"Orange Ghost 2"
Why do you beckon my soul
I am in torment
Snared vision as you writhe
Roaring in excruciating grief without end
Twisting and clawing
Rolling and pawing
Until your immense strength ebbs to empty
They want you
Only you
But only lifeless and for Mammon
Magnificent striped pelt
Ivory steel fangs and claws
Supportive pillar bones
Life-creating genitalia
Third eye whiskers
No end to fantasies of anatomy so ageless
And yet more desire all of you
Only you
But only commodity and lust
Dreamless nights
Nightmare days
Constant psychic moaning and booming
My head cannot shutter out
Or keep under lock and key
Or barricade with steel and concrete
And my soul aches in your snare
Unable to escape
Wanting to help but directionless
Desiring to save but powerless
Yet you remain
Roaring even after bloodshed
Unholy sacrifice to Avarice
Few dare to cease
Your phantom cannot be ignored...
