This is My Life Too
this is my life too
I love taboo
taboo people
taboo places
darkness & light
balances itself out
in all locales
lighten up
or even
light up a cig
you don’t need a hot one
to have the sun
bake on your head
or to feel
the tingle
of neat secret places
they say a storm
is coming over this way
when they come my way
I may lay candles aflame
or befriend a demon spirit
and send it on a better way
to resist the storm
since I can only do
what I can do
and the taboo people
need more friends
than enemies
and what I have done
is unknown to me
at least partially
where reckless moves
and mistakes I made
but really don’t own
are tied to my neck
ready to hang me
what bullshit is this?
in my own mind
I am fine
to people who KNOW me
I am fine
sickness has preyed
upon me
crowned my head
with thorny branches
sold me out
with lies
with a disease
cancering others
all in the name of some
lofty objective
and it is not a self-less
objective
“STOP KILLING!”
I say
laying in my own shit,
while the Pope wipes it up
because too
the Christ-like people
are sick of a future
that belongs to them
that was stolen away
by pirates
yet they say I am weak
because I am nice
and because I once
used to giggle
and I came
from a dumbed down
type of life
that was served to me
on a silver platter
so they send me back there
to sleep?
I understand justice
but I know
no bailiff way of life
I just need one
to bail me out
of the occasional
grand stand
set-up
my DNA is little more
than an exotic
fantasy
made in a petri dish
I am learning
to appreciate it anyway
it has caused others
(And me)
nothing but trouble
even lives have been
destroyed over it
I am not leaving
these taboo places
or people
stripped
I understand “people”
I want to meet more exciting ones
I want to learn to swim
in the deep currents of life
not just occasionally
but all the time
not asleep
not shallow
but pacing through life
with desire
I do not want
to be dumbed down
and would only go back to that
for taboo people
so they could thrive
but I will not stand down
for little to nothing
for the paperwork
to look all nice and tidy
not for any jackass family
or organization -
occult, corporate, or otherwise
in the aim
of deliberately polluting
my life
and others like me
for all they offer
is fools’ gold
and I am tired of being fooled
and they need to grow
the hell up
I understand people
who take their life
because they cannot stand
to be awake
or because of the fear
of losing games
or for sacrifice
or for fear of torture
for themselves or someone else
or simply because life
is just too fake
I've ridden all 4 corners
of that stench
and I’m tired of squares
and boxes
and all shapes that close people
in tyranny
the experiment is over
or should be
treaties should be signed
if they haven’t already
to move forward
so all that’s left is loose ends -
people barking after leaders
and leaders barking after followers
like artificial intelligence
in a virtual reality
it's a failure
yeah “it”
the cobwebs
we are caught up in
the spider has left its nest
so where will it head now?
and what of the web?
it cannot be fully torn down
it is a part of us now
us humans
us people
I'm here to tell you
I don’t want
to torment
people's minds
so I’ll listen more often
before acting
but my thoughts are racing
about not “progress",
but a new earth
the one that that was promised
to us
in ancient times
preparations are underway
and I cheer the heroes in the effort
I’ve went the way of both a tool
driven by a hammer
and an etcher
with my own
signature
I’m telling you!
this is my life too
and I’m weighing in
I'm standing up
I am embracing
the darkness
& the light
to strike a balance
wherever I go
in this dimension
where electricity flows a-different
and sometimes water
boils fast
and anthills climb high
and the animals hunt
& play hard
where the people dance
and take more risks
it’s all believable
should I stay here?
and when I visit
or go back
to my protected home
of recent origin
I hope it is more recognizable
to the taboo places
and the people
are
more
alive
and willing to live
I love taboo
