Dark De Ching part II
By Bill_Hicks
31. KRUNK CROW KRAWKRAW
Those who feast upon bodies are called worms
At night they celebrate in the dirt
In the morning they are eaten by birds
The feast for Crows is called murder by mortals
To fly by onyx wings is at once betrayal and creation.
Heard by the farmer a large unkindness
His crops will assuredly sow
Scythes in October like plectrans plucking a bard's ballad
Sung in harmony once, then erased by winter

This line you cannot see. Evermore will it remain Dark.
Anonymity is the rite of Kings in this Orwellian nightmare network
Millions march to the slaughterhouse drum for the freedom to be unseen.
To accept death is to accept the destruction of one's ego
Sinking into infinity like a limb in the bog
Feeding the muck mother's fertile wasteland
Lovecraftian fear sprang from springs and seas alike
Little creepy crawling critters
Full of poison and biting venom
Flowing through the waters of life in carnivorous revelry
Yet the Dark Poet, champion of invisibility
Sinks into swimming teeth
Becoming once and again the aquatic ambiance
33. HORIZON
Light creates Darkness
Darkness sneaks under Light
In lifting, lofty, loafing shadows
Demonic snake minions made of nothing yet having a shape
Digested nothing but fears in it's empty stomach
To cast a shadow bends light
To become a shadow masters Dark
34. CLOWN MASKS
Blessed be the Dark Poet!
All share laughter and joy over your mournful fumblings!
Emotional extremes from every end
Experience themselves in twisted facial contortions
Beconing to voices of low and high powers
The fool makes parchment spun for quilted ink
Spoken through God, the Dark Poet is Ether.
Spoken through Satan, the Dark Poet is Ego.
One remains everlasting
The other fades away
In the end, only a newborn creation will remain to inherit the Earth.
This will be the untouched innocence.
35. RESTING IN PEACE
The Dark Poet finds no grief in death
Love, laughter and joy resounds through the graveyard
He who comes to the tomb bringing flowers and candles
Will inherit respect and solidarity from the ancestral spirits
Yet the Dark Poets
When they bring drinks and burning bushes
In rebellious Bacchanalian celebration
Shall be called ugly and sick by the solemn monks
But the singing voices of the grateful dead will disagree
"Whoa, oh! What I want to know:
Where does the time go?"
36. DESTROYING THE LIGHT
Inspiration is a Light that can only be found in Dark silence
Extinguishing a flame causes a bright flash
Ovethrowing tyrants creates 10 years of Darkness
Thunder which is unseen comes after the Lightning
These are the parodoxes of Darkness overcoming Light
Like the glowing fish of the deep,
What shines brightest should not be seen.
37. SHADOW GOVERNMENTS
Dark is ever present, so it never really exists.
This is the way our government works
Always there but never around
If you feel like you can do a better job
Go ahead and watch yourself die
The lust for power lurks deep within all souls
Slaves and kings alike must be allowed a taste
38. DEVIL ON THE SHOULDER
Darkness did not seek to create life,
Thus life was born.
Light gave vision to living things,
Thus death was known.
The secret to Dark's eternity is it's effortless flow.
The downfall of Light's purpose on Earth is it's limited radiance.
In the beginning, there was Darkness.
Then, as the clouds parted, pillars of Light basked the barren surface.
Faun and flora blossomed under it's divine influence.
Man left the garden and forever lived in caves of all kinds.
Dark spaces gave man gifts at the price of his soul.
Livestock and crops grown indoors,
Clouds of smog blotting out the Sun soon appeared,
until the was nothing but Darkness.
Muddy rivers are certainly not the place for kings,
Yet the royal lotus proudly stands by the toads and lichens.
To pick this flower for one's own,
You must bend over and get dirty.
The Dark Poet leaves the lotus to grow,
Sniffing the mud instead like a ravenous platypus.
39. CORVUS OPERANDI
The oldest hunters known to man
Were the Heaven riding Raptors and scavenger birds.
Claiming the Earth from their cloud hidden sunlight realm,
Sweeping a path of destruction through forested valleys,
Hierarchies of Darwinism created by a single swipe,
Achieving a balanced and healthy ecosystem.
Without stability, this system would collapse,
Returning to Darkness as was once before.
Becoming pregnant with life once again,
Skybound warlords return from Phoenician ashes.
Our only human defence from the ground
Was to amass an armada of metal Dragons;
Roaring fire in rapid screams of ear popping sonicbooms.
Spitting venomous fumes,
Firing arrows from a painted mouth,
Brandishing bright scales that broke any blade,
Stealing treasures then hoarded in a mountain.
In all of it's horrible tyranny and bllodlust,
This beast was but trash once taken apart.
Each of it's pieces separated into entropy
Finally brings to Darkness the Grim Reaper's falcon.
None escape the eventual return to Darkness.
Even those who bow down to the claws of the Darker.
40. ABYSSMAL STARING
To stare into the distance
Results in nothing to look at.
To close your eyes and focus
Makes visions of this thing and that.
Thus the Dark Poet looks into the abyss,
Staring back at the shadowy "Self" that is mist .
41. LAMENESS AND INDIFFERENCE
The experienced Poet, upon facing Darkness, reduces it down to the size
of a quill's tip.
The moderate Poet, upon facing Darkness, forgets sometimes to write it
down,
The Light Poet, upon facing Darkness, shuns away the creative shadows.
Only then can the shadow be cast upon the wall.
Therefore the Dark Poet says:
"Those deep in Dark come quick to wit,
Retreat to woods and seem to quit,
Trodden paths for men unfit.
The heaven's veil with stiched stars,
Crossed with chemtrails like jail bars,
Turn hallow Earth to holy Mars.
To find refuge in Dark abodes,
Riding midnight country roads,
Convincing change in elder's modes.
Treasure bearing vessels deep,
Cthulu waiting in his sleep,
To the grave this secret keep."
The Dark Poet can only speak of such things.
The Darkness must be experienced firsthand.
42. TURNING TO DUSK
First there was Dark
Second there was Light
Third there was the Dark Poet
All in one breath,
Darkness and Light,
become one
All men fear the Dark
Yet Kings and Warlords
Have used the fear of Darkness
To secure their kingdoms.
Wrong in the name of good
Declaring right as the name of wrong
These deceitful leaders
Lead us all to victorious circumstances
The Dark Poet knows this eternal secret.
Dark servants are englulfed by their own shadows
cast by Dark Poets
