The Apocalypse Oh feller, fell no woods, Fell no woods anymore For sarcophagus, for here’s Come with us massive Massacre of masses Fell no tress in vain Say to bury the dead As in quantum we now die So do we be quaffed off Like wastes in the bin You see why you fell no tress Spare your palms the burnings And heart of the heaves For the big-mandible monster Shall carve a enough cave For our sarcophagus Then be glad ye cave dwellers For your grief is past by death Would of death still be stricken? Nor by its pangs be frozen? If not we who mourn in terror Of your demise in cruelty Oh behold the scenic grandeur Of the graveyards of the slain Flowered hither and yon in silence In silence of brutality and inhumanity In silence of many unfulfilled dreams In silence of a world left behind In silence; in silence of vanity… Wait; we shall all soon be there See, all of us, and you that terrorizes Well woes if you alone be left o’er For there shall be nothing to terrorize But you in terror of loneliness! In terror, in terror of loneliness Peace here is elixir, and mirage is hope For the chain bomb is ignited The catastrophic concatenation of evil And it shall burn and burn and burn Till all geography is burnt blunt And our generation begone Yes we shall all soon be spent From teens that had had their first sex To the grayed who had lost their libido For we all had eaten of and seen The violent fruit of naked violence Forbidden ere time began Fell no trees Oh feller, and border not To lay waste in wasting yourself synergy To construct coffins for our generations Of dooms and Armageddon Then shall peace be born of strife If and only if mothers in prospect From the yet to be born and the virgins Instruct the new vegetation of humanity Therein from the cradles rocked and on To behold oneself in other selves In seeing one’s face in other faces From this breeds, then shall be bred A religion of humanity whereof, Oh just whereof in the name of humans And to its glory no blood is split or spilled In the name of God nor in the name of state Oh feller, would you not but concede That if women had been on their posts Oh if the eves had done their jobs In speaking virtues to tenders ears And love right in the cradles, that There might be mere grief but in brief Such as in toils that ends in spoils The apocalypse end is nigh if only eves Set on eaves of their womanhood In casting future Adams from the crib To forms of responsibility « return. |
