Gormless Gibberish

Felt the need to put pen to paper (literally) again. Sat outside in the Sun, writing whatever forces it's way into my brain...


_________________________________________


Hope springs eternal
Springs dry up in time
Move time to the side
See the glass lightly

Third eye, going blind
Libations with Amrita
Delve inside their minds

Destitue through fury
Paralysed with fear
Warm them; Enduring
Keep them ever near

__________________________________________

In battle-frayed cloth
We await the sign to
Anoint ourselves and walk on
to a fabled arena

No blood stains this barren Golgotha
Air dancing, crackling with menace

Gaze, unblinking at the enemy,
The whooping taunts of the beserk

Blood

Lust

___________________________________


Sun beads slide down the temple
The faithful assemble

Seated before majesty,
Yet the seasons slip

Confusion reigns, king for a day
The fools speaks, and
is dismissed

God answers misspoken desire,
Beggars ride, once more
they lead the charge into the tide

Where drowning laughter infects, destroys
The spiral narrows, sucking hope and
Mounted lost fire, flares.

A beam pierces the cloud,
The flock gathers, then spreads,

A new message is transmitted

God leaves us then- another stands in his stead
Judgment day is this then
The rise of the living dead

______________________________________

If there was one target, one aim,
Should it be taken no matter the cost?
Battle lines blur
"No plan survives first contact"
"All agents defect and all resisters sell out"

Whichever victor emerges must resist the temptation
For glory
Sacrificing the many
For privilege.

Privilege be damned.

Line us up in rows
Start the Thanatos machine
Those whose voice is driven by fear
Wolves lie in wait

"Fear is the mind killer" the
killer
is focused into anger
futility

We fight amongst ourselves, while
others sit back, pick up the pieces

We must unite at last against the common enemy
My friend
Else free thought will be cast down forever

_______________________________

Terror, terror, in the heather
Run away! Now or never
I'd rather bite the fucking leather
