vessels nestle in safe harbors
costly castles, butlers, barbers
maids for those who had it made
Escalades and escapades
retinue, Fifth Avenue
confiscated, but who knew
they should have known, these oligarchs
payback is a bitch, said Marx
no, I didn't know
this was a beauty pageant
wishing for world piece
I simply said: my dear Concierge
this acrid smell must be the scourge
of a malevolent, dull dunce
please do take care of this at once
my accusation is not false
how can you say that, that takes balls
does this hotel intend to gouge
cause looking at this invoice, ouch
no, my dear fella, face the music
if you're intending to abuse...eek!
what is that thing the color purple
the smell of it will make me burp...ill
is what I'll get take it away
I think I simply cannot stay
do you suggest you can replenish?
concierge, I'm neither Dutch nor Flemish!
you cannot buy me with your silver
you're simply wishing to conceal there
but here's one thing I cannot grasp
this is a bee, or it's a wasp?
it's stripes appear more beige than orange
no, I'm not getting within bow range
besides, when I start seeing beige
it is as if I took a page
the storyline so acrid
I guess there's nothing sacred
physicists in awe
uncertainty principle
observed in everyday life
the trees are screaming
Mark Lanegan is gone
we really lost him
Tom, Dick and Harry may all look the same
but a masterpiece sculpture must have proper name

please, please, throw another stone
please, so I can throw my own
shatter the protective glass
separating you from us
be obnoxious and be rude
kindness needs not to intrude
after all I am a troll
who said that I have soul
there you go: feels better, no?
you have vanquished every foe
and the accolades stream in
you have shown them the obscene
ah, your friends will have a laugh
this was what you're dreaming of
look: another "like", you see!
you are not alone
like me
Adam and Eve
in their quest to conceive
were proving to be quite naïve
wait, so I take a rib?
then start building a crib?
seems too easy, if I can be glib
Satan did interfere
he who's never sincere
and proceeded to assuage their fear
apples, oranges, skin
bees and birds -- so obscene
there you have it: original sin
Azazel and Satan
if I'm not mistaken
spend their afternoons
in the depths of hell
Beelzebub and Mammon
plot pestilence and famine
humming raunchy tunes
unbothered by the smell
demons by the dozen
dancing with their cousins
horns not quite superfluous
hooves forming a ring
planning their takeover
freezing season's over
devils, like the rest of us
welcoming the spring
I asked the thunder:
do you ring
with echoes of forgotten wars
and dreams of plunder
it laughed me off
and said that it's just thunder
as lightning struck
and tore the peace asunder
I asked the rain:
do you weep
for fallen heroes
and for all the slain
it spit on me
and said that it's just rain
and turned to red
my prayers were in vain
I asked the sun:
do you light
a candle for the lost
remind us that we're one
it burned my skin
and said it's just the sun
what's one more holocaust
it's nothing new, begone
I had to ask myself
no answer came
and no one left to blame
as emeralds play on the water
the ocean spreads wide for its daughter
and says: welcome, my sun
get some rest, day is done
tomorrow, it's time to get hotter
the table glitters
tears turn precious as they fall
Midas learns hunger
