Narcissus Unchained (A Poem, Ch. II)

So heed us

or simply don’t,

but if the latter,

then know this fully quite well,

for such’ll be solely at thy own peril

-

cause our war will be total

and brutal

universal and personal

and there shall be no exit

-

nor escape nor surrender

nor quarter given

nor prisoners taken

-

and it shall be insidious and invidious

for we shall commandeer

and steal your computer keyboards

and scramble your brains

-

from our secure, unassailable vantage points

in the shadows and darkness of our vile anonymity

in the deepest depths and netherworld of cyberspace

-

where time and place are relative

and our power cancerous, malignant and omnipotent

but ever so fleeting and ghostly

like an apparition ghoulish and ghastly

-

where the tyranny of our hackers’ keyboards

shall reign supreme

upon the blue, silvery night

dancing electromagnetic light waves

of the internet throughout the cosmos of this universe

-

oh tyranny, oh tyranny

let thy dictates and IT philosopher princes

reign supreme

in our New Age, egalitarian Brave New, dystopian World

-

ruled by the lemming consensus

of oh so very clever and smart and brilliant

trained clapping and honking

Marxist spouting seals

in our post modern dystopian

deconstructionist, utopian, paradise state

with its total abeyance of reason and civilization

-

and where therein,

we shall lift up our collective consciousness

so that we may beat back

those so very evil conservatives and

running dog Republicans,

those war mongering, racist imperialists all,

-

and evangelic Christians and people of faith,

and those even more evil, if that is humanly possible,

capitalistic hoarders, and them money-hungry

money-grubbing soulless

businessmen and women

-

those undeserving “one percenters”

who daily steal and purloin

our patrimony and rightful

easy, but for now, temporary, penurious lifestyles

-

cause we’re the best and brightest

cause that’s what’s we been told,

by all our liberal, commie-lib idiot teachers

and all our shrewd and clever

bold and audacious marxist professors,

from kindergarten to graduate school

-

So you owes us all,

each and every single one of us

a job, but not just any job,

but a real worthwhile one

-

with a minimum salary/wage

of oh, let us say

eighty to one hundred K per year,

and lots and lots of benefits

and oh yeah, a corner office too

-

and lots and lots of respect

in order to re-enforce our vast unearned self-esteem

and our righteous sense of massive,

undeserved self worth

-

cause you owes us

cause that’s what’s our commie-lib teachers

and Marxist professors

have categorically said

-

so pays up your pezzusahs,

your shekels and dollar bills

and learn from us and our lessons

of well-heeled social justice

and our sense of entitlement equality

and Gulag fairness and homogeneity

-

so spread the wealth around

cause that’s only what’s right

and only what’s

your fair share

to selflessly give

-

so give, give, give

and gimmee, gimmee, gimmee

cause I/we want, want, want

-

or again, simply face the consequences,

for surely you know the drill by now,

that you must simply

cave in to our non-negotiable extortionate demands

-

or we’ll just break your freaking kneecaps

and every other vile bone in your vile corpses too

and in orgiastic, triumphant cataclysm and celebration

torch and burn your cities to the ground

-

cause it’s dystopian, anarchic Marxism

for ever and ever and ever

or do and die

and die and die and die!

-

so step aside whitey

and all you “one percenters”

cause here we egalitarian human lumpen

“ninety-nine percenters” come

-

and kiss your worthless asses goodbye

cause our kingdom

of the tyranny of the lumpen proletariat

is smarter and better than you and yours

-

so you better run

you better hide

and you best go underground

-

cause here we come

and we’re gonna kick

your freaking collective asses

-

and beat thee

around and about,

from here to kingdom come,

upside thy freaking collective heads

-

cause our cause is just

and our hearts pure

and our feelings so very sensitive and real

and our souls so very sincere and unblemished

-

so yield and cede to us,

surrender and join our just side

or just simply perish and die

-

for again, for the umpteenth time,

our cause is just

and our logic and reason

perfect and pure

-

so damn it, just give up

and surrender to the

splendid words and lyrics

of our inevitable mantra song

-

cause we’re here

and we ain’t going nowhere

but to the very top of the heap

where we rightfully belong

-

so huzzah, huzzah, huzzah

weep not for me

but for thee

-

cause again,

there ain’t no turning back

from us

-

for it is ordained

in the book of Marx

that there ain’t no escape from

either our ontological certainty

nor our ineluctable inevitability neither

-

cause we’re here

and we ain’t going nowhere

but to the very top of the heap

so take a dive for suicide

and eternal sleep

-

or just simply get out of the way

or just simply surrender

to your deserved, enlightened fate

of “occupy” anarchic Marxist ignominy

cause tails you lose and heads I/we win

-

cause what could be more rationally simpler

and easier than that

save for logically

absolutely nothing?

-

so long live our eternal “occupy”

Marxist refined and defined anarchy!

and let your totally ignoble, absolute demise and decline

be quick, final and irrevocable

-

And I say,

amen m.....f.....s

amen.
