My Reason Hurts

Sorry for all the anti-religion stuff; well, not really. This school has way too many churches and religious group who push for converts just a LITTLE too hard.


Revelations 20:18:21:20:7

If any man have an ear,
Let him fear.
Take with him filial obedience
to the mandate of ancients; who through
twisting demure of tongue and air have
accounted for the descent of the lamb’s
nature. They who have solved the great
riddle of the egg and upon it bestowed
the guilt of breath, the urge to force commiseration
across colossal oceans of tears. They who have
taken it upon themselves to hover the
newborn over fields of barbs, whispering sweet
choices of compulsory repentance and the nine
levels below the shredding results of the Sun’s labor.
Take also with him and pervert the tumultuous
rhetoric contained within the mandate and
create him his own lexicon to justify the swagger
injected into his step. Use he these words
to strengthen him in times of wanton greed
and defend himself when he looses the dove
from his unclasped hands covered in spots
not washable. Let him take upon his lips
this one call to action:
If any man have no ear,
Make him fear.

Imagist Collage

Here is an attempt at another imagist collage. I have another one that is basically finished, but I want to edit it a little more before posting it. It is much better in my opinion, so if you hate this one, please read the next one.

Burning Metropolis

People rush through webbed road,
Clocks are striking rapidly in the West,
A dog makes a meal of rock,
An observer looks down,
slitting deep gouges.

Warm blood flows down the road,
Children slide,
pigeons fly from their hands.

A bridge draws up,
The river left dry,
replaced with crimson surge.

A crow flies down,
seeking solace in drink.
It finds no sustenance,
and seeks new habitat.

Acid burns through concrete holdings,
Crippling the city.
the crowds stumble,
left writhing in futility.
