The Offering of Insects

Segment I.
Sunlight pours
Through the
Elusive curtains
I am found
In the lonesome drained river
Of Mars;
it used to be filled with blood and mercy
Sunlight pours into
A stuffy room
Of ethreal essence
Below the surface of cement
There is a cellar leading
To a hidden room
Far away from
Their advanced society
Sometimes we wish to reminisce
The spiritual nature of deities
I can only see the sentence through
For I've got centuries of eye-sores
In my mind
Jarring, emptying
Out my fears 'neath the ironic moon
I'm not going to miss it
I will not sorely miss it
Sure, there is not much truth in it
Oh, why to have lived so long
And not realize
That I was undermining
My own existence
Guess you, too, could live there
In that place
It's a house of many
Doorsteps and a
Welcome mat that says,
"Welcome Back, Ya Slick Rat!"
I don't want to discourage
You from turning yourself in
To the Authorities
You really belong somewhere
It's probably for the best
That you're locked up
I want you to think not
Of courageous limo rides
Or taxi fares in the
Morning rush to get to some
Important business meeting
I want you to think of
What you will be thinking
Not the 'now' you have
Created with your
Sugar substitutes and
Fat-free meals but with
A mind that thinks of the 'now'
That you have truly
Come to embody
You don't know
Who you really should be
Well, listen here
It's okay
We've all
Felt
That way
Do firemen spit fire?
No, they help to put fires out
Do unholy men seek the Cup of Life?
No, they seek the road of doubt.
Caught in a lumberjack tribe
Thumbs on guns let's shoot out
The hazy sky
Segment II.
Eat what is on your plate
Seconds together
Are a minute too late
Crickets, preying mantis,
Water bugs, ants
(If you eat nine fire ants
Instead of just ten,
You will grow eight fire ant
Totem poles on your chin)
In the night time world's
Cherubim girl
Do not deny that your mind resides
In the house of sin
You can't decide how to play hopscotch
W/the concept of zen
Art is defined as
Folly, want a Quaker?
What if one was to fall asleep
For one hundred years and awaken
To a state of epiphany?
