Brief Ballad Of Manic Joe

When Manic Joe went permanent,
saw everyone as extraterrestials,
each from a different planet,
he would touch us with one finger,
in hesitant check for apparition,
to see what we were made of,
so curious as to how we breathe,
what we eat, the way we love.
Tricked us all by being happy,
“…got rid of all the people…”
saying he had a kingdom in his head
with zero allegiance from humans
but he never expected people
from outer space
to understand.
“There is no wisdom,
no truth, just the filling up
with the enormity of God.”
