The Beetle King On The Coconut Estate

As the moon rose and the hour grew late
The day held on the coconut estate
Raked up the dry leaves that fell dead from the trees
Which they burned in a pile by the lake

The beetle king summoned his men
And from the top, of the rhododendron stem.
Calling all volunteers, who can carry it back here
The great mystery's been lit once again.

One beetle emerged from the crowd
In a fashionable abdomen shroud
Said 'I'm a professor you see
That's no mystery to me
I'll be back soon successful and proud'

But when the beetle professor returned
He crawled on all six
As his wings had been burned
And described to the finest detail all he'd learned
There was neither a light
Nor a heat, in his words.

The deeply dissatisfied king
Climbed the same stem to announce the same thing
But in his second appeal
Sought to sweeten the deal
With a silver padparadscha ring.

The lieutenant stepped out from the line
As he lassoed his thorax with twine
Thinkin 'I'm stronger and braver
And I'll earn the kings favor
One day all he has will be mine!'

But for all the lieutenant's conceit
He too returned singed
And admitting defeat
'I had no choice
Please believe but retreat
It was bright as the sun
But with ten times the heat
And It cracked like the thunder
And bloodshot my eyes
Though smothered with sticks
It advanced undeterred
Carelessly cast an ash cloud into the sky

My lord, like a flock of dark retching birds.'

The beetle king slammed down his fist
'Your flowery descriptions no better than his!
We sent for the great light and you bring us this?
We didn't ask what It seems like
We asked what it is.'

His majesty's hour at last has drawn nigh
The elegant queen took her leave from his side
Without understandin but without askin why
Gathered their kids to bid their goodbyes

And the father explained
'You've been some what deceived
We've all called me 'Your dad'
But your true dads not me
I lay next to your mom
And your forms were conceived
Your Fathers the light within all that ya see
He fills up the ponds, as he empties the clouds
Holds without hands, and he speaks without sounds
Provides us with the cows' waste and coconuts to eat
Giving one that nice salt taste
And the other it's sweet
Sends the black carriage the day death shows its face
Bidding our numbers with kindness and grace
And just as the flower and its fragrance are one
So must be to you and your Father become

Now distribute my scepter
My crown and my throne
And all we've known as wealth to the poor and alone
Without further hesitation
Without looking back home
The king flew headlong into the blazing unknown

And as the smoking hurled higher and higher
The troops flying loops round' the telephone wires
They said, 'Our beloveds' not dead
But his highness instead
Has been utterly changed into fire.'

Why not be utterly changed into fire? (x8)
