(VERSE)

WE MEET OUR HERO UNAWARE AND ASLEEP,
STRESSED OUT AT THE CROSSROADS—TORN IN TWO DIRECTIONS.
A MUNDANE WORLD THAT HE MUST SHARE WITH THE SHEEP;
FORGOTTEN WHO HE IS, CAN’T SEE HIS TRUE REFLECTIONS.
DEEP WITHIN, THERE IS A CALL TO ADVENTURE
CALM BEFORE THE STORM, CHANGE IS NOW ON THE HORIZON.
HE WOULD MARVEL AS AN AVENGER;
MANY TIMES, DOUBTING HIMSELF ON THE ROAD TO SEEK THE WISEMEN.

THERE, HE IS TRAINED AND GIVEN MAGIC LIKE A RELIC; GAINING COURAGE AND INNER WISDOM, THAT IS ALSO KNOWN AS GNOSIS.
PICTURE IS CLEAR, THOUGH THE COLORS ARE PSYCHEDELIC
THE PATH NOW CAN BE SEEN ‘CAUSE HE HAS GROWN TO NOTICE.
NOW HE REALIZES THAT HE’S NO LONGER IN KANSAS, AND WHAT WAS ONCE UP IS NOW DOWN IN WONDERLAND.
GOOD THING HE READ THE HERMETIC TEXT AND UNDERSTANDS THIS;
ALCHEMICAL MARRIAGE BETWEEN THE UPPER AND UNDERHAND.

ALONE ON HIS WAY TO FIND THE THRONE OF THE PHARAOH,
HE MEETS SOME ALLIES AND NEEDS TO PAUSE FOR A SEC. ONE HAS SWORD, THE OTHER A BOW AND ARROW
THEY ALL MOVE FORWARD TOWARDS THEIR CAUSE AND EFFECT.
ALL OF A SUDDEN, THEY SEE THE JABBERWOCKY,
AS FEAR SETS IN AND STARTS RISING TO THE SURFACE; THEY REALIZE IT’LL TAKE MORE THAN A JOB FROM ROCKY,
TO ACCOMPLISH THEIR MISSION AND TO FULFILL THEIR PURPOSE.

ARROWS START FLYING, SWORDS START SWINGING;
THEY LOOK THAT EVIL DRAGON RIGHT DEAD IN HER EYES.
THE CONFIDENCE OF HIS HEART IS SINGING
CONQUERING THE DEMON INSTEAD OF THEIR DEMISE. CROWN NOW PLACED ON THE SCALP OF THE LION; NEVER AGAIN WILL THEY ACKNOWLEDGE THE MONARCHY.
PANTS HELD UP BY THE BELT OF ORION
HE NOW KNOWS FREEDOM AND HAS KNOWLEDGE OF SOVEREIGNTY.

LATE FOR A DATE, HE WOULD ESCAPE THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS,
A SIMILAR STORY THAT WAS ONCE TOLD IN ALICE; FALLING DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE NOW THAT HE’S DONE WHOOPING ASS,
ENTERING THE WARDROBE WITH A GOLDEN CHALICE.

NO LONGER DO WANNABE ROBERT DE NIROS CONCERN ME;
THE ALCHEMIST HAS NOW TURNED LEAD INTO GOLD. SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETING THE HERO’S JOURNEY,
LEARNING TO NEVER BECOME BREAD INTO MOLD.
