The Third Injury |
For ever now man has been lost |
In comprehensive darkness, seeking control |
Great minds have flakkered |
Casting shivering light upon |
Looming immensity (possibility) |
Mankind detested what was unveiled |
For it meant giving up his inbred sense |
Of superiority being reduced to but a splat |
In the blackness of the eternal flow |
Rise above me |
Chasing shadows through my head |
Thinning as smoke when I try |
To grasp what was not meant to be asked |
Betrayed by origin and belief |
Humanity now suffered a third great injury |
Mankind lost his head to the axe |
Of freudian philosophy |
You are the keeper |
You leave the site on burning |
My only true kin |
Yet you besiege me with… |
With doubt |
For all things lost |
Come back to haunt |
With sodomizing threat |
Crazed by the voices in my head |
Things new spoiled by regret |
How he closed his bleeding hands |
Not willing to give up control |
Staring disbelieving |
In the dark nethers of his soul |
You are the keeper |
You leave the site on burning |
My only true kin |
Yet you besiege me with… (death) |
In the eye of the storm |
A sombre scene is set |
A refuge for a familiar figure |
Lying petrified on a bed |
Paled face, eyes wide |
Staring at the tapestry |
Of swirling emotions |
Above his head |
His white lips open |
Unable to suppress |
— a scream — |
Is this me I’m looking at? |
