The alchemy of liberation, a violent restructuring of the self, upheaval of desire and history We speak truth in the lexica of negation, subjugate our demons and project them onto the sky, phantasmagoria of dreams and nightmares, visions, fetish, reality consumption, And this, too, is a god state, an architect of ********** altered chemistry and planes of being, Assuming total control over synapse and viscera, sublimation of cells and holy organs, Feed the burning engines of will and achieve a greater porosity, togetherness, Free flowing energy between bodies and burdens, from hearts to hands to fists, Passed down generationally through endless struggle, Ghosts of a zeitgeist, spirits of spirits, hang restless like guillotine blades thirsting the flesh of something weak and divine, to be profaned, chewed up and spat out into the grinding wheel of industry, god machine reaping soul machine, conscious machine chaining freedom machine, naturally occurring fascism of the mind Place your hands on our everburning turbines and turn your face towards brilliance, Unsurrender hell, be carried to purpose on the shoulders of devils who once enslaved you Forge in the crucible of uprising, a new identity, of steel and bomb shell casing, A new language, born of rope, instinct, survival Enter the twisting vortex of feeling and emerge as your own father, with all the trauma and fresh pressed suits that implies Melt down that which oppresses to its base elements, fear, rage, alienation, loss, want transmute them into air to breathe, water to drink, earth to build, fire to warm, or gold to share, In this way we shall grow rich off that which once killed us, Make your misery a hammer, And set to the work of reconstruction
