The Myth

The Myth

A Poem by Indra's Child

Dangling a cigarette from the lips
Lisp like I'm taking a trip
Through the milky way
And again up the mountain
Pushing dead weight like Sisyphus
Like Jesus brought the fish
Was the best of us
Before the crucifix
Yet remains immortal
On this plane,
Perceptible
To the only ones willing to die 
By fire, brimstone, work the crucible
Guilt for the shameless,
Wisdom for the gullible
Looking over the tall fence
At the back of the yard
Spying on the evil residents
In the residence of the president
The precedence for this seems to be such that
You either hit or miss
And I'd rather try for higher stakes
In the game Battleship
Than die at the hands of cruel fate
As the dead weight
You push further
Your body bogged down by the murder
A boulder with perpetual momentum 
When perpetual momentum's a myth in shambles
Concur, I concur
Without knowledge of the inner mechanics
Turn a blind eye, and open the mouth of madness
Rosicrucian morality,
To tell the truth I'd rather be
Hailing Set on ten in the land of Kem-Set
Truthfully
Somehow, this one got away from me...
