The Uglification

By Ortolan


emotions of weakness are a plague brought on
every form that opposes love
shame guilt remorse regret disgust
delusions of self induced sorrow

born to be human he brings on the bastard
folds out the narcissist, unpacks an army
shuffles a new deck of all purpose masks
and then plays god til he cuts himself

say this thing, say it with me
immerse me in what is unclean
until I am a human being

emotions of weakness, carry me...to treason against myself
and teach me to turn on my heart
be an unrecognizable cog in it's fictional will
found it out, something else

a person is unrecognized
names go to dust as well

the termination brought on by the motherforce
lost in every calculation is reality
your nation on a chip
past the monument of ruins of beleifs
burned into this  hollow wreckage
a broken body which carried a soul
collapsing it's world on it's dieing self

say you want to be born, again and again like before
what's there to not see: it can't see itself
emotions of weakness, a person of tales  
relinquished it's mind to a calcified shell

the broken bulb has a tale to tell
chew on the glass until it tastes good
fable promised a livelihood
beleiving by virtue of spoken blood

this life will not see me gain from it
nor be abandoned in simple death-wish
the space will run out and world ends in war
we run for false life urged to vandalize walls

make your marjk
cause we're all marked for deth
contribution to the uglification: yes

content with one simple breath

bring it on soon, bright, ferocious

let me go out screaming and burning

scratch metal claws across black outer space

let me leave the world for good
let me witness the end of the human race

    a mindful delve into creation and the tale-tell heart of ugly emanates yet unspoiled (as per-usual). I like it.
