Historical amnesia always favors oppressors
Ignorance is most powerful
when wearing the uniform
of intelligent organization
The truth of self-realization
is Spiritual Balance
for eternal generations
No brute can tear into you
And no tyranny can bury you
The discipline of the doer
is the knowledge of work
and the art of exertion and order
Slavery is blasphemy
to the human condition
And is the construct of evildoers
and the bullies of industry -
Earth desecrated by vampire empires
People are given no time
to know themselves,
regurgitating indoctrination -
clones of the perfected circuitry
and vulnerable prey to the horrific structures
and constrictions of the ever transient Mob Kingdoms
who magically mask their muck and slime
behind
mounds of manufactured illusions of cleanliness
Only your heart and your art
can offer true liberation and freedom
It is time for fire-music
It is time for the language of rebellion
and creative revolution
to lift the righteous forces
from the spell of the diabolical ruling classes
Refusing to mirror the madness of your rulers
is to first appear to be outside of your sanity
But this is the first real spiritual appeal
to the Creator’s gateway, establishing
a true, divine solidarity -
at one with your Soul’s ascendency, infinitely
in sanity
What may be good for barbarians
is not good for me
What may be good for Christ-killers
is not good for me,
therefore
i separate myself from the sickness of the planet
i separate myself from the sickness in the community
i separate myself from the sickness of many ideologies
i separate myself from the sickness of the nation-state
i separate myself from the sickness of production, wear,
rust, and distrust
i separate myself
i separate myself
i separate myself
i separate myself
from the Psychotic Republic
