“Theory of Witchcraft”

Moronic jelly of war:
I yell at the TV lies
And cast ballots against thieves.
Is this my froth delusion,
That i have nothing to fear
Myself, but the soar of oil?

Defendants poured burning oil
In some earlier dive’s war
Down, ouch. Amethyst fear
Of the unforeseen, what lies
Past latticework delusion:
The work of germs, rats & thieves.

What use scorched earth to the thieves,
A fiery fountain of oil?
Man’s serpentine delusion
Will not soon free us of war,
Nor destroy these sacred lies:
We are beholden to fear

And it is our own deep fear
That made us resort to thieves
Because we wanted those lies
They told, as much as the oil
Was the promised goal of war;
We needed strong delusion

Attacked by strange delusion
And torn by forbidden fear.
Seraphim fell in a war
Our fate hung between two thieves
The furious fangs of oil
And a fog world built on lies.

Illunar moon, tungsten lies
Do you even delusion
Flicker in the lamp of oil,
Read graffiti scrawl of fear?
The innocent are task thieves
And that peace was a lithe war

That only lacked flames of war;
So we pray to royal thieves
Godzilla saves us, the fear
Anointed with lungfish oil
And half broken delusion.
Vampire in the crypt of lies

We are reeling, we tell lies
Against our will, gear slime oil
Nary a chance to grieve thieves
Whose best dreams erupt in war.
I too feel the pinch of fear
But i refuse delusion

And most of all delusion
That i can escape from war,
My feathers from slick of oil,
My taste for delicious lies.
My fardels outrun the thieves
A refugee from fear.

This device i snatch from fear:
At dusk i believe there lies
A way to subvert the war
T’ward lesser strength delusion.
The city is born of oil
And emaciated thieves

Who then could cease being thieves
And return slag delusion
To its skull home, dagger lies
Unpicked up; & risk no fear
Of walking away from war
Or of living without oil...

Was a time we had no oil.
The dark was a rune for fear
We stayed inside delusion,
Hovered the payoff of thieves.
Snap, fling, vote the book of lies
And let the rain seal new war.
