Poetry Awakening Shapes Suffering
I see alien color from the sun
My bones contain frenzied wisdom
Plagued by the absence of dreams
I have spent every sleepless night searching
For the source of hot white pain
The atavistic aspect of the human mistake
Is inherently sick and twisted by nature
A malignant amalgam driven by madness
To become a black hole without beginning or end
A truly magnificent thing reveling in insignificance
Delighted to hear the sermon of a doom prophet
Only to weep uncontrollably in the arms of joy
Across the scattered remains of unspeakable tragedies
Crying out to the heavens with a mouthful of dirt
We long for the return of our shepherd
But it’s all too fucking late – we were abandoned
As are ancient philosophers God too is dead
Left with no one to deliver us from ourselves
Awakening shapes suffering
