FROM METHUSELAH TO MARX
jm avril
The ancient biblical king
In his Hebrew paradise
Tells Karl Marx off
For having moved the axis
In spite of the lessons
Of King Solomon.
And Karl Marx in his grave
Arrived in London
In the century of Enlightenment
In a funerary box.
The black sect animates the life
Of this lord of the night.
And Marx in his sleep
Attempts and tries
To counter the black sect.
But the biblical king is
Against the philosopher’s wish.
The rose stings, naughty,
On the old verses.
There is the law of chaos
Coming from the watery depths.
From biblical king to Karl Marx,
Groucho Marx’s having a laugh.
