Moai
10:55
|
|||
We stand as Moai in a field of illusion
as time erodes us and artifice crumbles,
as action ceases and our will dissolves,
as chaos engulfs us and truth is revealed.
No agency to escape that which is in motion.
An incessant march through time while rooted in perspective,
moments washing over us as waves upon a boulder.
Erosion and dissolution bring new forms to light,
each withering closer to the truth.

Green & Maroon
11:18
|
|||
My disgust and pity grow with the passing of time.
Each heartbeat a pulse of hatred.
My rage cannot be constrained within the walls of my flesh any longer.
I open myself to chaos, I submit myself to chaos.
Solipsistic nihilism envelops me, and I am no longer alive, or dead, or even human.
There is nothing to understand, there is nothing to control, there is nothing to regret, there is nothing to hope for.
There is only the chaos of submission to a thousand empty desires and the sublimation of command into a vapor lighter than air.
A thousand births, a thousand deaths, a thousand screams, one final breath.

Ab Aeterno, Ad Infinitum
09:28
|
|||
Returned to the earth, the cycle neverending.
The blood on my hands a realization of the madness.
The self I’ve come to know exists outside of my control.
Deceived by possibility, imprisoned by disorder;
an awareness of the burden that we all share comes to light.
Ab aeterno, ad infinitum.
Time presents no canvas of possibility, but reveals its masterpiece with each crude brushstroke.
Relentless in its march, we cling to delusions with a fury begot of powerlessness.
Clawing at the walls until hope becomes regret and pain becomes death.
Ab aeterno, ad infinitum.

My Flesh Is But a Vessel
13:00
|
|||
My flesh is but a vessel for the madness that commands us;
Corporeal performers in a play without morality.
I no longer question my role within the vastness;
Atavistic impulse rises to the fore.
Each act a veiled submission to
the entropy simmering beneath the surface of our perception, bringing all life to its center.
Without hesitation, and powerless to change,
I channel chaos’ will upon those who are to blame.
We are all to blame.
