“A Temerarious Act”

“This president is an awful disgrace”
Blasts the radio with heavy tones
Full of sweetness and sorrow
Madonna reminisces in a song

Accompanied by a lightsaber duel
“This use to be my playground…”
She sings as the music plays on.
“Impressive, most impressive”

Darth Vader praises her,
With his deep booming voice,
“Because I love you,” answers Kate Moseley
While Doug Dorsey looks down at her bemused
“Don’t forget who said it first,”
He remarks before they kiss.

All of this has happened before,
And it all will happen again.
Back to the chapter menus
And click the play buttons.

With physiological crutches gone;
The story will continue.
As the same song repeats
And talk radio blares on and on.

Long lost and abandoned.
Minutes now pass with,
The quickness of seconds
This much stimuli can drive one insane
Yet for those touched with the fire,
This use of media is pretty tame.

These thoughts far from lethargic
With the trade of midnight mania
For daily depressions
Has gone the other way

Death is no longer a slim seductress
On the dark side of oblivion.
With soft moonlight in her raven hair,
A silhouette of shadows and curves.

Beyond the ink black pit of nothingness,
So deceptively deep and incredibly wide.
Lies an ocean of rudderless boats
And a sky of kites without strings.

With hope restored to the inflicted;
Their world is a little skewed.
For them being knighted is likely
And getting kinged is nothing new.

Living forever is just an option -
Included with incremental infallibility.
Omniscience.
Omnipotence.
And finally godhood.
