SLAM!
by Nicole Terry
Are you paying attention?
Wake Up
Can you feel the tension?
This is my tension,
there is war in the room
me against you
I am trying to win over your minds
to cause you to perceive
the seas pulled over the Land
higher than Noah’s Ark can conceive
High water mark on a mountain peak
all the worlds you believe are written down
in stone
So you’ll buy tickets to the dazzling
magic show
Not even Harry Potter can defeat this Lord
the one in your head
authorizing you to forget
who’s winning?
SLAM
Right now history is being made
the flipside of tomorrow passes before you
on parade
Choose
the Daughters of the Sun rise up
against the sons of the moon
Dionysus right now is here in this room
selling you gold chains
stealing productivity from your empty pockets
of mental pain
while Zeus secures your throat
in the feudal yoke
you buy but you don’t receive
the commonwealth of their posterity
you are a Liability to the devil’s circle contract
declare holy matrimony between you, your life, and
the statues at Large
on corporeal Estates
