Absalom (repost)

submitted by prototype to whatever 4 monthsFeb 3, 2025 19:53:20 ago (+0/-2)     (whatever)

Oh absalom, oh absolam!
A diadem for babylon
In my hand fair absolam,
oh absalom, oh absalom

not albion, nor abalon
jubilant the pseudo-khan.
Turkman and aryian.
pakistan and great ghangis khan

who crossed the ghangis, and vlads gate
beheld by all emerald-like, (exhult!) the emirate!
and harems, scented, with exotic flowers
rich their kings, emperors their hours

all was earth their paradise, and powers
But absalom they treasured most high above all else
In the hanging gardens where erudite scholars scrawled
of the alexandrian tower, inspired by her fall
her grace jaundiced all eyes for the jealous prize
the diadem for babylom.
oh absalom, oh absalom!

And peasants and pharaohs wept to see her go.
Now none the memory but her exultations
All merchants, all kings, called her home, all nations.
the bethlehem of carnal delights
highest heaven, and abomination.

oh absalom, oh absalom.
bedlam and dwelling place
gemorahh and sodom.

ended in your shining hour
no more to rise again
but perhaps the spirit in the ages whir
arise anew, named another
exalting, immanentize the eschaton!
