenly, her swiftly moving hand
    Drops pennies on the wet cement
The child
    Crawling on the floor,
    Looking for pennies;
But she wants more!
 Humanity is shocked!
    Her deepest fears
    Submerged
    Under the blocks of
    Sidewalks;
Then she wakes up,
    Repeating drill;
Deleting dreams from memory -
    With memory deleting Pill.


What is the Truth?
    Infection in the blood of youth...?
Instead of playing
   Fair and Square
Abuse of Substance Everywhere;
   And while Hiding
   Under roofs, all crying, almost dying
   Painted Face of
   Suffocating
   Truth
Still screws
   Big holes in tin can walls,
But roars of
   Madness
   Moans
   And gloom of
   Nasty mushrooms
   And balloon
Inflating skies with
   Bloody Sacrifice;

Eventually, the truth will die,
   Reincarnating
   Into Lie,
Smiling,
   She'll bite
   Once more
Only Sun will rise and fall
   In bloody sore-
   But souls are bleeding
   Reeks of animal instincts are feeding on a fruitful fight
   Too bad; we can't control our appetite.

 

(EPILOGUE)
Without emotions
   Shadows
   Disappear
And then emerge behind you,
   Breading
   Fear;
In a shame the sunset
   Fainted.
Hectic light from
   Yellow Moon Has switched
   Pathetic guns for
   Dunes.
Between
  The universal wings
  The Kings of West
  Will seize
  The buns of sunset,
Anticipating breeze
  The Moon will
  Stabilize ourselves
  Between the cliffs of
  Dune,
Yet still, in our Nurtured
  Hollow beds
  The Moon will feed
  Self-conscious Heads.
