The ruler speaks Euclidean
ne'er without meridian
splashing words ethereal
on easels e're ephemeral;
and speaking now of two-tongued pleas
and then of whitened tragedies;
Tying tongues in skillful wafting
on the winds of lingual crafting
splashing words to mime the laughter
gurgling in hyperbole.
In sudden rail the vortex whirls
churning in its downward swirl
sucking way the reckless glee
of him who took no time to see
the jagged reef; reality.
Now the waves of lies are roaring!
Ripping free the daydream moorings
of those who in their foolishness
saw not the Titan's craftiness.
Citizen Jonah, fool to be!
T'is you who swore none were remiss
yet found the whale, the largest fish
that swam into this barred abyss.
Too late! The horn has ripped your soul
and now a pris'ner pays the toll
in seas of lies that drown the knave
in which all vanquished find their grave.
Oh Death's the whale that swallows thee
a day and night, and each times three;
t'be swallowed is the fate for man
in Death, life's sea's Leviathan.
Take hope, for of this monster's said
the sea of lies brings forth her dead.
June 2, 1999
