I know they stuck you too
Through your palms with iron flair
In a sideshow small-town-hide
With a rope and broken chair
And though the devil saw it all
From the Vatican's golden seats
that was when I got the call
For the marking of the beast
It's okay for them to take,
but don't expect something back
They own the baker and the cake
You have to pay for any slack
I Heard you'd seen it all
From underneath the bathroom stall
I guess you weren't that tall
I doubt you'd even call
I know you've seen it all
What the fuck's with the feudal games?
Do you need a king that bad at bat
As they tax you for your name
Know someone's wallet's gettin' fat
And it's not you, they're taking care
of themselves, you're the product line
They will lick your spirit bare
All to share some cheese and wine
Here in Babylon we grow up quick
Like monkeys using tools for food
I bet you're so impressed you'd pick
the super-bowl to set the mood
But balls are not enough
To pass the time in slavery
and after you graduated so tough
from the high-school of currency
I watched you watch me fall
From Humpty Dumpty's wall
I stalked you through the mall
With your apostle Paul
Now, I know you've seen it all

I was intrigued by the title of the poem. I liked the use of unusual phrases, even if i didn't "get" them all, they're still an awesome rhyme. you're style is unique and i appreciate that in a writer!

I can't get the music site at the same time as the AP, so I read first and then went to listen... I thought the song was WONDERFUL -- and it made the poem feel totally perfect and logical...Now that's saying something since I don't always "get" your writing, even tho' I find it very intriguing to read! I'll have to go back and listen some more. Oh, yes, the poem: as usual you pack it full of unusual word choices and phrases, for example, "Here in Babylon we grow up quick/ Like monkeys using tools for food..." wow -- two completely different ideas suddenly, surprisingly linked... makes my brain tingle. A great time to be had by all!

wowow...the title was just...ummmm...spectacular.

I did enjoy reading this.

Ah, the green, making people slaves to jobs that go nowhere because they are given no choice and brought to believe that that is the way it is suppose to be; you have to have the Nuts to step away from it, but I don't think that the Vatican is the throne of Hellfire. Nice work 8, haven't heard from you in a long time.

The title drew me in, to be honest.
Quite interesting.
Great rhyming, near perfect.
Wonderful write, wonderful!
Keep it up, thank you so much for sharing. -
And it's not you, they're taking care of themselves, you're the product line

So few writers are politically astute - you on the other hand are required reading
