The Lost Teachings of Zarathustra: Part 10

X. Mein Dionysus Dithyrambus

One day walked a man, on the streets of Turin.
He was knocked asunder, performing a Wonder --
He had gone under.
They would call this Sacrifice "sickness;"
They say it was syphilis and mental illness.
So into the Asylum in Jena went he,
"Insanity" the Cross to set "Man" Free.
Yet He stompeth on this Cross of Sacrifice
Throughout his life repudiating "Christ,"
For He was the Hammer, to bring it all down:
The Destroyer of Morality, an "insane Clown."
Call him Zarathustra, call him Zoroaster,
Call him Horus, just not Spinoza.
But if you ask me for a Foolish name to call,
Then shall Ye know Him as Parsifal.
