Fall Of King Joculus

With toot of horn and cackle of wild jest
King Joculus arrives in Washington
to trample on the blood-stained flag of pride
and then defund your private psychic quest
to map the multiverse for everyone
who bears conceptual treasure they must hide.

Tattooed with mental sigils of regret,
King Joculus stands on the mountain top
to chat with demon in the burning bush
about how to reprogram our mindset
so everyone believes that he is God
though he scams his followers of their cash.

Daring Jesus to play Russian roulette,
King Joculus then swipes his Crown of Thorns
and proclaims himself by legal command
to be messiah of the alphabet,
but Joshua suggests that we blow our horns
which blows walls of his fortress into sand.

Presiding over jousting tournament,
King Joculus delights when bold knights clash
in brutal combat to enforce his word
as national law without precedent
while tossing our Bill of Rights in the trash
before he tries to shoot the mocking bird.

Rewriting history of our nation-state
so fake fables may glorify his deeds,
King Joculus burns books of heretics
who dare expose true nature of his fate
when he demands we recite his false creeds
because too many are fooled by his tricks.

Aggrieved that prophet of the singing whale
reveals corrupt state of his character,
King Joculus hangs him on the phone pole
to hide the fact his efforts always fail
for he is more Bacchus than Jupiter,
pretending tyranny is not his goal.

Drunk on raw power as proud Head of State,
King Joculus blames everything gone wrong
on diverse persons opposed to his rule,
but he cannot evade his tragic fate
like Saddam and Muammar caught by the throng,
though we realize he is Plutonian tool.

After crushing everything we hold dear,
King Joculus cannot escape his fall
since tyranny is too hard to enforce
for longer than apocalypse of fear,
because Justice and Liberty for all
will prevail through universal discourse.

Orpheus documents the rise and fall of King Joculus whose greed destroyed our democracy in failed attempt to crown himself king.
