God won't save you because of the frequency spent on your knees; but for the frequency sent on your knees.

Too much like zen
They say that god created everything the earth the birds the trees the seas the skyyyy-hiiigghh But no one will admit he also put, what you call sinful in your miiind ohwhoa What is heaven? What is hell? And who the hell cares if alls well? But for those who fear the end And pray for some god send well Ohhhhhhhhh-whhhoooaaaaa well Now debris it covers everything, all the buildings burned down to the grooouuund Flooding waters or scoring droughts you can't even hear the suffering all arooouuuuund Could be heaven could be hell always throw the thoughts out of my braaaaiiiinnn Because neither pleasure nor pain time just, keeps on running down the draaaaaiiiiiiinnnn. We're all the same. Maybe one day we'll use our ******* brains.

A folk song
"Get on the ground!" "GET ON the ground!!" "BAH" "BAH" "BAH" "BAH" "BAH" "BAH" "BAH" "BAH" "BAH" Eight seconds between the first verbal command and the ninth bullet's firing. You don't know blue like We do.

"A Cry for War"
-"Why do you breathe out?" ~"Because I breathe in." -"Why do you breathe in?" ~"Because I breathe out." -"How did this begin? I mean, how did it come about?" ~"I'm not exactly sure, though I swear I heard a shout." -"Well, who was yelling to you?" ~"I don't know...but I cried." -"And at your beginning, why cry, why not sing?" ~"Well because, my good friend, we start to die when we begin." -"Pfffft, well if that's the way you see it then fine. We'll let it be-" ~"Oh no, dearest companion, you've asked the questions, the truth you will see. How truly there is no real Me or real You. How the mind has disguised what is one as something two. Two sides of the brain means two processors at work. I mean I should know I've been running them since birth. My experience cleaved so I may be able to comprehend something vague called reality? All that is real teases me, it flitters around my head and vanishes into nowhere, a land beyond Time,  beyond the dead. And so that's what I mean between breathing and not. Because the space between breaths is where the Truth will be taught." -"...well...okay...hmm, um, check please!"

"A Bipolar *****
Writing with a hexed pen Bewilderment, ink-blot, psychotic again And once again, One more time for good measure. "It seems you've discovered a shipwreck, won't be long until you find the treasure." Buried deep within the ruins even air cannot penetrate So however soon you dredge it up, You've come just a moment too late. Crash upon the surface empty handed quite irate, After all you were relying on that fortune to fill a plate So now your belly's aching, rumbling, quaking As the Earth before demolishing Man's crude play-things The sound of ten-thousand mortars simultaneously striking the sand. Quick, lend a hand, or head, or ears. There's nothing to fear here. The company is pleasant. As long as we stay below ground with the dust-bunny symphony Field mice play the pianette Dare I neglect the cat faced composer? Whose whiskers entrance, enticing stupor. In the game of life there are only losers. God gives to take, he laughs when you complain, For he is the deliverer of Love and of Pain.

"For want of..."
Know that one fractal of mine previous bind, the pact of where free will lies Tied between minds, hanging by a silver thread, And severed in a moment of existential dread. To have to watch it all would be too great a burden for the human head. To carry, so Mother groomed us clever From faerie-dust tender care created a lever In knowledge of Self-drenched to the core Oh boy life can sure be a snore. When all of your intents just lead to "I'm bored" Go on now, with the leader of the fleet he has ironed his pleats Released his loved, his prized The great farce, a fantasy of divide Off to go catch the madman in his one last one-last-act. That retrieve is past.

"Breath.5"
Some walk on their hands by some cruel gesture of idealistic Faith As long as the mind is numb, the Soul is all alone. Feel the chill of a November evening Neglecting the Life-giving day. Act as if each of these things can be merely thrown away. For all that come or choose or may. As for the Individual, who try and try as he may to swear that at the end of this One Long Day That they know to be home They didn't know they were creating most if not all, of Love, of Fear, and hope. Dismay or reasons to hooray. Terra-cotta attachments "Let all Rise and Fall" by the end of your most manic, monkey-minded day You wish to say Nay To cast your flashy wristwatches off the concrete roof, in ballot to eternity, While our souls collide, aloof. Limitless, understanding, Time.

"...but this I know"(Breath.4)
We may share a halo in the dark With you- moment to minute Thirty-three percent of this decision is up to thee. Thirty-three for the one they've been calling a He. Thirty-three reserved to the necessary joined loyalty to call "this", "we" And one to old King Zeus, high Eyes piercing, black as the dead of night On the mountain top upon which the Great He resides. Drinking from elysium fountains while Most others feel a drought burn in their throats, They all hold the sorry and sordid note of a particularly self-pitying semitone. Vibrating desert air, the harmonic below While the miser, glutton, clutchingly laughs "Oh dear boy! What a wondrous show!" And chucks copper colored coins in our general direction Considering yourself lucky if "Your Man" Wins an election. I demand insurrection. Don't let them leave you scared, second-guessing Where the rest of the so-bless-ed water went. Or why we hadn't started cleaning the ocean with a garbage net. Ten ****** Seconds earlier, left with What life will swiftly be, left behind. Some will be left, just to rhyme.

"Élysées"(Breath.3)
"Please bookmark the important parts" "Avoid impermanent pain for impermanent pleasure" Obviously a detriment. So go force-feed the children radioactive seeds and chemical regiments. Only to act surprised ending with substance dependence. Not fostering the Soul Always expressionlessness "Don't tilt your chin so **** much like this" Remain Static. Until on an intimate date between Destiny Lane and Memory Way I swear there is a way to maintain an adoration for all souls in all forms. Admirable Admirals in uniform to the smallest worm on the biggest farm there is. You're not born here from a matter of constant coincidences The Incident occurred from either Two young lover's pleasure experiment or You were an accident. Sometimes, for me, these things are hard to admit. Trying to find, words to define; senselessness An eerie uneasiness builds in his chest Like the Father's First caress of a heavenly mess that began brewing under a moment of carnal duress. "Tie an Angel's tongue in a knot? Give her a kiss!"

"Journeys out of the Body"(Breath.2)
First breath, undressed first dismantled-resold for parts Critique will carry you off in a cart if you're not careful. Because in this mean - getting meaner - world we're living in At least thirty percent "believe" in "original sin" An inexcusable chip of guilt predetermined. That's twenty-five to eternity and back again. I heard her back crack again as she rolled over. Getting older Imagining bolder than cross-country renegades Left us digging ditches without a ***** Less bounty than all of Suffolk County could prescribe Matter of fact, may as well chew cyanide Than choosing you want to leave this Messy Life alive. Because you can't. No one does, Not even those filled with holiest Love Personally hand-delivered by idyllic "god" above. When you learn below, you'll feel the flight of the morning dove. The Path doesn't split with the cresting tide like the sunbeams. or how water and sky divide Have you ever seen a cloud go hide to die? We ask and beg, demand the lights in the sky To explain. Were we crafted from stitched animal parts? Or grown from Angel Dust?
