How Typical of You
(A
Eulogy to David Bowie)
Leaving
us, you left us with yet another enigmatic riddle
Lazarus,
the poor beggar who Christ brought back to life
Riding
your Darkstar through Heaven & Hell to the middle
The
Androgonine Genie who took Aman to be his wife
Through
the mind of Ziggy you wanted us to see Soul
Love
and how destructive selfish love could become
But
from the other side of the wall a different story told
Where
my lover cried out that the Dolphins have swum
Maybe
the Laughing Gnome still taunts us with Ha Ha, He He
As
the children of Syria and Iraq eat Camel Shit off the wall
While
the Diamond Dogs of War look to recruit and kill them
Through
the Eye of the Richman’s Needle you could see
The
man who fell to earth cried out, Lets Dance, then sold it all
Perhaps,
as the Starman indicated, all will be well in the end
