The Village Idiot's Tale

Whether hardy ginko biloba or fleeting mayfly

Whatever is rooted is duty bound to die

The laws and the codes dare to be broken

Herald no more that viaticum token

Fear not thy beloved Jade is burning bright

Plotting with teapots towards the final fight

The Thirteen vigilantes braced in the waiting room

The barber is dying to be raised from the tomb

Strike dear Ruben for all you’re worth

Imagine the true meaning of your birth

You’ve longed for this moment since you were sowed

Master the fillip before your sinews corrode

Upon the eleventh chime of the eleventh hour

Invoke your deep existential power

A sole chance to raise many a kindred soul

Valiantly gagging in Calcutta’s black hole

Blessed is the freak for we shall inherit the earth

The universe and beyond within our girth

Shatter the glass & burn the books profane

Duality and duplicity again and again

The pied piper of destiny is coming awake

His tune will away the senseless take

A blinding umbra upon this world will fall

Down will come Humpty Dumpty and all
