I saw the sun stirring like a red ball of fire

i saw the sun stirring like a red ball of fire
as the earth moved slowly on its pedestal
and an angry mob
stormed a white building filled with ugly statues
which seemed to move as if they were alive

i saw the clouds gloat softly
as a masquerade of princes died mysteriously
and noble savages roared past
beneath the sun
in all its hot fire of fury
as a new earth descended
where old goats once lived
up on a gold mountain ...
