Nak Aug 2020
I appear in the wasteland
the sage stands before me

In its most approachable & unassuming form

It looks at me
it says...

If it is freedom you seek,
then it is truth that you lack...

I feel empty...

I am crushed by the mace of lament

Everything goes black
I feel the fragments of myself magnetizing and molding itself anew

I am whole again...

I lay here
Anxiously awaiting my second death
My Final Enlightenment...
Nak Aug 2020
In a time...

Where...

Death & Poison are all we know

The tempest from the tower begins to blow
And the flag's true colors begin to show

Vehement...Neglect
Seeing less...Respect

No one in the tower wants to meet their mess
...and reflect

Who among you...
has the courage...
to light the torch of unity with hope's flint

And pass down the embers
to all those who cannot reach

take the jump
take the jump
To a New World
A new life
You would rather
Spend a second there
Than an eternity here

take the jump...
take the jump...

Wake up
Look into the Portal
It beckons
It exclaims that it desires your presence
They don't want you
They won't mind if you leave
AND NEVER COME BACK

So...

TAKE THE JUMP
TAKE THE JUMP

— The End —
