"The Ayatollah is dead!"
will the Shah return
will the world burn
in a cauldron of religions
will an Orthodox groom
wed a liberal buffoon
and appease God knows who
for a fifty year revision
is it all just a hoax
to explode like a joke
in the arms of a Pope's
universal intentions
"We will see",
saith the witness
