The whole of life can be summarized by unhealthy obsessions.

Love. Hate. Power.

(weak)

Lust. Chaos.

Lost keys,
Circling the drain
Jingling merrily from the darkness.

Taunting.
Distracting.
Forever alluding to that which is forever beyond reach.

A vampire's dawn

A prisoner's wings

One sacrifices
.life.
the other
.eternity.

Both end up dead.

but this cannot be the end...

One's corpse
Another's stepping stone
Hippety-hop to the nether banks of the River Styx;

Disrupting
A balance
That's tilted upon that crucial pivot point
Beyond all memory
Beyond all knowledge,

Leaving footprints in sand no foot has touched.

Like such small grains through the hour-glass,
Passing the time,
Simply having nothing but the nights of our lives...

Reveling in being the era
of
DESTRUCTION
the generation
to bear witness
to the tender, loving, gentle hands
of a mother
who has destroyed many such worlds before.

So shall we blink at her fire,
Gasp through her ash,
As we watch this world we've built
collapse.




Building a ladder with no destination
can only result in a long fall...

When will simple humans ever learn?

But rules of three
mean nothing
through christian eyes
all the while worshipping
a
trinity.

The only difference between hypocrites and heretics?

The blind don't see the edge before them,
Guiding the sheep,
the willing,
into their hell
as well.


Finding nothing
but a long wait
with no holy father...
waiting for their mother to come...

Maha Kali.

[destroyer]
the one who sets you free.

[OBSESSION]
what helps you make it to the end...

"Hippety-hop"...I like how that injected a little humor into an otherwise placid look into the darkness of the human condition.Very powerful...expertly penned.

Such a vivid view, a vision of fire and destruction. An interseting reference to Kali..
