"King Charlamine, the Dumbass"


King Charlamine, the dumbass.
First of his name
I wear the crown that starts the reign
of King Charlamine, the dumbass,
walking in the rain
I hear the echo of the shame
of King Charlamine, the dumbass,
speaking to himself
of cold lost memories and what else
belongs to Charlamine, the dumbass,
Imagined golden crown
and his sceptre hanging down
down to dead days, the dumbass,
holding on so tight
won't give in without a fight
so he squeals and so he slaps
runs away until collapse
but King Charlamine, the dumbass
can't be killed so easily,
beneath his burning bodhi tree
he realizes emptiness
so when you swing you always miss,
King Charlamine, the dumbass,
with nothing much to say
so he pours out every day
down the drain of pages white
with a coward's meek delight
its King Charlamine, the dumbass
with his fingers in his ass
dreaming of a loving lass
can't be learned and can't be taught
always sold but never bought
is King Charlamine, the dumbass
pretending not to care
till he weeps and tears his hair,
in the bucket of despair
you will always find him there,
face reflected in the slops
madly laughing till he drops
and fades away....
To return another day
and continue on the reign
of the poor tormented brain

of King Charlamine, the dumbass.
