Holocaustum I a Horror

OF THE NEW FLESH

A returned to open channels 
Open to the unknown the beyond 
Burning humming like angry hornets
Bottled in electric light and shadows 
The whispers come through the void
Humming in the open channel 
Of an ancient television set 
Like a cryptic monolith, alive

The noise to signals, burning voices 
Scream and chant arcane rights 
That pushes n pulls the soul of things 
Never dreamt of before, unseen 

There in the dark the halogen arc light, bright 
Blares its pure hot hollow holy light 
Laying before me was a stark image of chrome
Of gears springs and electric circuitry.

Gracing suicidal insight
wickedly sharp blade
Mad for flesh and bone, 
blood baptize in its righteous 
fury for the masses to cut the cancer, away

Of the new flesh
this covenant of mechanical arts
And malice
A calculus of angels and insane
The insane idle smiles hide the dark shame
covered in a thin facade of normalcy 

They hide lies that drip from those smiles
The hate so deep it blinds the eyes of tranquility 
The secret lives of the damned 
Burn, blares the new blade of silver
Bone n gears; the product of death

As the mechanical heart reimagined 
ruminates and redefines 
In heaven hollow facade 
Silence of the holy realm 
The static of Valhallas Halls
Sits a cathode ray tube 
Full of angry hornets, fiery angels…

Humming into the sacred night
a blade flickers in delicate light 
Dancing into shadows 
from burning sacraments 
A holocaustic humanity 
Mad for flesh and bone
Baptize in blood 

Born of righteous fury for the masses
To cut away the cancer 
voices whisper 
scream
call and demand:

“Long live the new flesh!”
