Peccatum Originale

a beginning of sorts

ideological blood is the rain of the stupid

the surface orientated, the populist biased

the idiot television masses

　

i believe that temperance is sunlight from the gods

　

the essence of daylight

what we call, illumination

without a common language

　

an ability to see

our peccatum originale

our common Anti-Christ

with reason

with realization

and a rationality

not to lie

manipulate

   or falsify reason

we no longer devour flesh whole

or compete with the great animals

we are homo erectus

the great walking ape

now

ain't nothin' gonna faze us

we are vicious

all time apex predators

and at heart, brutal killers

(welcome, nature)

we can only eat ourselves

(ugh, more nature)

so,

i don't believe in god

but in original sin

i do believe indeed

that need to devour

bit by bit

flesh to pieces

everything within her reaches

even so...

even still,

maybe just abstractly

now

in all her poisoned beginning's

i do believe

it's not all so bad

and it will one day save us

maybe it can be hell

in the mean times

if you come too close

  if you do indeed come too close

(control your animal)

never become your own monster

until it's time

until it's necessary

until you're about to die

(this is not the time)

though in the mean time...

don't s**t on my f*****g lawn

and i guess everything'll be gravy

'tween you and I

f**k face...

as these days, life is pretty easy

(fug you)

for now

(i'll be seeing you)

later

well...rest assured i will not be shitting on your lawn nor eating the flesh of your neighbors ;) your poem covers a lot of ground ..many opening for philosophical discourse and disagreements ... i like the form and flow ..i like the saucy insulting ..but don't make me your b***h ;) and i love both the artists you chose for the video ..had to listen to the whole thing ..and read your poem once more out loud ..to myself .. especially am drawn to this line: "i believe that temperance is sunlight from the gods" and i think the humanity of this is marvelous and well said:
"with reason
with realization
and a rationality
not to lie" i think that is so imperative to life
E.
ps i bet you do believe in God ..yep ..pretty sure you do

[Davidgeo]

Thanks. And no, I do not believe in god as you know it. It's insulting to me that you'd even mention that.

[Einstein Noodle]

oh...sorry man .. i should have known better .. will remember now :( i meant no disrespect ..

[Davidgeo]

I wasn't that insulted... the tone always gets lost when communicating purely through text, I keep forgetting that. Have you seen how I act around here? I would be the world's biggest hypocrite if I demanded purely respectful responses.

Haha I like "Fug you." I think you'd enjoy Ginsberg's work quite a bit.

[Davidgeo]

I already do enjoy Ginsberg. I enjoy almost all of the beatniks. Bukowski's my favorite among them, Kerouac is second. I listen Ginsberg read his own work he sometimes annoys me with his voice and delivery.
