A World Which Grows Smaller By The Day
It's absurd
How something as astonishing as the universe
Could be reduced down to a room in a building, on a street in a town
So that as you live from day to day
Your world starts to look the same.
The insistence on the here and now over the been and gone or the up and coming
When the here and now has been that way for some time itself
And will stay that way without intent on something else
Be it hindsight or foresight, it's good to see more than blindsides
And be it sooner or later, it's good to get it done
Whatever it may be, it too...

Take Comfort
All solace is afflicted
Weighed upon by promises unfulfilled
The scale of which has been tied in place
In fear of revelation regarding the tipping point
Nor any form of baggage relinquished
That which we all too quickly set into motion
We soon all too quickly set in stone
Once it's got away from us
And ran it's course
Now calcified in the wake of coming unrest
A population idly stares between discontent.
And you?
Take comfort
There is little else for you to know
Take comfort,
and complain of it
To others...
Weighed upon by promises unfulfilled

Now calcified in the wake of coming unrest
A population idly stares between discontent.

There is little else for you to know
Take comfort,

A Crippled Depressive Left To Fester In Solitude
A Crippled Depressive Left to Fester In Solitude
The Mind Grows ripe
All of it goes in one ear and out the other
After all
There is nothing more interesting in passing the time
Than the notion itself
Especially when it's pace slows
And it's presence becomes all too noticeable
An uncanny burden is the mind which counts it's heart
As if it were an old clock
Desperate to shut it up
Irritant like the buzzing of a fly
Now is the time to drown out the world ...

Bathe In Ashes
Where your world lay dead, covered in gore
Fear left behind at the dawn of our passing
Each who stood before the other
As if it were their own.
Love we let go blind
At the mere mention of hopes death
And our dreams become the hell we knew too well
Do you sleep often without stirring
A comfortable blanket to betray your knowing
A wooly hide for the hunted
Thoughts of money to drive you onwards
For what little time we are allotted
Before you must shut your doors
Or break down theirs again.
How many goodbyes will...
Fear left behind at the dawn of our passing
Each who stood before the other
As if it were their own.
Love we let go blind
At the mere mention of hopes death
And our dreams become the hell we knew too well
Do you sleep often without stirring
A comfortable blanket to betray your knowing
A wooly hide for the hunted
Thoughts of money to drive you onwards
For what little time we are allotted
Before you must shut your doors
Or break down theirs again.
How many goodbyes will...

Everyone's the same
Just a bunch of vacuous nonces
Lacking in any substance or meaning
Merely looking for the next hit
Cum here, cum there
Cum to fucking anything
No worth beyond lust
Just meat to be consumed
Exactly as you were supposed to be
Brain dead and twitching
Little more than stain
Aborting your humanity daily
Anything for your liberation
Forever held in your vices
Fucking disgusting
Lacking in any substance or meaning
Merely looking for the next hit
Cum here, cum there
Cum to fucking anything
No worth beyond lust
Just meat to be consumed
Exactly as you were supposed to be
Brain dead and twitching
Little more than stain
Aborting your humanity daily
Anything for your liberation
Forever held in your vices
Fucking disgusting

In defiance of nature
Opened with a recitation from The Bhagavad Gita, chapter 1 - Verses 38 to 45.
Dear Lakshmi
To you I have two shrines
For each a vestibule
One with water and a coin
One with stone and a coin
Forever in air
My wealth is this planet
Our Gaia
My wealth is our species
And it's continued presence.
This world was a garden
And a provider
And we, as the consumers of it's fruit
Are naturally, it's tenders
It was to be a cyclical relationship
We take care of the land and the animals
And in return you take care of...

The bell is ringing
I will never be able too see most people
As anything other than evil
False, thinly veiled self concerned evil
That's the damage done to me
And by the looks of our societies daily goings on
And by the looks of all the popular media representatives
It looks to be the damage done to many
It's hard to believe anyone
Everyone contradicts and convicts
Baying teams out for rights
Not for what's really right
Not for what's really true
Just for their rights
Or his rights
Her rights
Anyone's right to be right
If it means...

A Reduction Of Character
Scripture now tweeted
With the tik tok desire for ever briefer fractions of time
A.k.a the character cap
Worthy of such characters.
Hope that wasn't too long,
Apparently if there's a point to be made
It should be made quickly, precisely
And should just intuitively click...
Just enough of a prompt to fill the attentions span
If you've been taught intuition and emotion are the same
And if that's essentially all you've been taught.
Since when did our ideals have a domain name
A domain name owned by some silicon valley billionaire's ...

A deep perversion of all things natural.. Modern denial
Isn't it exciting when the herd moves as one
7 billion forgotten self's laying down to die
In the name of a world they never experienced
For people who say they must
But knowingly won't do the same.
It is best not to believe in anything
Except now, right now
Don't think too much beyond now
And pay maximum attention to now
Right now
Panic buying starts
And the exit lights are on the screen
Everyone rushes at once
Not one of them panic thinks
Not one of them knows an exit
There's lots of open doors in dangerous places ...
7 billion forgotten self's laying down to die

Blind doctrine of the ever owned self
Dreams dictated misdirected ideals,
No wonder our memories are short.
Quick to forget all but a moment,
Burying our heads in the sands of time...
There was no future save a fantasy.
Falling and consumed, you barely notice
Give a bark to Goya if you realize then
But no one can turn this glass you hoped they'd toast.
Forever, merely shown, Never lived,
An eternity of rash indecision For those to whom eternity means nothing.
Another theory in a simulation just an equation,
It's all the creation of some one
For the self it seems. ...
