Nathanyal Rivers Poem
This path beneath me reverberates its inevitable decay.
As the seminal seasons die I ask how my eyes became so numb?
Are these recurring dreams not my own?
I shouted the nights into coming storms.
Surely no man can lead me to my own salvation.
This much I know so bound to the dirt I carve my desire.
Craving my own existence I close me eyes and breath.
Even If I die of age or ail I'll smile still.
A life lived is a lesson learned.
The blooming forest will always be reborn and then die again.
The process repeats itself for what reason?
Am I to transcend this meaningless perception?
If I am fated the circle then my answer is simply no.
Only until my last drawn breath can I rest in time.
Through involuntary action it animates from within.
Returning to the womb the soul again becomes restless.
If I am fated to the perceived circle then my answer is simply no.

Nathanyal Rivers Poem
So clearly do I now see how dirty we have become.
To impregnate an ideal so sinister.
Hypocrites raped the innocent.
Reaching out to extending arms all was lost to reality.
Returning to the cog in the wheel, the cycle repeats itself.
Holding on to self-inflicted wounds.
We lick the burns as the parasite hungers.
Mindlessly festering against the chain and stake.
Eagerly awaiting the hand that guides the way.
One by one they fill the streets.
In that moment it was bred in domestication.
A filth so vile the senses screamed to erase.
Burning the flesh to rid the disease.
Scars left in anguish to the faults of our own.
