The Symphony, 2007

come Democrat, stand
close to me and let me
look into a human eye
why hast ye given thought
to seek impeachment of our fated
solitary quest together?
ye are bound to me, Democrat,
as the deep shroud of the sea
is bound to stay our course
for six-six-six years have I
given chase to and made war upon
the horrors of the green lands
I durst not so much as dare
to stop this arm I lift in madness,
frenzy, veto, and boiling blood
we have before us now a mild mild wind,
and a mild looking sky,
such a sweetness for damnation
nay Democrat, we shall lower us away
together again to conjure more monsters
of mass destruction for hate's own sake
behold, I shall push and crowd and jam
to beckon both black and white,
good and evil, to go down accursed
down down forever down forever,
swallowed whole by a nameless
inscrutable unearthly command
where do murderers go, Democrat?
so ye shall go with me in hell's heart,
tied and towed, bowed and humped
