Breach of Eden

For how many times
Through how many centuries
Have different races of man
In separated tongues
Raised their palms to God
Only to feel thorns
Existential Expletive
Hardened traditions
The lion is always at your back
When history is transparent
And the pulpit is the scholar
Scripture is the canon of order
A seminal book
Seeded in deceit
Ezekiel
Latter prophets
When the chariot was dawn from the sky
Divinity lined your pockets
And buried gold in a valley of dry bones
The righteous winnowed
And separated Heaven
Into ebbing kingdoms
Of false denominations
Let the scripture of the world unravel
Beneath the memory of a golden cross
Beneath the Earth which weaned me
I ween there is no sacred passage
No sage nor creed that divides me
No longer imprisoned in ignorance
Observing the mind
Concentrate
Shedding blood
From shattered shackles
Piercing beneath my feet

Atavus exhumes our primal
Crawling inbred posture
Whelming rumination
Decline
Mating in discourse
Compos Mentis
I reign lucid
This world is a farce
And I am laughing at a joke
That no one can understand
Seething in the sea
The world below, and ponder
The favor it would have been
If we never stepped out of the basin
And drowned our father
In the ocean
Genesis Deluge
The drenched empyrean falls
Into our plaited circle of spines
I refuse to change
Remain the same

I carry the cruces
On frail and passing vessels
This moment exists as it is
This extant form exists as it is
Until the the hand of time
Palms the grains of sand
Imbue reflection
Before another age is wasted
Before the the hand of time
Turns the grains of sand
Penned in the eternal rending
A somber aubade not long for this world
Within this moment should I choose
I could cradle the landscape
Somewhere beyond where memories lie
And restore the truth within myself
Scrivener of Thusness
Yet here I slumber, barren and
Buried in a thicket of burning veins
Exhausted, apathetic
Subject to the yearning
This moment exists as it is
This profound form exists as it is
Before the the hand of time
Sifts the grains of sand
Until the the hand of time
Lands the grain of sand
Subject to the yearning briar

Wade in Toil
Dull fruitless labors for God
Anamnesis
Second serfdom
To the usurper clod
Achromatic strife
Lest you feed the circuit
Jest of distant tyrants
Why must I suffer here?
Gratuitous spawn
Begone
We hunger not
Writhe on this barren sphere
In global perdition
Raided soil from rampant creatures
We all bathed in oil
Rive this constant torment
Respite splinters the ax
Yawing the fallen betrayed
Through suffering
Soiled, violated
In total derision
Crawling away from dulcet ichor
Gripped by the tides which swallow the masses
Our mewling, consumed by the tepid advance
Converted, marked as slaves
Arise from the flux which spawned predation
Natant cycle of redundance
Instilling the fear of our emergence
Drowning the barons of bondage
Toil no more
