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
