Parallel Polarities

A fued between parallel polarities

Inner connections, of unwavering complexity

Veiled by the naked, winds of sincerity

I can change faces swifter than a Pharisee.

 

Hate, cannot be measured by scopes

The devil himself was failing to cope,

With the loss of his honor and the loss of his hope

God placed his neck into the hang man's rope.

 

A covenant that he broke, fought hard and he choked

Existence was a hoax, he traded virtue for jokes

And in the sanctum that withers, hides at night and then slithers

The black holes draw hither, when bliss becomes shivers.

 

I'll place my fate, into the hands of the Seraphim

His breath stops and still I can't carry him

Eyes that bear the sorrow of a paladin,

Repressed thoughts return and they devour him.

 

It's all another means of control

Man's wickedness, has long since taken its toll

We observe the illusion as our essence grows cold

Loss of passion is the loss of one's soul.

 

Between being and nothing, I cannot distinguish

Innovative thoughts, rise up and diminish

The pride resolves, until at last we are finished

We cannot reconcile with loss of innocence.

 

Minds trapped in pathological discourses

Ideology imposed by the ruling forces,

Too blind to seek truth at the heart of the sources

Dissent is drowned out in a fusion of voices.

 

They say death is the cousin of sleep

Perhaps that's preferable to these lives that we keep

We draw blood for the profits we reap

I see all around me red, white, and blue sheep.
