On Sunday, the Sun breathed life into man
and was given dominion over man's strength;
On Monday, Mars was given power over man's anger
and taught him the way of spears & arrows;
On Tuesday, Venus was revealed to her sisters on Earth
and she taught them the ways of unselfish love
that they may, in turn, so teach men
and in this realm would Venus reign 70 years times 70;
On Wednesday, the Moon was set in motion,
& it was linked with ocean waves;
with the waves of a woman's desire;
the Moon's orbit was joined with man's nerves
& filled his groin with the hunger
for women;
On Thursday, there was thunder without lightening,
so Jupiter could fill its sphere
& there teach men the ways of silence,
the means of contemplation;
On Friday, the fish were set in the waters of the Earth
& Mercury was called on
to guide the soul of man
through the darkness;
On Saturday, the orbits of creation rested
& Saturn entered in the gloom
to teach man how to forsake hope,
how to fear the new, and how
to stand steady in any error of the spirit;
Thus, in seven days were built the beings of man & woman;
if you look beyond your mirror reflection,
you will see these days revealed in you.
So also, at the end of times, will it take seven days
for the beings to be dismantled
And though we know not the hour,
yet we can say how it will be:
The Sun will implode on a Sunday,
and as the planets are drawn
to the great hole in space,
man will lose his strength,
yet survive;
there will be a famine of the spirit
as well as the soil,
yet man will survive;
Mars will be consumed by the hole on a Monday,
and the rumors of wars
will be wars, the great bombs
will explode mushroom clouds;
many will perish,
but as a whole, man will survive;
On Tuesday, Venus will be consumed
and the ways of love forgotten;
and there will be plagues, phlegm will strangle the throat,
and none will tend the boils of the afflicted;
thousands will die in great agonies,
hundreds will still yet survive;
The Moon, on Wednesday, will be torn asunder
by waves of distorted gravity
& men will have nervous breakdowns
& women will abort themselves;
all will lose the will to life
& give up the ghost;
These are the days of Earthly destruction,
in the succeeding three days
will each man & woman make a journey
toward rebirth;
On Thursday, man will judge himself
and each of the billions
who finds himself wanting
will follow Jupiter into eternal nothingness;
On Friday, as Mercury plummets, each man will lose his identity,
all sense of self, of ego,
will be extinguished;
the millions who go mad
will follow Mercury into infinite darkness;
Saturn, which sneaked into the spheres on Saturday,
will likewise be destroyed on Saturday
& in its wake, the handful left
will be tempted to lose hope
& seek nothingness;
Those who do not lose hope will be reborn
& it is they
who will build the New Jerusalem.
No doubt, my friends, if you have seen the days
of creation in you,
you also have seen the days
of destruction revealed;
I tell you little new, hoping to awaken
those who do not see, but can;
So it is written, so it shall be.
