Those Empty Windows (Altered)

Look beyond those empty windows,

Find the swollen mirrors

Twist the tables

Do they spin inside themselves?

 

Look at the forgotten moon

Do you see it rot too?

 

Do you fear the system?

Do you fear it will tear apart,

The endless rhythms you've sought to create,

Only for ghosts to read those words?

 

Those words that bend in augmented illusions

And dissect their hearts

So that they are thick as flat glass,

Only for them to fit.

 

Sure, they fit-- but they also

Shatter in a million pieces,

That crack every second in every

Unimaginable dimension.

 

They have not yet realized, that the image it holds

Does not hold you for good.

Instead, its folds your reality

Till it becomes fantasy.

 

Those words written on empty pages,

They say, it speaks full of mysteries--

Mysteries that only talk nonsense,

 

Are you confused?

Does your mind dwell upon the reason

A reason that does not exist?

Or so, they thought.

 

And perhaps, there is no reason after all,

Perhaps the words,

Could, after all-- be pointless.

In the view of them, of course.

 

 

But the only thing that's pointless, is

The words they speak,

 

The words of empty meanings

The words of twisted walls

The words of the swollen mirrors

 

They speak.
