The Lions Day
I pressed my hands against my face
and rock my body to and fro
and let the rhythm flow
where my imagination goes.
The flies are crawling on the ceiling
and the bugs are flirting with the alarm
and the centipedes are crawling
on the old dusty carpet
underneath the cynical alter
and the black bear is running
around the town boring holes in the ground.
The stone aged man with bronze
Wrapped around the alter
is a natural disaster
His loud and thunderous voice
Burst up the ceiling dripping stains on the floor
Another dejavu has entered the town
With burning passion in its bosom
and the people are running around,
without hope or ambition
the lion has escaped from its den
Looking for a place to lay its head
It is chasing the people around the street
Busting down doors
and ripping up clothes in the stores
And the money man with the till
Held his corner and watch
the lion massacre unfold
People are jumping on tables and running
out the doors but it corner a group of men
And mutilate them in the store
A man mount the steps and
hit it several time with a desk
and the lion leaped straight at him and
cut his throat with a subtle grin.
And just as he was about to take
Another dive the store keeper
Finished him with a barrage
of bullets from his gun
The lion day has come.
