Mushroom God

Millions are bowing to a mushroom God
who guides them down paths of pyrite and blackness
Minds falsely expanding into an unexplainable universe
with things mechanically terrifying and satiny glorious.
Sprouting waxy wings, soaring into new unrealities
searching-always searching for that elusive something.
With the infinite textures of war and flavors of human suffering...
who can blame them for at least trying.

I fear for my friend and his diamond mind 
he's cracked the shadow of this mushroom God
I fear that after his great mind expansion
there will come a greater mind contraction.
His softening mind slipping into a jagged rabbit hole.

Meanwhile a million holy books are garnished with
coffee ring halos and the stench of miracles ignored.

Wow,I get this.))))) I crown it with a FAV, awesome, Anthony Pangie xx Quite unusual and a good exposition of creativity. Instead of throwing a few main English lines on paper or on the site. I see that you care about poetry, not about being popular. You are a true poet
