moonlit road


by genghis gilgamesh



the path is narrow
the forest black
the green man carries
the red man on his back

the monster walks
the moonlit road
nods to a snake
and laughs with a toad

the dead man hangs
on the gallows tree
and swings in the breeze
so easy and free

where is king richard?
where robin hood?
the world is bad
but should be good

the queen in her castle
counts her gold
and sings a song
that never grows old

the young witch smiles
to hear such stuff
but the two old witches
have heard enough

the princess sleeps
in her feather bed
she is alive
but will be dead

the robin sits
on his branch forlorn
and waits for the new world
to be born
