The Holy Fool
Falling always Flailing at the reins Careening down the path of fools Chasing ego’s ghost down promising corridors Only to find his chamber bare Stripped of agency Wallowing in confusion Meandering morosely with the crowd Aimlessly asea I vomit in the squall Rescued only by epiphany’s embrace A moment of clarity Birthed by a taste of nothingness To oblivion I now state my vow Self destruction, the only craft May the grandest design be mine Grin of contentment grows as gravel heals into the wounds Lay with whores Stare into the sun Embrace the most potent autonomy x2 But little could I know The sweetness of this journey’s end Sublimated annihilation Never to gaze upon this world again Open my veins and taste the sweet proof of free will My search for meaning now complete Reaching epiphany while bleeding out Gazing down upon the lost

There is a word Its bonds fast secured Upon the minds of generations of the human race Quick to the coward’s lips Instill fear of punishment Upon the minds of generations of the human race Examine these contrary ways If by reason you are swayed Lay your banner ‘pon the ground before the human race In soaring exultation we embrace the most sublime expression Scratch of ink on paper Poetry, ring aloud! We grasp the potency of our tongue and we are standard bearers For the width and depth of language in the world Show us the man who in the depth of soul does not Hold a reverence for clarity and truth Yet those behind the podia in our faces shove Fairy tales of beings undefined above Vague notions spat from lips of power Approach the word that is the foulest of them all “God” is the worst word As language devotes its attention to the truth We stand guard against those who would use it for abuse “God” is the worst word

Sovereign, Peddler, Pauper, Priest Sovereign, Peddler, Pauper, Priest Salvation of the soul Wed glut of goods In market sold Charlatans! Ever conniving the peddler offers a gift with his wares Goods for coin, wisdom for free “Freedom is your power to purchase from me” Enter the priest “Deny the state or be apostastate” His tales a gateway for fools In the stream of commerce let loose The Sovereign shall not be denied! Shred the veil Open the tome for all to see Let the inscriptions fade Let the apologists bleed Demagogue Plant the seed Exploit the flock Wool for free Such is the plight of the pauper To the priest and peddler a schmuck Sold the tale a thousand times over His toil too little, too short on good luck But the rule of god and coin Forever at odds with our ends most sublime Shall be usurped by the will of the sovereign Our will shall not be denied! The banner languidly falls The paupers gather outside Chalice smacked from the hand The tale of the priest and peddler denied

retching and faltering in the putrid haze a din of groans in agony upon mounds of decay consumed by inflicting carnal misery sullen eyes stung by ammonia weep harvest of disaster the chalice of suffering overflows fountains of hubris in a desert of shame mocking sacrifice, seeking fortune in despair on flaming winds fly embers from the east prism clouds gild the pyroplastic air pillars of smoke and ash arise from summer’s altar charred bones in steel and glass upon the pyre relentless tides encroaching upon the shore immemorial waters, reclaiming sediment and life eroding clay to dust, dissolved into tears senses fade to echoes in the deep ground glass lung, weakened stridor fear sweats, drowned in pathogenesis succumb to the self-inflicted storm

Unskillful fool Don the blindfold of arrogance Stumble seemingly unphased Stand tall against calamity Until the drool upon your tome collects And sees the dam erased For how long will you turn away? Suck upon the teat of lies For how long will you keep the truth at bay? Denial of the empty skies Price to pay Consequence for every act Torn away from comfort Oh, how the revelation burns When the vessel explodes Bathe in horror A tidal wave Of chunks in bile marinated Your comeuppance all at once Flatline on the pathos from which you hid For so long had you pushed the pain away Shat upon the lens of truth Price to pay Oh, how the revelation burns

Cries of pain punctuate the empty skies No shining light above Meaninglessness reigns below The blind once led the blind But now no masters remain Unity in nothingness We shall rise above it all End the lies Face the pain Free yourself as only empty skies will remain An ancient tool for understanding things We could not comprehend Lies passed down through generations Keep the masses dumb and blind Negative connotations Pinned to those who go astray Unity in nothingness We shall rise above it all

Dismantle Christian Apologetics Comrades! We have embarked upon the grandest martyrdom Steel yourselves against the lure of the siren song Let resignation dull your pain Chorus: Shred the veil Smash the lenses of rose Do not blink as your pupils constrict in the newfound light May the worshippers of the banner Gaze into mirrors of contempt At the example or our sacrifice Such majesty in our suffering We scale the throne of humility Behold! Our living treatise of apostasy Repeat Chorus We stand upon the edge A moral precipice Oh, such righteous ends The story of humanity is ours Bleeding from every pore We bleed forever more We sip the vintage of the dead And so drown Bleeding from every pore We bleed forever more We seek the vengeance of the dead And so drown
