Towers Fall
do you like to worship yourself
better than worshiping anyone else?
do you look at any glass
except the ones that show yourself?
haven't you heard?
the towers have fallen!
haven't you heard
That towers can fall?
and then, just when
I thought I had seen it all...
i found myself sitting in a different
room
it looked like a palace
but it was a tomb
like a bleeding, barren womb
like a child born far too soon
and it was dark
and i was scared
and adults were gathered in a far-off room
and there were things in there with me
that the adults couldn't see
and they were dark and they were small
with the sharpest little teeth
I'VE LOST SOMETHING
something's been taken!
they tore something out of me
i knew the moment
i awoke
and saw the daylight flee
do you paint pictures of food
to donate to starving children?
do you max out your credit card
to profit off God's business?
the towers
shining like mirrors
we see our reflection
then all is just shattered
then all that once mattered
is a column of smoke in the wind
and angels descend
from mansions pretend
to caverns below
where old Titans stow
away
awaiting the day
that Chaos will arrive
their savior
and swallow Earth and its deepest recesses
and them along with it all
and Vishnu sleeps
on the endless serpent
