Below the Hand Of Love

Only shallow hands and blood thin victories await us. A

terrifying realistic dirt-stabbing echo of what once was or could

have been. A relentless parade of memories, a never-ending

serenade to the ghost of our eternal loss. Who will remain then

to ask the questions, who will stand and tell the final story

invent the final outcome. We all await our own justifiable

photographic parade. Our lives transcribed in monochrome as

we hold each lost and precious moment, clasped tightly to our

chests re living our own lost cause.

Never understanding the restrictive uniformity and

conformist limitations of the simplest thought process. We

continue to believe ourselves and our monotone and onedimensional

egos. Believing that what we see what we feel and

experience may actually be real. This is the beginning of our

greatest and most glaring mistake. And one from which it

becomes almost impossible to escape. Only imitation and

hollow fakery can bring about a temporary rescue.

We must restrict our luxury of choice and become the

lone crusader against the futility of ritual. Forever living below

the hand of love on a never-ending collision course with

passive resistance. This only serves to permeate the soul with

the pointless utility of endless dialogue. Variation upon

variation diatribe and doctrine invented thought projections

and religious philosophy providing a searing heat of mass

hysteria. Helping to control the brain synapses and exploding

the engine of the helpless and individual voice.

A neo cryptic biological nightmare begins. A chemical

imbalance on the imprint of self. A never-ending cycle, the

ageless and timeless remnants of which continue to infect all

aspects of the multiple dimension. And while we wait each day

grows darker each light grows dimmer each and every one of

these isolated moments continue to expand beyond our

control. We seek solace in new and superfluous invention and

in the clouded screens of indolent spiritual falsehood. We

continue always ant-like in our pitiful and wretched domain.

Never understanding the ticking of the hour in the endless

night of clocks.

 

 

 

 

And so does sleep relieve the interminable thread of joy; bring

silence to the ghoulish daytime parade of the sad and the

lonely, the lost and ever greedy souls. The hallucinogenic grip

of time cannot be escaped from or controlled only witnessed

only experienced. Its’ only concern is to eat away at the lines on

your face the tears in your eyes and the booming echoes that

resound in the vast museum of the heart.

In the claustrophobic and terrifyingly distant lands

men are beaten bloodless with the iron rims of a factory chair.

They hang in the whistling noonday breeze cloaked in a newfound

secrecy. We turn this nightmare into a televisual feast, a

brooding chasm of our lost innocence. Then we idly turn the

world on its head and invent the unilateral quiz show.

The passing clouds briefly alleviate our restless guilt

and sunlight becomes an impenetrable anagram of the soul.

Alone we press on relying on hope, on false hope and the

twisted and deceitful lies that are fed to us as children. We

gamble daily with the inner disease of autocracy. The plural

joys of love unreal and untouchable, always out of reach, we

convince ourselves of these false and misleading half-truths and

invent new ways to destroy the remnants of mystery and

innocence.

There are no new or insightful ways to fortify the lost

lines that aimlessly lead us to the voice of our one true angel,

the devilish mystic or the hick town trickster. No unifying force

no healing hand or soothing touch can protect us in this idle

moment.
