#steeple
Wake up sleeper!
Your summer days are over.
Tidy up and prepare for winter,
lest you be caught off guard.
For we have a steeple with lots of faces,
and symbols and catchphrases,
and pulpits and pews
—but never a
Duluoz and Kerouac.
And do not mistake
silence for absence.
And patience for
impotence.
For just as the sun rises
from the east.
So shall justice be served
for the least.
So then, let us say:
May our days be numbered,
and our troubles few.
And may this sweet surrender
bring us life anew.

•°• A Twisted Classic •°•
Here is the church
Here is the steeple
Open the door
And see all the evil
...see all the people,
stranded in a free fall,
falling for the lure of lore,
but there's nothing at all...

THE LADY OF ALOT
Estatic when she's shopping,
The boughten things she's got;
Right proud of all her purty stuff,
She's The Lady Of Alot.
Alot of costly Chinese stuff
Imported hear by Walmart stores.
She useta shop at I Magnums but
She don't like them ones no more.
Irregardless, she believes she
Ain't not no ordnary ****
If she'd of got haffa chance
She'd of voted twice for Trump
And the strait Republican ticket
So The Donald can fix are country
Like he exhaled in his own companies,
Making lots of good clean money.
In her sweatshop-made clothing
She shouts allowed she can't wate
For the Grand Old Party and Trump
To agin make Murrkuh grate!
She feel she's happy in her ivory tower
With all the treasures she has got.
She sees nothing wrong with this country
The dense, nearsighted, Lady Of Alot.
