Take one child
add a Vietnamese dazed dad
with a dash of religious schooling
where teachers say
“ listen to this music
then avoid anything like it”
Of course he listened
( of course you would
as anyone of spirit should)

Turn heaven upside down
in a bewildering world
Out of the chaos came
the Anti- Christ superstar
So people named him
He embraced and reflected
their delusions

Authors of their own terror
they did not comprehend
that legends are born
from the mouths of dragons
Not the tears of angels.
