Kingdom Come

FOREVER is gonna take me to the stars.
FOREVER is gonna wake me when the car’s arrived and started br[]aking,
every drive the COURT OF A KING –
THE LEVER with which I’ll terraform the world,
no not this one you’d wanna share’ll
be, from where I’m standing, FOREVER!
– It’s where I’m FROM:
I’LL RETURN
TO KINGDOM
COME, COME, COME, COME, COME
While we burn I’m s[ ]n[ ]ing
Up with THE QUINTILLIONS COMING, not eight bil with which I’m slumming
Who come to nothing anyway
So it had to be today;
It had to be today.


FOREVER is gonna grab you when you fall!
THE DEVIL you say ‘there’s no invisible” – no hand on which I’m countin’
Throwing my friend off the mountain!
THE LEVEL you need to be deplatformed to:
the NOT QUITE WORKING class for you;
‘cos, from the way it’s trending, FOREVER
is no place for scum!!!
I’M THE KING
OF KINGDOM
COME, COME, COME, COME, COME
My distinction is in
all the pomp and the pageantry that an undiscovered country
has for them as won’t delay
So it had to be today

AFTER ALL

AFTER ALL,
ALL!
ALL!!
ALL.

WHATEVER is gonna keep me from the fires!
FOREVER is gonna sweep away: the buyer’s remorse after the bubble,
and the poor, so DEPLORABLE.
INDIFFER-ENCE is what there’s FOREVER of
with HATE contemptible as love,
from both their ways of ending: THERE NEVER
has been, in sum:
ANYWHERE
BUT KINGDOM
COME, COME, COME, COME, COME!!!
I CAN BEAR being,
and staring down, the uninvited – BETTER THAN TO SERVE OUTSIDE IT
where the NIGHT’D NEVER STAY!!!
So it had to be today,
It had to be today.
AFTER ALL …


It had to be today.
