Hell In the Stars

Hell in The Stars



Befool yourself into believing
In words
And fool yourself into thinking
You’ve heard “the” word

All of our knowledge
Is designed by human hands
Look a little deeper
Look out towards the stars
We are planet bound
The same as a plant inside its pot
Still we know the galaxies are there
Just like a pot plant comprehends
Its nature is to live
In a field

It is the demonstration of arrogance to believe
That we have the answers to everything
The greatest mystery
Is how all this came to be
Yet you define it with your books
You even think that in your words
You can capture what it is
That breathes
Eternally

What are the stars to you except imagery
What are they to you but romance
What are they to you
Other than a figment of your imagination
What do they represent
Nothing more 
Than your 
Denial
   
What do we wake up to be
This planet and our own mediocrity
Or do we wake up
To feel all the suns which we call stars
And the entire expanse of creation
Witnessed
In our eyes

Do we understand that Hell
Is as much an aspect 
Of heaven
As is everything else
A planetary definition made by limits
Does not define
Reality


  And I know; being challenged
  you will turn to your books of faith.
  I know you will turn to each other, for support.
  You will look towards the comfort of an easy excuse.
  A human explanation of what humanity can’t explain, 
  you will turn away from 
  the evident proof of your eyes, yet again.
  You will choose to deny the stars and every portent they contain 
   and instead; look towards a heaven
  which simpleton faithlings say belief cannot resist.
  While creation happens all around you
  you will choose
   not to exist

 Give it another Prophet and another thousand years
 For your stupidity
 To stop up your eyes and your ears

The Stars

there were stars out 
the last night i saw you
its hard to belive that there
will be stars out again without you
the dirt underneith me doesnt
fell stable anymore
my heart is so heavy and hard to carry
i must see you again because
my saddness cannot last
forever
