Slow soothing jungle mists
Rain glazed carpets and canopies
Gentle streams giggle with abandon
Parting the grasses I enter

Ragged and threadbare I appear
Wooly hair that contains all sorts
My back is raw my fingers sinewy claws
Mumbling incoherencies eyes shifty

Fled the red carpet jury trial
Crimes against history and science
Economic blow swept up in shards
Apocalyptic tinkering of minds and projections

One day of no cash flow theory
Hypothetic release and humanization
Embellished appeal to a life of life
The simplified equation of being

Ignoring fundamental societal truths
Childishly I preformed antics of love
Ruthless they cut down my dreamology
Tangled entrails of unthought process

Into the frames of moments gory
Slashed to ribbons universally attributed
They demonstrated virtuous monstrosity
In proscribed fashion accordingly adjusted

I am guilty of hyper-perpetuation
Jolted and prodded the beast
Ironic and masochistic I was relentless
Necessary squirming fodder function

So into roaming land I retracted
A hero of unimaginable proportions
To be hung in effigy by my successors
The machinery grinds on revitalized
