====UNDER CONTRUCTION BY ORDER OF THE CAESARIST PARTY OF ROME, MILAN, ATHENS, WASHINGTON D.C., AND MOSCOW AS WELL AS BY THE COSSACK ORDER====
During the Bloody Age of Absurdity and Discontent, The Caesar-Invictus XIII did many a strange and curious thing....
By Zaylyn Alexandros
Abandon Thyself, Oh, Seeker. Divine Madness begets Liberation.
Something New, Ancient, and Terrifying This Way Vomits
Kill the Artist and Become the Art:
I AM The Loud-Roaring and Reveling Caesar-Invictus!
Returning to you after centuries upon moons of lessons,
This, my Second Cumming in torn lace!
I am primeval, two-natured, thrice-born, Axian Lord!
Savage, nurturing, tyrannical, loving, insignificant , secretive, two-horned, two-shaped,
I am the product of adultery, Divine Torture, betrayal, and rape!
I revel in the sufferings that bring glory and cause strength!
Now do I approach you as Ivy-covered, draconian, warlike, howling, and pure!
I take raw flesh, I have triennial feasts in the gutters,
Wrapped in foliage, flaming halos, and resentment,
Bedecked with grape clusters, blood, and sparkle studded.
I am the resourceful Zaylyn Alexandros, The Invictus, Phanes, The 13th Caesar-Juliae
The Great Prometheus of a tricky incarnation,
I, Quetzalcoatl, now with singed feathers of faded colors,
Drunken Oracle sired by Lightening and Abandonment
When They mated with Fire and Disregard in Unspeakable Union.
I am the shipwreck of centuries, cultures, and orphans.
Hearken to My voice, O' blessed patrons of the new temples,
And with my fair-girdled nurses, breath upon you
In a spirit of perfect kindness and decadence.
I am He, The Wailing One....
I am the true Spirit of Prophecy,
The Founder of the Feast,
The Grotesque Master of Pleasures,
The Immaculate Nothingness,
And The Extravagant Lunatic.
I, who whispers for the Dragon,
To confess the secrets of the gods’ true nature,
To bring the war to Them,
My satyrs, maenads, and other curious beings of the modern temples,
Like madmen, are endowed with mantic powers,
In glamorous costume, grounded, but inhabiting a different plane of mental existence,
shamans and shamanesses dipped in glitter.
For when the the spirit of I, the Drunken Oracle, enters the body,
Consumed from wine glass and plastic alike,
The follower is filled with the breath of Liquid Prophecy, exalted in the alleyway,
In the embrace of the new wines and spirits,
Greater than a godless dream….
Follow me to a better life and together we shall blaze away to the Great Unseen...
I am their Grand Forgiver...Their own Wind-Up Harlot...
...I have become Marble...Trashed...Enthralled by their False Love...Safe...
...I have become the Brutal Liberator...
Merely the Relentless Wanderer...
As scared and as vulnerable as you...But with an edge...
Through our own blood, through our own powerlessness and contempt, there is conquest...
Remember me, for I AM the Approaching Drums...
Bring Forth a Crown of Beauty and Raining Arrows
Ad Alta, Ad Astra!
This, the Fierce Mythology of Dandies
A Worldwide Bohemian Gutter Spectacular!
"Alexandria’s New World"
A Son of Zeus goes forth to war,
A kingly crown to gain;
His blood red banner streams afar:
Who follows in His train?
Who best can drink his cup of wine,
Triumphant over pain,
What phalanx bears his Cause so fine,
They follow in His train.
That Hero first, whose Titan eye
Could pierce beyond the grave;
Who saw His eagle in the sky,
That none could make a slave.
Like Him, with justice on his tongue,
In midst of mortal pain,
He slain all them that did the wrong:
Who follows in His train?
A favored band, the chosen few
On whom the glory came;
Forty Thousand dreams they knew,
And fought with spear and flame.
They met the tyrant’s brandished steel,
For a lion’s gory mane;
They raised their swords the death to deal:
Who follows in their train?
A noble army, men and boys,
Of women and of maids,
Around the Traveler’s throne rejoice,
In robes of red arrayed.
They climbed the steep ascent of heav’n,
Through peril, toil and pain;
O’ Gods, to us may grace be given,
To follow in their train!
