Escapism – For the readers.

(A lone voice whispers)

Hey you,

Reading this
From way beyond the reach

Of the Great Abyss 

I, Thomas, have a question or two 

Would you blindly follow me if I lit a red candle

In this final odyssey home

To be rescued 
And finally bare your soul

Together with mine
And all you can handle

Before the Sacred Salt Pillar of Ado

Of Sodom and Gomorrah
Near the Dead Sea and atone

Would you follow me and that maybe life-changing suggestion

Willingly into this swirling dark

And grasp my coattails within this invocation and rhyme 

As we trespass tentatively through all of this life's scary parks

Just you and me
 
To somewhere only the courageous can ever conceive

As we strip off all the world's detritus 

That tries to smother us with all their rock slides 

And swim against all societies fast-flowing dividing tides

Will you dare tango and tiptoe past the ever watchful Tall Man and all his worldly Minions

As we circumnavigate the spiritual globe

To truly see the new world grid and reclaim our own freedom

To sit beside our newly created Holy River 
To write poetry and sing

To joyously watch through that river's undulating scrying mirror

As the real world slowly disappears

To then walk through a portal which I know will appear

Through all the luscious green grass to finally reach the portcullis gates to the 

Eternal City
Of Tartaria

To hear the greatest stories ever told to human ears
In any era 

To finally embrace a new realm free from all restrictions 

Laws or fears

For although we are but lost souls going eventually to try to conquer She'ol

Would you still just blindly follow me 

For you also
Seek Escapism

For you too are a true reader

Past the awakening powers of an immoral old fallen god

A new age world leader
And all its political forces

To walk unashamed together 
Hand in hand

To somewhere to renew
Hidden from view

Beyond this world, 
Many new pale white horses
