Restless

Untimely i joined With a skull of ogor tied round my waist I fooled myself round the furnace Eyes wide closed with red scarlet yard A purple sash at the center of head Red candles Guns and guts adjacent A big bowl of blood beckons As gluttons, we gulped it down Lacerations on my skin I screamed as a whore A journey to become a man The be fear and fierce As the drum pulsate The dance began We danced as though The spirit fell on us as a dove Perhaps it was another baptism Baptism into occult The moon stood straight As my vigour vexed Crickets mellowing Owls descending Bats battling Heads swollen with clubs Our hearts were seal with cruelty In the zeal of that cruelty We moved into Citadels We create chaos We create death If you think we are devils, You are wrong But we abode in hell At dawn We unleashed and lynched innocent lives In our quest to be admire and be fame Today, before the crucifix i stood Only that my soul may find rest I have wrestled with fear and guilt Only to be pull into the doldrums of defeat. In deed, my soul is restless until i find Jesus.
