Pale Horse and the Yellow Submarines
This year's Halloween edition....
"Pale Horse and the Yellow Submarines"
There approaches
One
Light bringer
rides a dead pony
albino
red eyed, no gun
or so
the story goes
pale
as death
hear its
Netherworld neigh
beetles
dig deep
pigeons coo
novocained
ignorant
messages fixed
dull the pain
sleep
hidden with
ghosts of deadly nightshade
Autumn turns
into a freezing dark knighted Winter
In the smallest moments
of your life
through daylight
you remain
uninformed,
unafraid
celebrating
anything you want
penetrating time
you the well worn
workers, believers
with rapturous eyes
bleeding internally
for something
you've never seen
you remonstrate
you believe
you disbelieve
and while you hunger
for something lacking internally
you with time
running short
concur you
are human
you are not
Greed
you go to sleep
asking for just another
chance at
another slice
of the
Pie
a pale horse
rampages
and an unknown rider
writes each of your stories
on new
pages
indicating some
kind of truth
in any great lie
you see
syndicating any
boat you row
any place
you go
imitating
everyone
you know
by now,
don't you feel it?
don't you know?
understand
it is plain in sight
You
know.
end game
begins again
it's reaching
for you always
in your dreams
you are so slow
we are now
front row
safe we are
with eagles
aren’t
we All?
Thanks Giving,
Halloween?
Yellow
submarines
songs of innocence
Bread and LSD
we are all
just dreams
in another time
called Soon
we ride
nightmares
where innocence
no longer exists
move
forward
albino ghost eyes
of a pale horse
the rider
advertises
his war cry
like a bird tweeting
about to
defecate
on an
untouched
well
oiled
warzone
we look in the
mirror
and cry out
for a true hero
The screen says
it's just
Superstition
Let Halloween come
and
Go
