The Fool
My resolve is dauntless
Goaded by abysmal reflection
On all that has been destroyed
The sublime and the beautiful
Exaltation’s full measure exaggerated in loss
Utter futility soothed with implacable rage
Fire with blood unleashed
The scorching stench of clotted torrents
I am overwhelmed
Dissociated from myself
No longer a man but nature’s vengeance
No other end the compulsion grown resistless
To dispense cruelty bestride a litter of corpses
Deep in catastrophe’s grave
I want you to suffer
Self-loathing mine to share
In terror you’ll forsake
All for who you care
Vengeance unto death
Murder fit for murderers
I want you to suffer
I want you to dread

The Tower

The Tower
Cells on its circumference
Set around a circle
Accidental history
Divorced from the world
The central iron lattice
Open on scrutiny
Brooks no privacy
Encased in quelling stone
Caste of shadow’s bars
Over pallid flesh
Dissects tormented souls
Prisoners displayed
Degraded and exposed
Reflecting my despair
Surveillance unrelenting
Through occulting shutters
Dread central Watchtower’s
Obscure omnipresence
Preys on the deranged
Anxious I should break
Reckless zeal
Bludgeoning rectitude
Betrays in the wretched
My proclivity’s tremor
Life is joyless striving after joy
Only salved with unrelenting scorn
Ruthless shame
False instinct to conform
Incites murderous intolerance
Vacant is the tower
Beneath all reason lies deceit
Truth is but the prevailing lie
Authority stands aloof
Its never revealing face
We chastise ourselves
Thought subjugated
Coerced emotions
Simultaneously
Inmate and jailer
Fitted for purpose
Rehabilitated
Released into captivity

The Emperor
I hear what you want
I hear what you want
I hear what you want
Tell us what we want
I've got what you need
I've got what you need
I've got what you need
Give us what we need
I know how you think
I know how you think
I know how you think
Tell us what to think
I feel what you feel
I feel what you feel
I feel what you feel
Show us what is real
Oratory refined to forthright nonsense
Speculations issued as fact
Hubris passing for wisdom
A circumlocution explaining nothing
Sharpened knives bring your fall
Not a piece remains at all
I hear what you want
I hear what you want
I hear what you want
Tell us what we want
I've got what you need
I've got what you need
I've got what you need
Give us what we need
I know how you think
I know how you think
I know how you think
Tell us what to think
I feel what you feel
I feel what you feel
I feel what you feel
Show us what is real
Swarmed by the credulous and the short-sighted
Become sceptics after the fact
Disguise their shame with vengeance
To depose, humiliate and then defile
Sport for their capricious whim
Torn apart limb from limb
Capitalism breeds sociopaths
Socialism is a lie
Society craves a despot
Shielding citizens from life
The strong man crushes all dissention
Assumes freedom's terror
Sanctified by venerable myth
Become the nation's hero
The stupid released from culpability
Spared ambition from the indolent
Dissolved in impotent dreams
Life without meaning, death unseen
Frivolous distractions
Vanity's delusion
Subdues a class of knaves
Dull and content
Induced to breed
A race of willing slaves

The Devil

The Devil
Subversive ideas dropped from your forked tongue
Impromptu rallies where grew your theatrical tirade
Indignation teased by quiet assertions
Into a harangue exciting my bigotry
Then up close in conversation
Your charismatic consideration
Held in thrall
Unchecked affection
To monopolise your attention
In your sun I should reflect your goodness
And take some measure of honour for myself
With what pain I win neglect
Suffering your whim stray to better prospects
Grief and shame
Condemned as suspect
Irreconcilable moral defect
My zeal for the cause and for your esteem
With reckless belligerence, turned murderous
After the event your deceit betrayed
Self-aggrandisement couched in noble disinterest
You prey on the witless and on the conceited
I recoil with disgust arraigned by my vanity

The High Priestess
Vacuous face on a taunting body
Haughty frivolity
Dysmorphic sexualisation become
Perfection’s commodity
Revel in your contempt
Scorning culture’s descent
Opportunity seize
Unflattered ambition appease
Refuse what they sell
Resist their spell
Disguising your dissent
Dissembling your intent
Deaf to wearying pleas
Compromise your enemies
Cajole and compel
Stand and rebel
Raising hell
Enslaved cowards devoid of purpose
Fettered with consoling lies
Existential sickness to rot their soul
Melodrama consumes their lives
Welcome doubt
Embrace fear
Meet your destiny
Manifest here
When desire gains its chance
A fleeting happenstance
Traits you most despise
Fit you to seize the prize

