Seance

This vessel carries with it the weight of suffering,
the wrath,
the worm,
the woe,
it must remember to levitate its way out of the sea.

People call out to God, as if nature is tender,
people fall on their knees for God, as if nature is kind,
people serve each other in God’s name, as if nature is pleased.
but God instead, asks them to fear nature.

Primitive in its truest sense, the vessel has no use for the mind,
the mind writes stories of love and peace, the vessel embodies war and destruction,
like a boar in the wilderness cannot be mistaken for a pig in a barn,
the vessel can never be the greatest tool of the mind.

This mind carries with it, the burden of perception,
monkeys with a vision, cross eyed dreams come to them,
swallowing shards of glass, just a few voices without a cause.
Claiming prophecies and neo religions, only to bathe in polluted waters.

Loneliness and lust, lost in translation
endless reincarnation,
there’s no winning unless you learn how to float in the flood.
