Hexagonal yet fashioned into a pattern; process of dying. Sleepless before day. "Sunlight"; a curse for vampires, not wretched function. -Not impurity, the presumptuousness of those who point at us and call us sinners. They pray and sacrifice their children [pentagon]. -We preach free speech, but stab the tongues of fascism deliberately. Gaslighted by a genocidal culture, we fight back [pentagram]. ~ Carving sigils in frantic vanity eating death incarnate, whole. Hell is paradise, and here we relish the filth built up in corners, where history fears to show it's face and be struck back into darkness. Back into process, simple pattern of dying. Machines that grind flesh. War machines by name; "Liberty", "Freedom", "Safety". Sleep can be wicked. Where it interprets the death of the innocent as "necessity", or claims tradition is inherently wisdom; "That's just how it is". ~ Sleeplessly in night, I tap my finger against a cold damp window. Mass paranoia for doomsday ticking downward, not to zero though. We wait for midnight. Perpetuation of fear is hexagonal.
