LADDER OF NIL

Internalized acrimony
Vessel of a conceptualized eternity
Folding into itself
A lesion upon reason

But those pages do not transcend
And those wings shall be defeathered

Transient self, the oblivious
Where thoughts became a ladder
Once arisen, destined to fall
As weight avails those rungs

And gravity remains once all have gone

To lust for the surreptitious
Consume, become
Ignorant of the waste we left behind
As crowns descend upon dusty thrones

Sloped eyes, prodding voices
Past the knell of intuition
Submit as the cattle you are

If our thoughts were eyes
We lay deceived, in pools of trust
Our wiring corrects inconsistencies
As we cry out for our true purpose

And the void does not respond
