"hellven" poems
open pathways to a glaring pathos
the bright light of idealism is why the optimist is stronger than the pessimist
retreating into the no-eye-strain of a dark, frightening cave;
what was beyond the light?
the pessimist says the fear of the known is safer
while the optimist treads a sidewalk-highway-backstreet of light
ouch-
ouch-
ouuuuch, his eyes!
keep
going.
pushing through the grand theological cosmological philosophy zen
the optimist marches past the foot of the rancid infection
what self-inflicted pain for the sake of surrendering all responsibility;
the reason there are governments
countries
orthodoxies
is because of a grand laziness which clasps the wrists of the weary
fearful of their freedom as it is an unknown
grand cosmic
sun-star;
"stare any longer and I'll go blind;
march towards it and I will disintegrate."
"Are you sure?" asks the optimist
"No, but I won't take such a naive risk. I have been around long enough to cease trusting anything,
especially myself."
"Then you are eternally ******
I seek my own grace."
there is a silence as the pessimist rounds to sigh
and the optimist wheels himself towards the stars.

I looked the devil in the eyes
He said I'll never fly.
My soul is his paid in full
I'll surely never die.
Stuck on hellven forever
No tears I have to cry.
I'm lost of words I'm lost of time
This little lite of mine.
Was never mine my soul is dying
I swore and wasted time.
I pray to god to save me please
But it's a waste of time.
I looked the devil in the eyes
He said "you'll never fly!"
Stuck on hellven forever
Ill surely never die.
