Riot, Cherubs, Roar

riot, cherubs, roar
screamer on the balcony, the boy who will glide above the bee sting
outwit the fox
out break their hearts who will will them back together for the first
time out laster, master blaster who will scream and laugh
and
and blast off
blast off, he who hangs
in the sky overlord of his mother's garden
counter outer, first round shouter, body rocker, microphone shocker who tells of not one, not two
but three. hundred. Arabian nights

the boy who beat Luke Skywalker in a light saber fight

riot, cherubs, roar
at daybreak break the barriers of sound, our eternal shackle of gravity
at daybreak soar from your father's arms, armed    
as newborn predators, as a man with nothing to lose, come
close to the point where night becomes day, where our bodies
explode and return to heaven's arms
blast us to dust, as atomic mist, through the eternal barrier of our people and you
lead us between the rain drops

riot, cherubs, roar
roar for the sky to crash down upon us, bring it down like a plaything, loved one
bring it down and set us free to riot through this universe
roar for the bee who can't ride these warm currents like you do
outwit them all
riot, cherubs, roar
