THE MOUNTAIN

  
Forty six men went to the mountain top.
When they arrived the wise men were there.
So were the Elders, the Teachers, and Healers,
And many Un-initiated men.

They played with their cocks.
They played with their assholes.
They gazed into eyes
To see the spirit within.

They drummed and sang
And chanted in a circle
For the healing of the Earth
Through themselves had begun.

Forty six men are still on the mountain top.
The wisest admit how little they know.
The Elders are infants.
The Teachers are learning.
The healers are praying
That they will be healed.

And the cry of the novices
Initiate the clan.
