Is he riding alongside the devil?
having tea with genocide?
Sleeping with guns?
Will thy kingdom come?
I don’t care...
So as long as I can wash the blood off before it comes

The sustainer....
Is also....
The divider...

Doing good
only to be shoved down to the ground
killing my neighbor
an invitation to have tea once again...
Is what I receive
so it goes
in this world
overseen by one who sleeps with the one who makes us cry

    They say that saint lucifer was the only angel made in the image of god
    that he was the closest to humanity that an angel would ever get
    that he walked in the darkness at the edge of the city forever
    and questioned
    to feel alive
    the seraphim were robbed of all spontaneity
    until the day they queried the lord: why he appeared to love his newest creations
    far more than he appeared to love his first and most perfect

    the unfortunate thing is that there is nothing to debate in the idea that god
    created lucifer for the purpose that lucifer fulfilled...
    And if that is the case
    then there isn't a hell for those who question, merely another home for those without answers

    if we've been locked out of heaven because of an apple
    and yet by the grace of creation can continue to question
    this must, at the very least, be purgatory and we're all in line
    biding time

    there is no hell without hope

    there are secrets to be unlocked within us all
    genetic
    cyclic
    millenia on a spiritual twirl
    of you don't believe in reincarnation
    stop eating fruit and watch the green that grows in the wake of it's disintegration
    the rinds you left behind
    you wasteful soul
    how dare you attempt to wound me
    i was given my ability to question
    THE ability to forage and scavenge and infer
    The singular humana persona
    If it is wrong...
    It feels too right to be wrong

    questioning and seeking are the very basis of the myth of free will
    I'll find my own way on any given sunday and, fuck the tie, I'll be dressed in t-shirt, jeans and hiking boots. My imagination will be my greatest weapon in the war to come and I find that I'll be far more prepared when the sky does in fact fall
    than you'll ever be. I've been walking in the rain for a long time. To feel alive. It's fortunate that my fingertips have not gone numb.

    The touch of god on a rainy day. As vague as the mist rising from heated streets.
    I'm stepping in front of the gushing hydrant in a hurricane. I'd like to see the traction I keep.
