The amazing visions of presence, hidden by the blindness of ignorance,
cover the miracles before us. The beautiful stories of myths may very
well be happening right now. The intense characters model for us that
we may learn the way of the human. The blueblood families styled after
the royals that owned the world. Rockafeller once said, "The best slaves
are those that don't know they are slaves". Mysterious our lives are, the
truth must one day be known. Perhaps we must go to hell to get to heaven!
That would fit right in with the humor of the divine, and make good
conversation...if we ever get there!

A commoner King usurps the crown
Marries a blueblood of royal renown
Drunk as can be, in an imperial mood
Orders the Queen to appear stark nude
Before his commoner friends, no less
She refuses, of course, precipitating a mess
The King has the Queen killed
Then sobers up and isn't too thrilled
At the loss of great beauty
For just doing his duty
To ensure that every man is king of his castle
Not subject to wifely disobedience or hassle
So, he holds a beauty contest, and the girl who won
Won't tell her real name, who she is, where she's from
'Til the day she tells the King that his right-hand man
Is plotting to kill her, her family and all Jews in all lands
Wicked Haman is hanged, and the Jews skirt disaster
The Holiday of Purim's today ~ May we never outlast her
According to Jewish tradition, the Coming of the
Messiah will cancel all Jewish festivals---except Purim.

My chest falls from the swell as my breath growls and rushes to exhale
Blueblood runs through my veins while with a sudden flash I can bestow the pain
Martyr I am not but with a rumbling and roar I can strike with a shot
Clouds will part with the darkest of black for when I am silent I will attack
My ruby red lips with a spark at the tip will flare up and jolt like a whip
So reverberate and respect me or feel the pulsate of my flame
for upon your body I will spurt blisters and show the world your shame.
