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 syncing
Up with the Quintillions COMING,
Not 8 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.
