To The Lost: The Prize And The Cost






1.Which cause is more than that of peace?
What mighty triumph trumps equilibrium?
To feign it's worth for fighting to cease.

For gold as a tainted love, delivered Abrin.
Noxious clouds fowl in stench released.
From Nature's beauty born, twisted to win.


2.A nobler path to follow in hapless vein.
How much cost a life to live in peace?
Abridged between hopeless and gain.

Remorseless still and sleepless night.
Tearful acid rains on life's every brow;
And even Granite relinquishes it right. 


3.Tis choice alone should decide the sun.
A quart for a quart, an Illusion or taught?
How much cost a life to rest in the run?

A daydream worth owning on dark nights.
A struggle worth more than struggling for. 
Directing in the winds of time's starry lights.


4.A World's weight in gold, to a chrysophilist.
A Fruit-filled plate - full - to a starving child.
How much cost a life to live in peace?



To wit, whichever ransom stole us, our keepers.
Remember well this, our collective lease:
Tis all our brows, laughers and weepers.


5.What other prize can forfeit frightened eyes?
To heal a wound, repair the weary and the blind?
How much cost a life to be rid of these lies?

And just how much cost a life to live in peace?

Tim

Tim, Tim nice but dim
Waves and smiles 
And says hello
All said and done
He's Just an average Joe.
Oh Tim, oh Tim don't take me on
You'd be lying broken
If you came from where I come from.
Oh Tim did I detect a hint of
Elitist blurb that made you feel good?
Your probably just misunderstood
Mommy held you too tight
Cotton in your ears
Three big jeers!
For Joe and his fears.

Revenge Is A Dish That Repeats.

All he wanted was freedom,
But when he held it;
All he wanted was justice,
But when he held it;
All he wanted was revenge,
But when he held it;
He knew! Twas true!
He'd sacrificed the previous two.

Toil And Trouble




Have you worn the quick to score the stick;
Broke head and tail, back all torn, for the grail;
Weathered, beaten; burning Ouroboros' wick?

Toil marked in sweat, no longer able to Tally.
Decan after Decan, imprisoned stars stick, tick;
The rowers and Thelemites locked in the galley.

Certain gallows circle as the dog-shark fades.
In nighttime fever raids every peak and valley.
Sun will rise, the frenzy shan't relent for shade.

Caballus, my trusted steed broken in a cavalcade.
When nears end she bought;  A cock was sort;
And to the cock: Another terrible lesson taught!

Love nor money could nor would hold her reigns!
She trotted and she galloped to make her trade.
Light and dark are in equidistant binding chains.

Have you worn your back and shoulders thin?
Worked like a dying dog earning your parade?
Point your chin high; who cares if you don't fit in?

What's more my Caba-friend: Living to work; Dying- 
To live, Living to die, Waiting to live, Working to live, 
Waiting to die, or living and loving to live, regardless?

From Them, To Them.

Now I'm gone don't miss me
I heard an angel cry out
I'm still here listening
No need to raise and shout
Why can't you hear me?
This angel in despair


Basking in your shadow
Following you everywhere
I'm sitting right beside you
I wish that you could see
I think you'd have to agree
With this angel crying out


I'm waiting for you patiently
As now your time is not
I want you to enjoy life
Because it's over in a jot.
Be reassured it's all absurd
So have fun with the plot.


I swear I heard an angel cry
I swear I saw their tears
I swore I'd pass this message
To alleviate your fears:
Every single one of them
Is nearer than you think.


So hold your glasses high
To them let's have a drink!
