All furies, pharaohs, phalanxes

Will bow before the one

Whose fountain flows from phoenixes

To bathe him in the sun

For what is time if not his throne

And what is God but just a word

To thine whose kingdom shines against

Existence's absurd

And most perplexing paradoxes

Of dualities of man

And its sealed Pandora's boxes

Of reality's demand

Upon the lonely lucid dreamer

Who has seen beyond desire

In a world of Disney Movies

Where such fairy tales expire

To a hungry belly's hatred

And the fear of thirsty lips

And taking more than your fair share

Of poison apple trips

surreal poetry
