Stories of Imperceptible Light

Humility is lacking, hate ran unopposed. Mask hiding your second face, higher office, resign disgraced. Two sides of the same coin. Tales they win, heads you lose. How far we have fallen. Indivisible by zero Screams from the Echo chamber. Screams from the Echo chamber. Apropos of setting Losing noise to words. Episode of anger Floods of despair. A clever way to say, Nothing matters and no one cares. Two sides of the same coin. Tales they win, heads you lose. How far we have fallen. Hell produced this hero Screams from the Echo chamber. Wanting your voice heard. Screams from the Echo chamber. Ego demands the last word. Experiment ends path extreme, Origin of us Bizarre behavior, lucid dreams. Two sides of the same coin. Tales they win, heads you lose. How far we have fallen. Indivisible by zero How far we have fallen. Hell produced this hero Screams from the Echo chamber. Wanting your voice heard. Screams from the Echo chamber. Ego demands the last word.

Sensible thought, nurtured to form, Race through my life, panic now the norm. Hell bent, the voice of dissent. Light caressing screams. Time is spent, late to repent, Struggle replaced my dreams. Decades of blood spilled. Growing fire from a spark Value spent in self-defense. Identity carved into my heart Hell bent, the voice of dissent. Light caressing screams. Time is spent, late to repent, Struggle replaced my dreams. Senile civility lacking all humility. Strength to refuse. Deny abuse, Shackles ripped aside, Unburdened pride. Weaker species take up root. Leeches drink, blood dilutes. Hooks in my back Virtue in every way you lack. Publish or perish, Has always been my way Imprint on society With a righteous hand Leviathan Hell bent, the voice of dissent. Light caressing screams. Time is spent, late to repent, Struggle replaced my dreams. Senile civility lacking all humility. Strength to refuse. Deny abuse, Shackles ripped aside, Unburdened pride.

The downtrodden upswing Return to claim a rightful prize. Out of line behavior for a slave. Distressed, too young to be Planning for the grave. Vanishing Point, Eyes fixed on the horizon. Pain fades away Vanishing Point, Sights set on target Can’t blink or I’ll lose my way. Defiance, perdition, act of attrition Beyond breaking rank or brand Quality of life, greasing of hands. See to evil over good, Reason left misunderstood. Flow of consciousness, Freeform climb, ever shifting paradigms. Vanishing Point, Eyes fixed on the horizon. Pain fades away Vanishing Point, Sights set on target Can’t blink or I’ll lose my way. So many times, we suffer. So many times, they lie. Hope is the brightest star. Visible to the naked eye Minuscule change in sequence, Foolishly throw a towel. Value of life diluted, Cheat and then cry foul. Vanishing Point, Eyes fixed on the horizon. Pain fades away Vanishing Point, Sights set on target Can’t blink or I’ll lose my way.

Decomposition of life breaks down at an elemental level. Matter decays changing form. Slips through the cracks. Becomes invisible. To reality show watchers and co-workers. If you persist to pursue what is not yours, the nightmare of loss will come true. Ripping through. Life as you know it, will not sustain, or persevere. Loyalty cracks as infidelity becomes clear. Left behind tears. Sacrifice all you have, to taste the gifts of spring. Entitlement and pursuit. Covet thy neighbor’s wife, forbidden fruit. Look but don’t touch. Cold showers do the trick. People say it staves off temptation. If you persist to pursue what is not yours, the nightmare of loss will come true. Ripping through. Life as you know it, will not sustain, or persevere. Loyalty cracks as infidelity becomes clear. Left behind tears. You must realize that these thoughts seem innocent and harmless. Can grow out of control if left unguarded until faithfulness crumbles. Every world will explode. Actions beyond consequence. A voice, floats above the white noise, in the cubical maze. Bouncing off bodies occupying space. Viable planets that can’t support life. If you persist to pursue what is not yours, the nightmare of loss will come true. Ripping through. Life as you know it, will not sustain, or persevere. Loyalty cracks as infidelity becomes clear.

Obsession not fully defined, Locked to a click. Window to a soul kept alive, Grateful, perpetually sick. Bodies in motion, never at rest At war with myself At war with myself If not me who else? Would fight my fight. Blood will refuse. Energy in motion Upend the end This Life to Lose. Weakness draws favor. Push capture out of sync. Close your eyes from the last time. Release pain, flash bang blink. Serve your own kind or be left behind. Tears of laughter, no less for joy. Never a drop of pain felt in vain. This shell of a body, now free to destroy. No plan for the afterlife. If I did, what would it be? Delusion of plenty, flowing white robes, Clouds marked as home for eternity. On the other side of the fence, Hurt is waiting, don’t leave us in suspense. Truth is what hits you when you stand on the wrong side of a lie. A narrative spun up in ether, perpetually liked or shared. No boring parables spared. Gaslight, stage fright. Claim to say, not begin right. Who cares?

Potential energy built to explode. Contract missed in breach. Quickly reload. Target acquired. Outcome desired. Unrelenting flood, program rewired. Love thy neighbor, cheat a friend. God will forgive if everyone can pretend. Hate without merit. Tell a lie, lot outrage share it. Absurdly we gather in the city square. Civil unrest, bicker about despair, Insane divided. Empathy is gone. Bottle rage, trapped in a shrinking cage. Chorus: Promised to change, shot out of range. Boastful claims seem deranged. Done with thought, only now we feel. Respect of disrespect, truth revealed. Nightmares lined up, one by one. Bent human timeline collapse has begun. Rusted skin burns like bleeding metal. Disputes and blame will never be settled. In our lifetime. Never good at fiction, penchant for the brave Stand up for the underdog. Walk them to the grave. Morality over greed. Decency can’t be feed. Ill-gotten dollars lobby, Laws written to suit their needs. Chorus My footprint was once A measure of evolution. New problems bring Forth tired old solutions. Not until recently, Lack of human decency. Delivers our date of demise. Downfall will rise. Swirling, twirling the flag unfurling. Hurling lost generations Into the great abyss. Unable to fathom this. Utter failure, ashamed to offend, Roles reversed still can’t defend. Experiments gone awry. Never question why? We didn’t even try. Can’t be fooled but shouldn’t be surprised. Low and behold. The end comes right before our eyes. Airborne Plague, herd immunity. Outcome dismal. Failing mental state Fault the obstinate, tables overturned. Other than failure what have we learned. Love thy neighbor, cheat a friend. God would forgive if everyone can pretend. Hate without merit. Tell a lie and let outrage share it. Promised to change, show out of range. Boastful claims seem deranged. Done with thought, now we feel. Respect or disrespect truth revealed. Dignity stripped away, civil decay. Trust is lost, change minds at all costs. Misinformation, force fed lies. Click bait spread to those you despise. Chorus

Escape the earthly realm at breakaway speed. Damn the crippling trick that gravity has played on me. Bounce upward, the sky was never as gray. Folding water into vapor, floating letters that say. What goes up will fall down, just not in the same place. Chorus: Time has come to decide. Retain what’s left of pride. Empty handed I walk away. Leaving beauty to the blind If only life were more kind. What could have been? In between the swells and fades. A lost fool found his way. I am confined to live in this moment. Imbibe chemicals to punctuate the dreariness. Inhale my malady to escape from pain. Demons that haunt me, drive me, destroy me. Chorus I leave you everything I worked my life to save. Benign musings only slightly deranged. Cast light upon doubt, magnify purity. Chorus A noble move to protect a future, I never thought I would have. How is this not a win. Fatally applied. Fear of sin. Please don’t cry. Celebrate all the things I tried. Even my failures. But in the end, this is the best outcome a loser could have hoped for.
