The Power Behind The Thrones

Our current reality is but a fatality

of that decadently definitive loss

of our cognitive powers of reason

in due season of a world deceived,

fast going to hell in a hand basket,

as per the power behind the thrones.” -- Marvin Thomas Cox-Flynn de Graham





Only the thirsty come to a well to drink,

else they come to sell their clever wares

to those thirsty souls who fail to think,

for the wares that are daily being sold --

(so untold in unseen slight of hand sights

of plights on high, but not in those skies,

but way up high where are leather reins

of rulers) -- are steered by their schoolers,

as a mysterious delirious invisible wind,

that lives, breathes, eats, and defecates,

as the secret power behind the thrones1,

to rule over every man's domicile home ...


Power behind the thrones, often prone

to promoting its asserted nonexistence

via dancing ruler puppets on a string

who do seek, men, to eventually bring

that fatal ring of a viper's deadly sting

of man as god upon other men to trod

into the bloody ground of that very sod,

from whence man is said to have come,

in offering up of human race oblations

in farce of any righteous United Nations,

hope of peace and tranquility on earth,

but in mirth of the most wicked of smiles …


For with that nefariously cunning smile

the Sheeple-Peoples2 are slyly beguiled,

to bathe in idiot docility of complacency

as their reality becomes human fatality

to those captives in a dungeon darkened

prison of an atrophied decaying mind,

doing time in comically fettered rhyme,

while claiming freedom asserted rights,

if we but simply sacrifice what is right

in becoming mindless maniacal throngs,

given to lascivity of embracing wrongs,

as truth becomes a relative obsolescence …


Mankind refusing as one gone a boozing,

to fire up slumbering cognitive neurons

of a mind that does dare think for itself,

be that man a giant, a dwarf, or an elf,

for men of various statures are ill fated

of themselves to possess tiniest of brains,

all for the lack of that pain of great gain

in exercising a powerful mental muscle

-- a human mind gone deaf and gone blind --

to the real reality there's a power behind

the throne of every government's power,

rulers who never truly rule, lest they fall ...


The goal as a whole is to rather cajole,

via an insidious course of searing souls,

the Sheeple-Peoples ever, ever, so near,

as acclimatized sheep, neutered of fear,

to the slaughterhouse of utter profanity,

where soon shall reside all of humanity,

feeding upon golden altars of ignorance

in given wholly over to that cannibalism

of a demented mind's screaming schisms

of flesh for sale, to copulate or impale,

flesh for food in the lewdest of latitude's

promiscuously pornographic evil brood …


Logic now relegated to the raging rants

of army's ants to battle cattle to saddle,

in attaining bloody spoils of conquests

after godlike ascertainment of who dies,

with all we ever believed revealed as lies,

the power behind the thrones, now overt,

establishing world order, quip or quirt.

We all go to the sky when it's time to die,

the power behind the thrones condones

as cult classic fans of that nihilistic film

-- in having its fun so brazenly in the sun --

Logan's Run3, inspiration for Agenda 214

1 Power Behind The Throne �" someone who does not have an official position in a government or organization but who secretly controls it. http://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english/the-power-behind-the-throne

2 Sheeple People �" A word and term I find myself favoring in my attempt to communicate the all too factual reality that people tend to allow themselves�"even seem to want�"to be led, watered, and fed, much like sheep, trusting others with decisions and truths regarding their lives, their futures, their welfare, and their safety, rather then shouldering up such responsibilities themselves as individuals, in finding and enjoying the comfort of numbers. The word sheeple was first coined by actress and Wall Street Journal writer, Barbara Anderson, in 1984.

3 Logan's Run �" Logan's Run is a 1976 American science fiction film directed by Michael Anderson and starring Michael York, Jenny Agutter, Richard Jordan, Roscoe Lee Browne, Farrah Fawcett, and Peter Ustinov. The screenplay by David Zelag Goodman is based on Logan's Run by William E. Nolan and George Clayton Johnson. It depicts a dystopian future society in which population and the consumption of resources are maintained in equilibrium by killing everyone who reaches the age of thirty, preventing overpopulation. The story follows the actions of Logan 5, a "Sandman", as he runs from society's lethal demand. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logan%27s_Run_(film)
