THE DIVINE COMEDY


It’s about that time
When god made the rules
And everyone followed 
Like a fool
He said “Let there be light”
And there was light
He said “Let there be life”
And there was I
Bearing the torch
Of my might
He gave me strength
He gave me will
Then he kicked me down
Like a vermin
He said I was greedy and uncouth 
And the fiery pits
I shall rule
In the abyss
I created my world
Of beast and demons
And hounds of hell
Then the day came
When the apple gave man conscience
The very wisdom they chose
Taught them defiance
Since then I’ve been playing my part
For I conjured  a world of greed
Where man became a slave
Of his own need
And now I wait for the time
When the Horsemen will walk in sunshine

IN MY MIND

Consciousness and loathing
Takes over my mind
I sit in the corner
Of a dark room
And gaze at the door
That spills in some light
As I sit there wondering
Several thoughts pass my mind
While I flip them like pages
Just to find
That there was one thought in particular
That used to make me smile
But now it tears me apart
And there is an anxiety building inside me
That I cannot fight
Now as i sit there
Conjuring up a fantasy in my mind
I forget,
That very thought had once again
Made me smile
