The gods of old


The gods of old

The beings we worship 

Seem to glow so much

So much so that we fell for the fox’s trap 

We fell for that heavenly glow 

So much so we couldn’t see the fangs it was showing us 

Behind its mask of lies
We decided to believe that light instead of seeing its fur its teeth and its ears

Why are we so vulnerable to beauty 

That we fall head first into a bear trap 

Why can’t we see past the lies

  • Fight

    Our fathers

    Mothers 

    Daughters

    Sons

    Have fought 

    When there is no time to sit

    When there’s no more patience 

    For our world 

    We stand 

    And fight

    And win

  • Taoism

    Taoism 

    Where one seeks enlightenment by shutting off their emotions 

    But how will that lead to enlightenment 

  • words

    Words 

    They hold power

    Like a gun 

    But it’s our voices that give them power

    Words are an unloaded gun

    And our voices are the bullets
