The Power of Reason Compels You! The Power of Reason Compels You! The Power of Reason Compels You!
"The antithesis of Clarity is confusion,
not confusion."
-- Basic Logic for Black Metal Bands

Black metal
rebel
clueless
underground
confusion
lost
in knowing not the enemy
transfigured full
the enemy becomes
widespread
religions
tribal
hatching yet of cults clichéd
the kettles small
of vultures
circling
round the globe
to perch
select committees steeled in
isms breakneck black barbaric
chaos
dark
romanticized
the common institutional
extremes
of nations
factious
suicidal
genocidal
neo-Nazi
party
pals
of
Satan
transcendental
Christian
shit
medieval
paganistic
piss
high
vizard sly
and lizard serpentine
the high-speed tempo vocal shriek distorted
tragic
stock-in-trade
self-love
with autographed Black Sabbath
unoriginal
and used guitar
at twenty thousand
simplest still of instruments to prick
and tongue and bone
the composition unconventional
conventional
as superficial paint and sexed-up pseudonyms
consumerized
till slowly moving in
to feed
a wake ingests the brain.
*
a dedication of Respect
for
the ideology of Reason --
the sole metal of Ethical Enlightenment
a revolving helios free verse menippean satire on
the art of self-indulgence
in
the age of unintelligence
(aside from unintelligibility)
march, 2023 -- in the musical refrain of metal,
sentiment heavy
trumping yet
Sense humane
not confusion."

Whispers in the underworld, a haunting melody bereaving,
As shadowing, blue falls darkening in the depths of the grieving.
The maskless child, an evil soul, storm-eyed and unforgiving,
A loveless union begun in the closure that is so unrelenting.
Closure brings comfort in the demure cloth of night,
As two souls unite in the underworld's darkest light.
Whispers in the night, a presence ever so present,
A familiar stranger, in the depths of the lament.
Creation falls, as our love becomes a lineage,
A trembling blood that flows through our veins in homage.
They thirst for our pure blood, our love so divine,
But we must honor our love, at the foot of the tree, the shrine.
By the foot of the tree, we become shapeless, a sanctum,
A love so pure, yet so dark, so heavy, so solemn.
Our love honored in the underworld, a place where we belong,
A tragic love, a haunting melody, a story that is forever long.
As whispers in the underworld fade into the night,
Our love lives in the shadows and the dark's light.
Remembering us, the underworld's tragic lovers, forevermore,
Whispers in the underworld, a haunting melody, we do implore.

Haunted
Darkness falls
Hearts once intertwined now become torn apart
Those unbreakable bonds
Fly away languidly in the air amidst the trees
A stunning voice echoes
Memories are immersed and consumed by shadow
Faceless and obscured
Lingering
Lingering somewhere deep down within
But here we lie
Close to the roots where emotions stem
Disappearing in the forever unknown
Remembering
Remembering pain and sorrow
There is something so beautiful and sinister
When haunted by ethereal tones and notes from the past
Written in silence
Hidden in chords
Whispering softly in the night
