boxed set audio remastered compilation five star rating

Here we start and finish
    the tale of William H. Bonney
    Temujin, Genghis Khan
    and Ayatollah Khomeini
who danced alone with dragons
who spoke by their actions
    and not by their words
    stirring accomplishments
    of genocide and murder
        her face wrapped in mirrors
who became a god within gods
who settled to tell all of her intimacies
    ultrasound, invisible forces
    bamboo replacing plastics
    thanks to global swarming
who understand the global economics
who stand to govern nations using finance
    which way is it to America
    Babylon among Babylons
    China, glass and movies
who still believes in Jesus
who settles for talk of harmony
    play your bugle on the morrow
    sing an oratorio
    pray in church on Sunday
        follow your dream
        as far as it will fly upward
        even if it flies only halfway up
who live for today
    recognise one day it will end
    where do you go to my lovely
    where have been, my darling young one
        zoom zoom to another good ending
who will press the button marked eject
who will press the space bar
who will press return
    return and recover their steps
who turned repentance into a dirty word
        repent    repent    repent
    I am not the only one who sees it this way
    I saw a crow and a brown bird nodding
    I saw a white swan sobbing
who will press the switch and stop the machine
who will throw away the key
    the treadmill is still running
    the rowers rowing
who shouts loudest in the mosque
who sits down for a Shakespeare show
    I bought the full set
    waiting for the band to begin
    happiness is an egg you can hold
who will break the egg
    shatter all your illusions
who    who    who
    hope manifests itself in many ways
    hopelessness is his brother
    sold like Benjamin to slavery
        walk on my ancient fathers
who shall bend you from your path
    of relativity and certainty and truth
    of trial and investigation and discovery
who, the philosopher with the biggest gun
who, the excellence of reasoned argument
    and peaceful solution
who listens to the philosopher
    Karl Jung, Lao Tzu, Karl Marx
    these were not bad men or good
    they were thinkers of intellect
who were not Bill the Kid or Stasi killers
who were poets    singers    lovers
who has a story to tell    O Daniel
    not lovers of industry and commerce
    who settle down at night
    with a good pile of dough
who will gainsay them for their treasures
    gathered from a thousand chests
    or staunch the milk of human kindness
    which flows from a greased nipple
        I saw the boxset nestled in a bargain bucket
who values enough what they already have
    it was an audio remastered compilation
    with a five star rating
