Triumph Of Life |
You found the world with your eyes and set the struggle alight |
I turned it back, black and white, so I could stay out of sight |
We fight each other alive and throw ourselves at the triumph of life |
I grew wings and a beak just to stay on my feet |
I spill blood from my mouth into yours and survive; |
You chased me off of the ground |
I drew you into the clouds, triumph of life |
Many millions of a kind, to the ground confined |
The few heads that rise up. |
Learn to take to the sky |
Carry the breed in a seed as the family dies |
The dead emboldened by the living who learned how to fly |
As you get better at killing I get better at surviving |
When you get better at looking, I get better at hiding |
Evolution of sames who change shape in the race |
And so we run together just to stay in the same place |
Red queens in our genes as we rippled and swell, unfold the heart of a shell |
We move in step like machines, not one but a sum, not a drop but a wave |
Similar we behave not a point but a hum |
The war is like a symphony that rings through our lives |
We dance together in violence for a chance to survive |
We spin around each other to rise up as we strive |
To gain an edge and for a moment leave the struggle behind |
Geminate to attain the greatness the dance sustains |
We’re both links in the chain wound tight in a braid |
We throw our lives at the game and at each other we aim |
Crusades of change for the best we made each other |
Became worlds of color and war wrought out of peaceful greys |
Violent orison that the best within us all will arise |
Compete for elites, erode the old to select without death |
There’s no best winnow to perfect, triumph of life |
We twist around the hot white fire of life |
At once apart and together we split to unite |
Evolve the same strength in each other that we use to collide; |
Becoming synonyms for antonyms, we combine to divide |
We kill each other as a test and use what’s left as defense |
Your poison builds in me, a venom that I use to dispense |
Swallow in, spit out, give birth to death |
We persist in each other. |
Dust to life to exist |
We’ve fought a war with each other since the beginning of time |
Two coils form a ladder that we use to climb |
The generation of nations of diversity we overcame |
To combine and then to give up our lives |
As we run from the violence that we left in our wake |
We give dust to the lives that to live we must take |
To usher in a new means to conceive. |
Please believe |
That we would die today to save the ones on the way |
We closed the volume of life and each page took a side |
They came together and erased what was once a divide |
A symmetry, finally as we transcend our strife |
There are no sides no divide just the triumph of life |
