Mammon. .בהמות
By Billy | December 27, 2009
We
the humans of the untied states
the hungry ghosts
the untouchable aching
–
We are
the air you breathe. The shit you smell. The flesh you rend. The tears you shed.
We are looking
all. the. time.
for substance.
for truth.
for you.
–
Where are you? Whom do you love?
Why are you waiting?
We ache, we cringe, we smile.
We ignore what we defile.
We eat the filth that we create.
We grab the knife to satiate.
We lick the wounds and smile kindly.
We close our eyes and lash out blindly.
The silent thief has bent our vision
and helped us rot in indecision
–
–
We wait.
so long as it’s not us that perish.
–
–
–
Your hunger is misguided, child. Your longings are not true.
You seek to end your confrontation.
Your fight is against you.
—
–
–
-Your longings are misguided.
