CRISTO RAUL'

 

A SUNDAY JULIAN HALLELUIAH

 

Sunshine came around bringing cinders of sleepy volcanoes, traveling on laughing clouds through wary skies, tearing apart dreams of lapis lazuli, in the hope to kindle a heart to the last breath standing its ground.

Wolves with iron hooves ride the planes of a century in its infancy, sweeping away the sparks of a lifeless memory, at the feet of a man smuggling a prayer for the sake of a child carried merciless to the abortion table.

Hard fight back the storms of wars, to be saluted with hails by the generations unborn, a philosophy without principles, grown to write in the walls of the future, senseless apothegms, bloody schisms, when nothing remains everything begins.

Sunshine has come at last, the wind walk the avenues singing songs of boredom and economics laws for the herds of the cities to eat, cannibals!, in the name of civilization the seas rise to kneel before the madness of the leaders, of a world never meant to live beyond the status quo of fratricide and genocide, words so dear to some, for the gods to watch the show, the last laughter for whom will be?

The cracking of the heavens, the tumbling of the mountains, the war cry of the winds, life so precious to fingers like a divine mercury flying through scales of bizarre, tears, a diamond for a wound, a pound for a bloody tear, what is it all to me?

Weightless souls sailing the reason of the unknown centuries coming, looking back to times burying themselves in golden graves, a mausoleum for a king, rather a golden grave than a life free, while the belly of the M31 swallows the smokes of the eternity, give it one Halleluiah, M81 is dancing in the moon, Hubble speaks, the gods have spoken, let it be.

The ghost of a kiss follow my shadow through the streets, I look at my back to embrace its body, and when I wake my arms are full of destiny, yesterday is tomorrow, the past never sleep, only the future dreams, and the present? It stands in the stream fighting its way through wild waters. Here a wide and crazy fall, there a tycoon of the deep playing its lute before taking you with it, to the deep.

A head rises to the heights, a cloud too fat with pain to make it to the sun, a train motionless advancing, on invisible wheels, drums in the horizon, sunrise at last, smoke in the eyes, moonshine is fading away, a new day is born, in the shore of forgiveness where hope lays like a soul forgotten from men and gods.

What makes a day different to the other, a rock from a stone, a hill from a mountain, a star from a galaxy, a rebellion from a civil war? Tam tam, the soldier cleans his gun, tam tam, the Lieutenant wash his teeth, tam tam, the Tyrant comb his moustache, tam tam, nuclear war is coming. Listen the word of the tornadoes, science is drunk, the harpist is tuning its HAAARP, tam tam, humans never made it, to be brothers, tam tam, humans never wanted it, to be sisters, tam tam, humans never loved it, to be One.

A grave for a race, please, said the cowboy to the bartender, with or without epitaph, said the bartender, fuck it, said the cowboy, don’t mess with Texas, kid. Halleluiah, abracadabra, the rich get richer, the poor get poorer, the new Robin Hood takes from the poor to bail-out the spoils with the rich. So said the wise men longtime ago, you can’t drink twice the same water. Long life to the New Robin Hood, the Prince of Peace, so the wise men said. And the brute said, understood, the future rest on the hands of the rich, the richer he get the better for the poor, the poor, the poorer he get, the richer he is. Yes, not even God could have given birth to an enigma so astonishing! Am impressed!

Fears get on line like an army of assassins carrying nuclear weapons, in the name of civilization and Prosperity. A soul is swinging like the head of a fool before the clock of the hypnotizer, when I count three you will sleep. What for? To rape you, idiot? Oh you are a diplomat! Of course, son, I am the one who will tranquilize you, moralize you and advice you to be cool while you are being raped. Ah, that’s Diplomacy, sorry sir, me idiot, I will close my eyes, one two tree, have fun raping me, thank you!

Total destruction, what does it means? Mass destruction weapons, what is that? Sixty thousand nuclear bombs they blasted, fuck the oceans, fuck the sky, fuck Mother Earth, nuclear weapons those were, mass destruction weapons, weren’t they? Why we don’t invade the USA? Why we don’t invade the Russian Federation? Why we don’t invade the Republic of China? Why? You don’t understand, why you got to be an idiot? Have cocaine and enjoy your miserable life, you rat! Of course you can adopt children, you pedées! Do whatever you want, just don’t mess with Texas, you understand?

Earth look at the Moon, the Moon look at the Sun, the Sun look at the Galaxies, the Galaxies look at the eternity. It’s only me looking at God?

On the waves of destiny, dancing a waltz on the crest of a mighty sea, have you ever eaten an ice cream on the top of a cake of shit? Give me another Halleluiah!

Come on, American Black, you got to hail your king, the New Robin Hood, or would you hail the new god of the dead, Mister Mormon Superhero! What a democracy is that! Five hundred millions of souls and that’s all they can get? an Anti-Robin Hood or a God of the Dead! Give me another Halleluiah!

One two tree, says the Diplomat, you will sleep while you are being massacred!

Who could have foretold in the years of our innocence that the world would arrive at this point of indecency! How good did Libya! God, said the Libyan men, free us from Diplomats! And they made it, be free. Is there anything more gorgeous than Freedom?

One two tree, you can wake up, son, you have been already raped, tell me son, was it that hard? what suffering I saved you from, isn’t? Give it another Halleluiah!

I see it, that soul, climbing to the tree. I see it, the rope, being tied to the branch. I see it, he is hanging himself. I see him there, living is own death. And I see him there too, sitting on the bench, smoking his cigar, counting the dead. What a world, poets worth nothing, worthless prophets, insane leaders, tyrants to the dead, paranoiac queens and kings, assassins on their thrones, give them another Halleluiah!

God is praying! Whom is praying to? Is it not to me, said the soul of the hanging man, I came up here to watch the end. He said it, right? Dust to dust, ashes to ashes. So? when will the show start?

Iran is pushing down the borders of Iraq and Syria. Israel is backing the Tyrant. USA backs Israel. Russia and China gets the blame. Wouldn’t be easier to dismiss the Syrian tyrant and erase from the map Iran as a Nation? But, there would be no profit, if World Peace be reached, what about the War Industry? War is the core of the Progress.

And Cocaine is the horse to keep Paranoia rising high and strong. Today is the Black Widow of Argentina who is going to be killed by a Ghost coming out of the blue. Yesterday was the Cocaine Lord of Bolivia the one to be killed by a spider from Mars. Don’t ever have you read the news? Bolivia has doubled her National Cocaine Production since the Indian came to the throne of the Empire of the Sun. Give him another Halleluiah!

Ashes to ashes, shit to shit. One day I will wake up on a lazy cloud with an angel by my side tuning my red guitar with one of my diamond tears in his hand and singing Victoria with Andromeda and Perseus, Dylan on my arms and Nairobi kissing my ears with her grassy eyes. Halleluiah!

Another one who bites the dust.
