dr_con Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Or (Read a Banned Book!): 9/27 - 10/3/2015 My quiet gets loud Do you have strength in madness or do you take The Truth as it is bound She who has been trapped by generations of greed between leather paper papyrus stone metal sometimes human skin As a matter of faith passed down by disease riddled ancestors who hid from the Mortal and invested in the Shadow thoughts and prayers most grand at least to them leading to the myth of Forbidden Books Who could open the Chasm show us the Abyss in ordinaries a teacup rattles with the passage of souls A Heretic’s excommunication from the salty sublimity of an oyster or Did You? look askance at the neighbor sunbathing or by denying the human efficiency of capital’s cold logics after all we were gestated in The Chaos Temperatures defying dualist interpretations of hot or cold nothing friendly to domestic definitions of Life or Love even the miracle Light had nothing to roost on it was seconds away but when Time Was New How far it seemed To Old men denying the young to the banning of Points of View To the petty harvest we call a feast and maybe that is alright after all so much is a simple veneer to make the leavings of Suns be pretty to dignify the scat to hide the horrible beauty at the center of our hearts and the revelations which destroys Worlds And That Book That Poem explodes them again and again and nowhere in the moving nothing the vortex of one small galaxy passing through a billion billion improbable things is a ripple even felt all that power turns to dust Or Quote thegateless.org Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcmarti1 Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 my quiet gets loud disease riddled ancestors petty harvest we call a feast Wow. The frustration is palpable in your words. Honestly, the last stanza has me puzzled as to the ending "Or" but I still like this. It resonated with me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Fascinating piece that covers so much for me: tallies with 'lost' gospels, scientific archaeology, astral awareness and thought control. A prompt that this enduring planet is in no danger from us-- but rather that our overbearing egocentric species is; for all the knowledge of our past won't change human nature. G.
