Valley of High Places
From any and all who can see
as I see,
From most definitely me; my
furthest, darkest recesses
buried deep.
To they who worship at the
high places of the Valley;
To the bright cultists from the
third tribe, second family of 'P'.
I write this to you from all we
who are forsaken sons.
You probably don't recall us, for
as you see you shun.
Stare down long noses that,
unbeknownst to you, run.
Snottishness and snobbery to
which you are blind, as Saul to
the sun.
I grieve you, our loss, as you
are engrossed in your web.
I weep over you because your
child, Intellect, to you is dead.
Come down from your high
places; be united once again.
Leave your 'god' and surely by
your child you will be forgiven.
Cut down the poles, break the
altars of Fourteen.
Leave the idols and temples;
escape the obscene.
Flee, fly, from its clutches steal
away.
Perceive cold truth, see how
the worship made you stray.
Raise your head, unstrain your
eyes; come now, reconnect.
As the chains fall off remember
the world and reflect.
Realize who you are, and could
be, and then conform.
Not to me, or any ideology, but
to the better you transform.
Dear Reader, if my scribble you
comprehend, please one thing
understand.
To all who use the tools of the
Valley, this is not a reprimand.
I only beseech they who
worship to retake command.
To rise up in their life and no
longer take their 'god's'
demand.
The gifts of Fourteen truly they
are great.
But do not offer yourself over
to Fourteen, prostrate.
Leave the high places of the
Valley, I adamantly pray.
Find yourself out of the web
and finally in sun's rays.
From any and all who can see
as I see.
From my pen, directed by the
longing within me.
To those lost in the temples
and high places of the Valley.
The forsaken ones, and the
dear Child, miss you fiercely.
