Wearing the coat of uncertainty.

While the magician pulls insanity

out from within his hat,

the love rustler frisks

the golds of autumn falling,

the desperado quenches his thirst

sucking on spinifex dried

while the bastardry of royalty

rules on jewels displayed

lecturing on poverty.

Anarchy rules on the glass

as chaos is drunk

on copious amounts of guilt,

rainbows fading, trees falling,

the giants are no more

in the rise of black over white.

In a deck of cards

the king of spades

digs for gold while

the queen of hearts is broken.

The joker shares another reality

wanting to disappear

as everyone stares

at the joke of illusion

blanketing their disillusionment.

Where the cruel sea spews

drowning all beliefs,

in the fire's den

the black ash smothers

all historical thoughts that linger

no longer warm.

Feeling cold, the rabbit is placed

back into the hat,

the tricks of the trade lie dead,

the repetitive drums fade to bass

disappearing over the horizon,

the show is finally over.
