A song-poetry from the blues; and Depo at the door!: A poem

I woke up from my sleep-in,

from my crumpled bed linen

hearing a tremendous din

in my little kitchen

where there was a blues band

playing on my pots and pans

And they were singing

like the neon was swinging

in a pub, in a hub

for a lion feeling like a cub

basking in a bathtub

Mother, give me a rub

I am not saponaceous

I am just sebalaceous!

I just want to die

before the sun hits the sky!

Right before your eye!

I touch the ceiling, and see it collapse

like a stringy band of asps

right into the floor

and I don’t know

if the walls are hit by the blow!

And I am, thus, now, leaning to the door!

He speaks in semaphores

The thaumaturge Supreme Pied Piper

on my dirty translucent windscreen with his wiper

And it just may be the spud of a sniper

because boom my screenshot goes zoom

into a kaleidoscope of fragments

where all the band’s instruments

turn into armaments!

There is a war! Oh! Oh!

And there is an encore!

And they are blaming me for the roar?!

Just the lion’s gone sore!

He is snoring like a bore!

So, I tell Dad

Dad, I’d like to die

Just because I simply cannot fly,

Don’t ask me why?!

And there’s blood on the table

Whose gone and cut my cable?

Remember me, I was able –

the one who was most capable!

They simply didn’t think the mythic hero was viable

They thought his truth and justice was rousing rabble

Now it is time for that injection of anti-psychotic Depo

Each time I write an unseemly(?!) expo

Tell me about the illegitimately imposed Mental Treatment Plan

Some people in power do it, just because they illegally can!

James’ sacrifice didn’t get any brand label, thus far thus,

Though Jesus was no creeping Jesus

It was really that evil Saint Paul of Tarsus

And the equally evil Ananus ben Ananus

So, I meet my true love Sarah,

And I say Aha! Aha!

Where can I roll the dice…?

Where there can only be sunrise…

in ever-illuminated skies!

And in my lucid eyes

Mum, Dad, you, me, and all the loves and love I have never dies!