The Hierophant
My heart swells with the crowd
The dauntless phalanx advanced
Pulsing fervent martial strains
Roused into righteous wrath
Seething canister vents
A resistless wind of change
The clarion voice in us all
Resounded in triumphant chorus
The final stage of human evolution
Super-ego realizes nature's perfection
Common sense preserves mutual sympathy
A single will to rule all humanity
Absorbed in enthralling unity
Enthusiasm absolves my frailty
Riots are the voice of the unheard (I can't breathe)
Riots are the voice of the unheard (I can't breathe)
Riots are the voice of the unheard (I can't breathe)
Riots are the voice of the unheard (I can't breathe)
Riots are the voice of the unheard (I can't breathe)
Riots are the voice of the unheard (I can't breathe)
Riots are the voice of the unheard (I can't breathe)
Riots are the voice of the unheard (I can't breathe)
How tempting to destroy
Tokens of what divides
Gleaming opulent frivolity
Shattered glass of crystal night
Reflects flame's purifying light
Humbling pompous and rich
Ridicule all superstition
All sin is ignorance
My comrades break as if divining my thoughts
Fallen prey to vain depraved greed
They loot and squabble over worthless trinkets
I withdraw back into wretched selfhood
Instinct to seize their opportunity
Dissembling their cupidity
Once more
Humanity is a lie
We all well deserve to die
Of horror (With shame) (In despair)

The Hermit
My hate frustrated
Endless outrage grown weary
Idealism is exhausted
Enthusiasm extinguished
Pleasure with terror diluted
Turned equally banal
Bled of feeling stripped of meaning
Only the yearning to decay
Divorced from life's patient rhythm
A fantasy of what's to come
Wanting to disappear
I face death without fear
Their need oppresses me
Stripped of anxiety
Fit for atrocity
I am estranged
Utterly estranged
See my mind devour itself
On reason's tortured circle bent
Emotions flared caste no impression
And vomits pure apathy
A dark inclination to maim
A casual compulsion to kill
Possessed with ambivalence
Now the perfect terrorist
Deaf to affirmation
Without consolation
Lost in conspiracy
Their greed repulses me
Martyrdom made clear

The Ace of Staves
See Me!
Sympathy! Sympathy!
Spared for those resembling thee
Blind to trauma you won't see
Hungry for the death of me
Empathy! Empathy!
Grievous human fallacy
Torn from nature where to flee
From the slaughter to be
What manner of fiend
Alien and feeble (Into prospects turned feeble)
Yet maliciously clever, corrals us? (Wherein death corrals)
Enveloped in darkness
Rusted stench of slaughter (Life wasted in anticipation of slaughter)
Offal's faecal taint grown thick (Ended in unwept groans)
Blasphemous geometry drafts us singularly
Roused panic
Fleeing dread
Goaded to your end
Unhinging panic resounded through pain filled cries
Declaimed from the impervious face
Tolling our fate
On despairing instinct herded through the gloom (In the shade of cruelty's gloom)
Following our kin to disaster (Courting our disaster)
Abrasive stone surrenders in shortened tunnel (Liberty irrevocably shortened)
Abominable surface slick with filth (Ethics compromised, mired in filth)
Echoing into silence
Railing pleas of the fallen
Gaping weight of the slain
Dark presage of slaughter
Stench of blood
Taste of fear
Hot with terror's cold death
Dressed to feed
Bred in shame
Glut with grief's final breath
Enthralled by our appetite
Embodying what we have consumed
Empathy's wan effulgence splutters
In resemblances' narrow spectrum
Yet you alone imagine
You stand without nature
Sentience limited to reason
Life become a commodity
Industrialised killing satisfies gluttony
Unfettered malice of the hungry ghost

The Hanged Man
Whispered supplication
Echoed from indifferent night
Broken susurration
Corrupts dogma with despair
Anima bled
Extinguish the heat of rage
Consuming dread
Smothering panic to escape
Dawn of dreadful twilight
The yawning breach betrays
Steps like derisive laughter
Fallen from the gangway
Seething artificial light
Swallowed in bitter grief
Imparts impending loss
What is scorned, all that matters
When did you succumb
To a dreamer's lie
Content to die
That it might live?
Through diffidence affected
Self-loathing's mask of hate
A tremor of horror exposed
To seize with furtive glance
Sentimental sympathy
Resemble more than we contend
In hope common to all
Of a life shortly severed
When did you become
The begetter of lies
Condemned to die
That truth might live?
The wish of some, relief of many and fate of all
The wish of some, relief of many and fate of all (Actions are the seeds of fate)
The wish of some, relief of many and fate of all (Actions are the seeds of fate) (The disciple's fate is intolerance)
The wish of some, relief of many and fate of all (Actions are the seeds of fate) (The disciple's fate is intolerance)
The wish of some, relief of many and fate of all (Actions are the seeds of fate) (The disciple's fate is intolerance)
The wish of some, relief of many and fate of all (Actions are the seeds of fate) (The disciple's fate is intolerance)
