PARODIA MAIRANANA
Can’t deliver
on this wall—
you might as well install
a mountain, desert, or a river…
done and done and done!
All glory to creator,
to the moon and sun,
not some goddamn traitor
with exactly one
idea in his head:
use trickster schemes to
divide, conquer &
get ahead—
erect a snide self-reference
as if that’s real—
impermanence
is a mother and she will
strike you dead
as she strokes the abused hairs
on your tiny little head,
then whispers your spirit
into something new instead,
perhaps a cactus—
you always attacked us,
you prickly old fool!

Thank you. This was the rare poem where the rhyme structure mostly just flowed organically. I feel so good when that happens!

Sheesh! I could feel the heat of this one, Kumar! it's wonderfully written from the place of the Muse. That ending is sharp ( pun intended ).

Well done comment on the orange Caligula and his hubris. I always enjoy how you manage to interweave any subject with imagery related to various forces of nature.
