Pumpkin Season

Now is that time of the year when pumpkins
Fleetingly appear behind every shop window
And the hell with all gargoyles,
Demons and living dead of Halloween.

I'm fleeing
This pervading madness.
I no longer rely on anything, good or evil
For down here,
None shall be my king.

And you, infinite
Through oblivion,
My spirit and echo of my life,
You shall be,
You shall be my path.

You'll light up
My way out
Of this matrix of deceit and predation.
You shall be
My weapon of choice.

A Prayer to Saint Patrick

O Saint Patrick, come to us!

The naughty Leprechauns

Have gone totally insane

Creating havoc all over the Kingdom.

Those lawless demons

Who are challenging you

And unraveling laws,

Are scary as hell.

They got everything painted upside down,

There's no right side anymore.

Everything is at a loss,

Their might is right.

O Saint Patrick, wake up the world!

Shake the legions of sleepy heads,

Bring them out of their deep stupor

To face the Enemy.

Take the scales from their eyes

Before the warmongers,

From beyond our frontiers,

Go tickling the Bear in its lair.

May they stand

Against the Odd

And may the pull of the Light

Win them over.

Down in the Well

One lousy Christmas

For a jailed Easter,

And none of them catatonic bells

All glued to CNN,

In a mainstream coma,

Will ever ring the end of Lent.

Get your bets down,

The wheel is now going.

To hell or high heaven,

The die is cast.

Bafflegab

And iron masks,

Go astray

And hope to die.

Resist or conform

For better or for worse,

Mindfulness

Seals our fate.

Truth will mess you up.

Or set your free.

Faith or fear,

The choice is yours.

Where we sow light, we glow all!

Pharma Police

Pharma Police, arrest this man

He wears no mask, he sneezes like a lidge

He looks like a deboned cameo

Pharma Police, arrest this girl

Her killer stare does really make me shriek

And we have deemed her unhealthy

This is what you get,

This is what you get,

This is what you get,

When you mess with us

Pharma Police,

I've snitched anyone I could,

It's not enough

Pharma Police,

I've snitched anyone I could,

But we're still on the death roll

This is what you get,

This is what you get,

This is what you get,

When you mess with us

For a minute there

I ditched myself, I ditched myself

Phew, for a minute there,

I ditched myself, I ditched myself

Persephone

O rage, water and thunder
From ahigh,
Persephone is leaving us
Low and wet,
The gloomy rustle
Of shivering trees
Whirled bare
Of their blazing fleece
Of gold and brass galore
Portending
The celebrated return
Of the Queen
Of the Underworld.

Spellbound

The lunatics are in the House,
The Mad Hatter ate the mouse,
And all of them puppets on a string
Filthy greedy pigs on wings
Soulless ragdolls on a pole
Weighing their heavy toll
Down on you people.

All of them possessed,
Mesmerised, anaesthetised,
Radicalised.

Cut cut cut
Cut the rope that leads!
Bite bite bite
Bite the hand that breeds!

No fear no feed.
No pain no drain.
No lies no blinds.
No war no blight.

Hold on to love,
Love the light,
Light the hope,
Hope for light.

Remember, recover,
Reclaim.
Remind, redeem
Reinvent.
Recreate, reconnect,
Reflect.

Expose, explode,
Expel.
Blow, breathe,
Break.
The spell
That binds.
Outsmart
The masterminds.

We are the light.
We are the life.
They are nought.

Year In Year Out

Dodgy, fucked up days of yore
Under misspells — such a bore
Indecent blood
From iron to green
Earth year downing on Earth.
(Kaboom!)

From fast asleep to wide awake
The goo and the bad years at stake
Goofed the head-start
Laughed its arse off — damn it!
(Heehee!)

Stolen, ripped-off — years of gunk,
Bogged down like gulls in the junk,
Gushing out in agony.
(Waaaaaa!)

Feary, stressful years — inconsiderate
Foully, fishy, smell a rate
Mark-off year ticking off
Takes jabs and shots
By hook or by crook — the scumbag!
(Tallyho!)

Mug years for all the muggers
Riff-raff, buggers,
Mishap years of crap.
Gosh! New Year's a bleeder
Gash cracked open and cured
Undeferred.
(Ouch!)

Sweet year to the ear
Unchains the dark
(No more chickening out)
Saves us from the Night years.
(Boo!)

“Pass it on” says the Fearless year
To the Merry year.
“Long live life
All year long!”
(Cheers!)

NOTE: This is more a variation than an accurate translation of the original in French, as you can imagine all these puns being literally untranslatable (and the other way round). But I certainly do enjoy a good challenge sometimes.
