Calliope

 I

Calliope say

Use my two 

Sacred keys

One 

Silver for remorse

One 

Gold for reconciliation

To enter a new kingdom

Riding a wild

Tennessee walking horse

To be cleansed by 

My powers

And forces

Of redemption and salvation

To be divorced 

From Sin

As you walk through 

Your life

And all you meet

On its concourses

To be made righteous 

To try to ascend to Heaven 

As you conquer

The virus

Of pious apologies

And actions

Of those creating

Crisis 

To blind and try to 

Guide you

With poisoned words

Filled with typhus 

To take more

And more boosters

Of sweet lies

And vaccines

Until your lifeless

Before you rise

Up from the dead 

Like us

So I your eternal muse say

Let the poetry in you

Rise up

To fight 

The corrupt

For your freedom

Before you stand

Outside

Waiting for his highness

Saint Peter

To open his silvery

Gates

To a new kingdom

For the worthy and 

Righteous

So use and abuse my powers 

Until you can join

Us

To encourage others 

Just lost 

In the swirling 

Universe's Dust
