seeing love
I climb all day some stairs in my head
I have to go fight the devils off
I don’t like to face the truth
I turn my back instead
You look out over all creations
You hold no truck with preachers
You honor the old promises
You recognize no nations
this is where I dwell in madness and sorrow
this fear operating from my shoulder
this cursed world without is now within me
this damn mythical tomorrow
Your words of recognition calm me
Your rules of iron, your heart of wax
Your sad brown eternal bottomless eyes
Your vina, bell, and mrdanga call me
here in these haunted brackish waters
here upon these raw boned blooded knees
here where my appeals have been denied for so many ages
here I turn on the wheel of insane religious potters
seeing love, the world turns away in shame
seeing love we sin the harder
seeing love the armies come to kill it
seeing love the world remains the same
