Mumbo Jumbo

2781

All the mumbo jumbo 

He said she had no balls 

Accusations flying 

Stalkers on the crawl 

Hypocrisy in motion 

Winners one and all 

No confusion 

Just illusions

Of where we are today 

The mystery in history 

Time and times again 

Like a revolving door 

What is

What's not

And what shall be:

Papa, tell your children: don't touch that forbidden tree.

 

Nourished by his mother 

Weaned in meadows sweet 

Without spot, or blemish 

How succulent is the meat.

    Biblical it speaks in child's words but the story is the same. Nicely crafted

    What a strange and compelling journey, Valiantstar. Social disorder gives way to biblical warning, then ends with innocence made ready for consumption. The whole piece feels like humanity repeating its oldest betrayal under modern disguises. Excellent write, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

    There’s a strange, biblical surrealism here, where accusations, hypocrisy, history, illusion, and the forbidden tree all tumble together until the poem starts feeling like a prophecy spoken through static. The final movement into the spotless, succulent meat is wonderfully unsettling—it takes the language of innocence and nourishment and suddenly gives it a darker, almost sacrificial flavor. Powerful work.
