Metamorphosis

satan & god
are now shaking hands
while we kill
ourselves from land to land
so much here
we cannot understand
one thing is clear
our freedom we must demand

are we ready to
metamorphosize
into something that will
brighten our lives
or are we content with these
larval times

don't we see the perils
in the mundane white devils
shouldn't we look to zen
instead of territorial
social rewards
that come to an end
but look for something
that cannot descend
only transcend

honestly i want to stay
loose & high
i want to
break thru & fly
not sit here & cry
& eventually die
how about forgetting why
just let me fucking try

I like your style a lot. A global metamorphosis would have a brilliant effect in our world... *Lilith*

okay..i now have a better grasp on this piece. your reference to zen was not used in contrast to "demanding freedom." my mistake. regardless, i enjoyed this piece....

...i agree that we definitely need to transcend, but before that is possible there are some changes that need to be made. ///Jedi\\\

when all things are pushed aside, this ever-lasting power struggle means nothing. It's human nature, the battle between good and evil. But when we dig deeper into our selves and find our beings, everything human loses its importance.

your last stanza was great; to break free. You probably already have, but I'll recommend you to someone anyway; Anth is right up this alley, my friend.

btw, isn't it kind of funny how when you go into a bar, or somewhere where there happens to be strangers, and bring up the topic of religion or politics (the two things that dictate man's thoughts), you're bound to get into either an argument or a fight?

i like the way you started this.."one thing is clear/ our freedom we must demand..." but it appears to me that you changed your approach by the 3rd stanza..mind you i'm a bit drunk so i might not have caught what you intended...

On Wednesday May 12th, 2004, Jedi_MindFuck (318) writes:

...but i translated your reference to "zen" as a call for complacency..along with your last stanza which reads, "honestly i want to stay loose & high/i want to break thru & fly/not sit here & cry..."

..i'll check this out again tomorrow when my head is a bit clearer. ///Jedi\\\
