VOICE OF EARTH MEDIUMS
Philip Lamantia
We are truly fed up
with mental machines of peace & war
nuclear monoxide brains, cancerous computers
motors sucking our hearts of blood
that once sang the choruses of natural birds!
We've had enough dynamos & derricks
thud-thud-thudding valves & pulleys
of the Devil Mankin's invention
And soon
if they aren't silenced
and we survive the sacrificial altars
of the automobile god and the vulvas of steel
spitting molecular madness
through layers of satanic dust
if the complete crowd-manacled Machine
isn't dissolved, back into the Earth
from where its elements were stolen
we shall call on
the Great Ocean Wave
Neter of waters
and the King of Atlantis & his snake-spirits
otherwise known as
Orcus
Dagon & Drack!
to send up calamitous tidal waves
-a thousand feet high, if need be -
to bury all the monster metal cities
and their billion, bullioned wheels of chemical death!
Oh, William Blake!
thou can overseer, if it please thee,
this lesson of Aquarius Clean Sweep
that Earth's beautiful spirit of purifying Ocean
shall stop these weights on and plunder of
her metal blood and very thin skin
to teach us Terra's song of taoist harmonies!
