    This is a poem I wrote just a little while ago about the hypocrisy of our mainstream counterculture. It's untitled as of yet, and It's one of my favorites...here goes...tell me what you think...

    The Old Man of The Varden
    took his panpipes out to play
    The Chickadees all despise him
    but The Ants want him to stay

    They don't know nothing
    The Jester did reply
    but His Eyes are closed as tightly
    as The King and I

    The Fireflies of Dissention
    don't know what to do
    They're allied with The Bumblebees
    (but so are me and you)

    And still The Old Man of The Varden
    Takes his Panpipes put to play
    The Chickadees all despise Him
    but The Ants want Him to stay

    The Pigs are in The Courtyard
    It's a Happy Sunny Day
    They romp among The Slithy Toves
    but don't know what to say

    Ignorance, Hypocrisy
    You know it's all The Same
    'Cause it's hard to think of Virtue
    When you play The Killing Game

    And still The Old Man of The Varden
    takes His Panpies out to play
    The Chickadees all adore him
    now The Ants want Him away

    The gnashing teeth which glisten
    This is something you should have seen
    twenty years or more before
    I call it the machine

    a perfect paradox
    for which we only pray
    that The Old Man of The Varden
    might Return to Us Someday...
