PAY PENANCE.
REPENT FOR YOUR SINS.
fuck off
Trust is earned,
And I’ll stand before Isaac.
Fists at the ready,
Save the boy.
Kill the man.
the dead follow me like flocks of birds
Wheeling and taunting.
Crows upon the branches,
I’ll kill your gods.
Old and new.
Ur to Jericho.
New York to LA.
Come from punk rock,
Anarchy-riddled childhoods.
Drug addicts,
Alcoholics,
Teetotallers and elementary school teachers.
I WILL PAY PENANCE ON MY OWN TERMS.

FISTS READY.

Jehovah,
Odin.
Nietzsche was soft,
Thus spoke –
SILENCE.
It often tells you all you need to know.
Frantic mania?
Or the depths of the infinite void?
Lost in the depths of madness,
He sleeps at R’lyeh.
One day?
I’ll sleep forever.
Dream in fractals,
Infinities,
Never need to bridge the gaps of understanding –
Ever again.
Wake me up.
Peel me from my skin.
Break me down to atoms.
Sing me beautiful dirges.
Smother me in adoration.
ha
as if such a thing existed!
Paint it black,
By numbers.
Listening to the frantic clicking of time,
Marooned in a single existence.
Trapped in reality.
Forgotten.
Lost legacy.
Still writing an epitaph for a species,
Just in case I’m too slow.
I’m going out with a bang!
Use every scrap of me.
Help me kill your gods.
Small favors to ask,
Right?
I KNOW YOU.
SEEN YOUR ILK.
I know the honorable,
From the cowardly.
The brave,
From the foolish.

ill stand there and take it
Not the first time.
I AM GILGAMESH.
ENKIDU.
BOND OF THE MIGHTY,
Shed into pitiful flesh.
Weak,
Graphite nanotubes –
Carbon fiber vests.
Titanium-studded kevlar,
Do some damage.
Pacifism is about taking your licks,
Stay kicking.
Beat up,
Bruised.
I WILL TEAR AT THE NAPES OF YOUR GODS.
CANINE DEVOTION.
call down the seraphs,
the chayots who hold the throne
beyond human reckoning
I’m not a human.
I’m the Universe Serpent.
Jormundgandr killed Thor,
I’m hunting bigger prey.
punk will never die
Not if I can help it.
