Chance/Dance of Discourse

Babylon Fix

Lift thouselves up, oh, ye
I-dren, and be not consumed
by the fabrications of the wicked,
nor be ye fooled
by the false gods
of reality
- Jahhannibal

they beat you down
when they think you are poor
until you cannot
give any more

they stand on your hands
hollow out your core
steal into your Spirit
pimp your body as a whore

their gods ascribe your labor
their demons amass your dollars
your Soul becomes shipwrecked
lies beached on an empty shore

follow what men believe
and your sky will become lonely
the Earth, angry,
cries and bleeds
from scars and wounds received
through perpetual war
serving the reality
of a master-slave mentality
diminishes flesh
undermines stability
corrupts reason
poisons the perception of security
converts all joy
into curses and commodities
the starless and bible black
collapses the festering sore
karma redeems the crucified
reveals the greater wisdom of funk lore

the container is contained
within an infinite enclosure
which has no beginning nor end
the cell within the cell within
cannot comprehend
the divine, omni-magnificent warden

who hears the voices from the void -
songs of the angelic choir?
who ever chooses uprightness over downpressedness,
attending the work of the universal chore?
