To Kill a God
There's chaos in our bones
demanding
to
be
free,
a small black hole
hidden in our souls,
calling to us,
pulling us,
toward the chaos of life.
Our glances slide past strangers
we are...
afraid,
they can see,
the endless need,
to release this primal plea.
So we numb our chaos
with lust and desire,
to
glimpse
the open cage
through sweat and musk
in moments feral and sublime.
Endlessly
seeking
pleasure and pain
to
feel
something...
more than nothing,
never knowing
the chaos of our souls
is
dying
by slow degrees

Author's Note
Chaos was once a god without eyes to see, ears to hear, a mouth to speak, etc. As gifts, holes were bored into Chaos' head that he might view the world as we do. A new hole bored every day until the seventh day when Chaos died.

That is profound.
The idea of internet chaos seeking to unite with external chaos.
(I very much like the concept of chaos.)
And then..
Increments of diversion, incrementally wearing away at our souls?
That is incredibly profound.
Wonderful, thought provoking piece, Shaman.

Sorry for the lateness of my reply. Chaos theory states energy always finds equilibrium, There are so many interpretations of that theory, it's mind boggling. With physics that's a given but what about emotions and personal energy? We strive to be .... better than we are, yet that energy is always being drawn to points of low energy. Interesting ideas on spiritual advancement, wouldn't transcendence also be subject to entropy? Meaning we can experience enlightenment but it would be an impossible permanent state of being. How many spiritual teachers have been condemned for being error prone humans? It might mean they can be spiritual guides even if they seem hypocrites in deeds and actions. Maybe it means high levels spiritual of energy cannot be sustained on this earthly plain. ... Doesn't mean I'm going to stop working on my soul however.
