i looked

into

the abyss

of incest

found favor amongst

the heathens

sowed oats

from the mouth of babes

lived like

john the baptist

on locust & honey

i smelled

the infirmary

of gang green

saw the pustules

of iniquity

in the righteous

endeavors

of mighty men

who proclaimed the word

of god

i trimmed the nails

of humanity

from the voice of reason

deep in the wilderness

of the disciples

of freedom

felt the holy reigns

in the stallion of deliverance

bubbled up

from inside

the earth

gathered firewood

for the hot soil

where asses are cooked

walked barefoot

on grasses

of worth

leavened bread

built of heavenly lead

bullets in my fire arm

with which

i shall smite

down

the adversary

in the name

of myself

thus sayeth

the prophet

of life

i have given my heart

to the watch maker

to grind the gears

precision oyster

& quartz

crystallized

blinded by the light

from a vein

flowin within platelets

of gold

wiped the tears

from death's eyes

made real

the illusion

of disguise

take comfort

tis a cup

of anointed

oil

that will heal

thy wounds
