Stone of Nihilism
Stone of Nihilism 

Stained glass lies
Colored shards of broken truth
Puzzle pieces arranged in
Sanctimonious expression 
Designed to camouflage  falsehoods 
The perjury of Priests  
Disguised...

It tumbled down my throat, dispersed throughout

Newborn idle entropy at sunfall
Senses...

Only this moment can be the most hated
No more time for r&r....that's reefer and rum

I Sing To Eternity
To an unmet friend:


You see the mortal world
and for you man is machine,
little more than a device
for the vagaries of evolution.

Whose presence is there to...
