Poems
Jan 2016
apostate
hand-me-down lessons lifted
from leather-bound tomes
in iterations of half-hearted exultation
but i found definition in negation
i am the antichrist
for false hope mingles with
crippling self-doubt and
cerebral self-mutilation leads
inexorably to intellectual suicide
i won't follow the death drive
rejecting fantasies of faith
in order to
overcome the world
my struggle is undertaken
alone
i will not sacrifice
reason science art philosophy
for a paternal phantasmagoria
or pastoral paradise
black sheep weren't born to follow
