Talking Head Of The Journalist

The sawed-off fingers of the journalist
walk around wearing superhero masks
to play trick or treat on Halloween night,
exposing deeds of corrupt governments.

The whole severed head of the journalist
floats on the sea to proclaim prophecies
of fierce conflict between arrogant kings
that soak the sands of deserts with our blood.

The headless journalist rides the pale horse
galloping through the streets of Washington
where the mafia thug and his businessmen
conspire to enslave people of America.

After he was swallowed by the white whale,
the journalist as prophet of the truth
strides from the waste land in messiah robe
to pronounce doom on the city of thieves.

Naked on the stage of the White House lawn,
the journalist proclaims fall of the tyrant,
so drunken senators tear him apart
and throw his head in the Potomac stream.

Sewn together by hands of Frankenstein,
the dismembered journalist rises strong,
zapped awake by electric internet,
to wrestle the tyrant in the White House.

The greedy tyrant kills the journalist
but the demon of truth rises again
to expose the crimes of powerful people
who cannot escape the eye of our truth.

The huge talking head of the journalist
floats in the glow of all computer screens
to prophesy democracy will win
with liberty and justice for all people.
