Sean Nielsen Poem
Fleeting notions of grandeur
flaring up intermittently
facilitating imaginative construction
feeding building blocks into cognitive designs
Previously dormant ideation
Arbitrarily forcing its way into consciousness
Reinvigorating long lost neural pathways
Resulting in a ripple effect that
creates and reconfigures chemical connections
The dawn of an ideology
Spawned from the reanimation
of historically prevailing perspectives
Re-branded substantively to fit context
The dismal derivative
of foregone philosophy
theatrically posing as genuine
but with a poorly drawn mask to cover its expression

Sean Nielsen Poem
Gorging upon self-indulgence
while your soul lies starving in the corner
Dissociatively liberated from consequence
as the host endures accountability
Psychotically clinging to a desirable fiction
(an accessible and depraved fantasy)
and basking in its soothing narratives
whenever the tangible becomes inconvenient
Dipping sporadically into a permeable
realm of artificial favorability
Detaching yourself from that which exists
to experience that which is merely theoretical

Sean Nielsen Poem
The perverse acceptance of dehumanization
coincides with the illusion of vulnerability
Degradation underlies the prolonged process
systematically re-wiring a once skeptical public
Manufacturing receptiveness to a diminished existence
is the prevailing goal
The need for coercion dissipates as resistance vanishes
Turning imprisonment into an implied circumstance

Sean Nielsen Poem
Timid upon standing
Flailing at equilibrium
with outstretched fingertips
Desperate to grasp that which is unattainable
for now and conceivably forever
Anguish consumes the frontal cortex
as the lower brain pulls the strings emphatically
Enlightenment is thwarted by an insatiable thirst
for pleasure and unapologetic indulgence
Sedated and aloof
Injected with a serum that nullifies
cerebral interjection
The mind becomes a host
for any poisonous intrusion
Undefended and vulnerable
Trembling in a remote corner
before ultimately succumbing
to a sobering silence

Sean Nielsen Poem
The dopamine seductress
Invigorating your animal instinct
Revitalizing your susceptibility to pleasure
and inclination towards familiarity
It is the most diabolical influence
Acting with no regard for psychological longevity
Torturing the pathways into surrendering
to an influx of degenerative saturation
Fulfillment falters
and self actualization settles prematurely
As the mind disintegrates
before it reaches the point of becoming whole

Sean Nielsen Poem
Contemporary hunters wielding 21st century weapons of influence
Firing indiscreetly upon blindfolded hostages that double as their clients
Mutilating their customer case before gutting them with ease
once they're expendable
Feasting upon the impoverished entrails
until there is not a shred of identifiable human flesh
Disturbingly convenient as it is prevalent
Once the remains cannot be recognized as human,
there is no chance, not even a miniscule possibily, of retribution
There is no face and no conscious voice
to demand justice for countless grievances
The corpses sink into the Earth where they
are subjected to further degradation
Posthumously polluted with the toxicity emanating from murderous mouths

Sean Nielsen Poem
Satan licked his chops in perverse anticipation
His excitement reached an unprecedented level
culminating in a deranged euphoria
that invigorated the evil energies within
He smiled in an unnervingly sinister manner
as he stepped forward into the darkness
He had been waiting for this opportunity
since, essentially, the beginning of time
As Satan moved forward,
he saw a figure huddling and shivering
in the furthest corner of the room, apparently frightened
It was God.
As he advanced upon the figure,
Satan felt immensely empowered
As he gravitated toward his nemesis,
The Devil could sense the fear that now saturated the atmosphere
As each second passed, the figure on the ground
appeared to grow weaker----
as if every step that Satan took was another wound
inflicted upon God's frail body
After yet another step forward,
Satan withdrew his whip
and began to viciously attack God
kicking him in the face and throat
and every time the Lord screamed in agony from the lashings
After what seemed like an eternity, Satan put down his whip
and began to admire what he considered his greatest achievement
But before he could fully appreciate what he had done,
he suddenly experienced a terrifyingly foreign emotion,
setting off a physiological reaction that consumed his entire being...
for the first time in existence, Satan was remorseful
He quickly bent down to tend to God's wounds
which had become quite extensive in nature
The Lord's face, for example,
was bloodied beyond recognition
But before Satan could reach the Lord,
God astonishingly sprung to his feet and
stabbed the Devil through the heart
As the dagger pierced Satan's heart,
God looked into the Devil's eyes
and saw that Satan had felt remorse for his viciousness
before being abruptly murdered
If God had faith in his own ability
to convert sinners into agents of virtue
(even Satan, the embodiment of pure evil)
then he would not have stabbed the Devil
and consequently, Satan's transformation of conscience would have been complete
due to his sudden remorse and implicit compassion
Such an event would've, inevitably, eliminated the concept of evil
from the collective consciousness of humanity
Realizing his grave and untimely error,
God turned the knife on himself
with one swift stroke across the neck
As he fell to the ground,
the world collapsed into a state of mass ambiguity
where good and evil were intertwined, convoluted and unclear
It has remained the same ever since..

Sean Nielsen Poem
Increasingly isolated amid dreadful psychological scenery
Socially discarded and culturally abused
Exasperated loneliness coupled with vengeful anger
against those deemed the unapologetic perpetrators
Lacerations upon the mind
beginning to become infected
Irreparably scarring perspective
as well as poisoning the stream of consciousness
Stagnant and listless
despite writhing in existential pain
May as well be catatonic
when inaction becomes the only response
Healing requires painful recognition
Not the acknowledgment that society is the aggressor
But the assessment that I am my greatest detriment
And that I projected my depravity onto others who were innocent of such egregious allegations

Sean Nielsen Poem
The imagination was giddy with fervent anticipation
A beautifully comforting breeze
soothed the mind from every conceivable direction
while also invigorating the playfulness associated with imminent invention
Another day provides additional time
for the creation and nourishment of an idea
Another opportunity to relentlessly explore
previously unvisited dimensions of consciousness
And not only to explore them
with an approach solely confined to basic curiosity
But also to understand, experience and ultimately
integrate the information into a system
in dire need of transformation
There is, within the collective imagination,
the capacity to forever alter the world
in ways that enhance the human condition
The existence of a social paradigm
that empowers the impoverished is NOT a fiction
It always has been and always will be
a possible manifestation of the collective consciousness---
so long as that consciousness develops the fortitude and dedication
to combat the systematic degradation of much of humanity

Sean Nielsen Poem
The statement that stands
upon an amputated narrative
A brand name theory
that sells more than generic truth
Written histories more legendary than the commonplace occurrences they are derived from
Epiphanies of egregious behavior
attributable to the highly revered
A parallel universe where scoundrels
are no longer hidden under layers of
conveniently contrived heroism and courage
Exposed and repulsive, covered in the blood
of centuries of redacted hypocrisy
