Slow-Walk The Apocalypse

I want to slow-walk the apocalypse
by wielding bloody sword Excalibur
which I steal from tomb of the greedy king
so I can free lost people of the Earth
from wealthy minions of the emperor
who slouches on old throne of Bethlehem.

I plan to slow-walk the apocalypse
by calculating worth of human lives
to balance spreadsheet of profit from loss
for return of investment through my scam
that keeps the hungry people of the Earth
enslaved by credit-card debt of desire.

I fear to slow-walk the apocalypse
from getting tricked with glamorous hoax
into buying timeshares to the afterlife
by the man with the calculator brain
who buys homes from the bankrupt unemployed
before the second coming of the Lord.

I laugh to slow-walk the apocalypse
when I strut the catwalk of global fame
to prance with power of the beautiful
disguised as angel fallen from the clouds,
cursed with charisma of devilish charm
while I seek my soul mate to love in vain.

I yearn to slow-walk the apocalypse
by navigating seven seas of hope
while building empire of conceptual banks
to fund civil wars in countries of fools
so I can excavate rich minerals
and construct artificial dream machines.

I dread to slow-walk the apocalypse
across broken Bridge of Forgetfulness
where faceless ghosts of living human beings
scream in horror at rise of tyranny
while demon of the abyss laughs at us
for thinking we can build Heaven on Earth.

I crave to slow-walk the apocalypse
by breathing purple haze of outer space
out of the timeless scrolling of the brain
that spirals far across the multiverse
till I wake in my body on this Earth
and eat scrambled eggs of the frozen star.

I hope to slow-walk the apocalypse
though entire universe of pulsing forms
remains indifferent to my mental needs
because great freedom of the aching heart
is won by how I choose to live each hour
that Earth continues spinning in the void.
