Before Nations like Russia Start to Die and Topple, They Turn into a Pyramid Scheme


Somehow somewhere it happened along the way,
                        between wanting justice for all
                                                and just talking about it
like the most hollow man on earth
            marching with stale, blanding slogans,
as they turned with a new step
into lingerie of power
                                    over cobblestones of people,

that the Maslow pyramid OF NEEDS—or was it
                                                that one topped off with an eye
whose vision is 20/20
                        according to a Divine Optician
since it sees all and everyone
                                                as a caving womb?—

WAS TOPPLED IN RUSSIA

and turned over to DESIRE
with a caveat of Moloch
and running on so many nasty footnotes
that it looks more and more like some maggot
                        who is never going to fly
            and never be a butterfly
for it was conceived
                        as the endpoint of all

            of what Russia used to be and could be
when Tchaikovsky was trying his fingers
                                                            on the piano
even in that moment already
                        the Great Inquisitor had already planned it out
            and, in The Idiot, Dostoevsky
                                    had already the good pal Jesus
                        metamorphosed into a rich men’s harlot,
sacrificed for the BIG U-TURNING
and YOU-TURNING WITH THE PYRAMID
            by a merchant
(christened Hornish)
                                    with a bit of help and input
from some “really good” Russian,
the “Mouse” plus the “Idiot,”
whom a band of Swiss psychiatrists
sent back home on a trip and mission.

For somehow already there
                        the old Greek venerable AGLAYA,
            meaning “splendor, brilliant, shining one”
was already translated and treated
                        through new American hearing devices
            as the UGLY ONE
                                    of the Good,
the new STANDARD            for the IDIOTIC.

And, just as the old Maslow pyramid of needs
                        was built at first
                                    and then toppled
in the name of that one new Jesus

(“the absolutely best one in the world”
as the Kremlin assured),

blessed by the Inquisitor
under the cries of Hosanna
by the friends of the Eye on top of a tool
that sees it all              as a caving womb,
            RUSSIA OPENED HER LEGS TO BUSINESS
in her new exaltation
                        at the expense of her own nation,

            and the new top that used to be the bottom
                                                and the Netherworld
declared itself as NEW HEAVEN
                                    ON EARTH AND ON THE BODY OF RUSSIA,
saddling as hell
            what used to be Heaven
                                    and pressing it like a grave and a tomb
                        down into the womb—the worm of Hell.

            And now above it—the new Underworld
is basking, preaching—
                        and its men
whom God somehow chose to make too short
for any antique or old world’s greatness
are just like Maslow saw it—
                        a collapsing reduction
                                                between ass and mouth,

and all the higher needs
                                    now count as lower
            in the new nomeklatura and its assinity power
under the whipping, knocking knout of which
                                                Russia is moving
past the phase of a dead soul
and developing
                        at the “higher” plane of corpse
with the PR men
                        for her beauticians,

all the while her hospitals, hard trying
to handle all the morbidity wealth and flow,  
are running themselves as new human ruins
owned by some old crazy
            who wants to end it all
at the denominator of all the lowest.
