Crossroad

if the king of kings is here yet unbeknown to we a latter day odysseus king of our kingdom free i wonder if his queen of queens is waiting for him where her suitors dig their graves in such a way as to declare the trap that they have set for him the one inside our minds that makes the truth a spectre so distorted that it blinds the people of a world at war with light and life and love pity noah's wife was less important than the dove what would he say to ham and shem young japheth wants to know how would he call jerusalem which way would he go when there are three mothers all claiming one small child with telemachus in the streets running hot and wild and three gods in the temple all arguing the point with priests and politicians for the power to anoint so if you are a suitor you'd do well to understand it's just an ancient crossroad with water close at hand
