Kraken [Pantheon, part IV] Skulking in the undertow, along the ocean floor; the Kraken plots as tides blue, flow, in tentacle and claw Words that carry notions, snide, italic, bent with ease; as ink prints, muddies oceans, scryed, 'midst myriads of sleaze Sleaze claims masking treason, plots, corruption, fraud remiss; calling out for reason, blots, from depths of the abyss, Drowning in a darkness, dredged, an undertow we've sown; pitched black with the sins alleged, protected by their own 'cause here there be monsters, here, dragons there may be; in the end, the water wants us, ... it wants us not to see To see beyond the Kraken's ink, to grasp beyond the page; to sense beyond the blackened stink, the dance upon the stage Ill begotten parties, past, 'neath seas, the soiree played; an octopus's garden, cast, forever in the shade Played and laid in platters, cheese and crackers, opaque wine; a circus, torn in tatters, as the ink, it stains in time Reflected in a mirror, left, deflected in the sun; time bided right, with truth bereft, elections bought and won Bought with lies, and notions old, emotions played with well; as sirens sing, illusions sold, bewitched, the ocean's swell and so we watch the ship subside, yet somehow stay afloat; Blue Boris sails flapping, lied, 'midst boosted, vaccine quotes Lines spun rich, with little cost, to truth... such women... men; with Davy Jones in lockdown, lost, and do's at number 10 Shafting crewman, in their greed, flags flying, colours shown; if lubrication's what you need, ... you'd better bring your own Amidst the call of long shot odds, 'gainst rising tides of spin; in the thrall of teflon gods, with armour wearing thin Thinning in the undertow, in tentacle and claw; the Kraken plots as tides blue, flow, cross murky ocean floors |
