There's Nobody Like Him, Afterall

too soon love descends
into lunacy
and becomes a carnival
marriage, entertainment and liberty
mix freely without agreement
museums of electricity are closed for want
of brotherhood
the goddess sings freely of war
and our statues of the muses are covered
with masks of patriotism
the house of lies is now open to the public
when will we have our own set of keys?

Down with funny men and funny people!
Down with glory!
the boots of the agnostic
sit idly on the heads of
believers, we we we
we sing in this cruel opera
that plagiarizes disappointment
Leaving the beasts the
deceivers to sing that old funny tune
the one that vowed faith
in spite of the nobody
who gave up his life
to be gloriously funny.

I like the freeway of black on the 'pushing the knobs' image... ~nice balance, both with value and placement.
That 3rd one though... you must have been in SOME mood...(or a meeting).
