DARK KNIGHT OF THE SOUL

when that image in the mirror is not yours
and the sounds you make are strange
weird the wave you surf(midnight to dawn day
so you pray to stronger gods-
Gods of Gulf and Pelican
Goddesses of Mercy (Guillotine
Kali,Shakti,Mother Theresa
(until she seems like Margaret Thatcher
even though their power(greater
they invest in one another
"too big to fail"says Goldman Sachs
bailing out these leaking banks
Until you realize job cuts/wage cuts
are the ex-working class taxes
Cry into their turtle soup
Seafood oil based in truth
digging in for bigger profits
while the unemployment rises
Now your mirror screams"CONTROL!"
and you trust it means yourself
What if that image in your image
belonged to someone else?
