full of eyes

by sigma


imagined history states that 

an accuser, Lucifer,

was at one point:

an angelic lead voice, 

bearer of an eternal flame,

first among equals

in a whole host of holy beings;


and how God loves thee,

even as your distortions,

perturbations, 

and abominations

attempt to consume 

every last little piece.


in the periphery,

at a bridge on the

outskirts of a humanity

blind to divinity


this visionary has seen at least


that threefold state

where four living 

beings conjugate

wings beating to bellow

an energetic array

in the twelve spaces 

of faces which emanate


incense floods the liminal space


"oh all my doubts!

brothers from each others mothers"


"what have your envies and fears uncovered? what has it afforded us?"


"did we discover the knowledge of

good and evil, become godly

in the process of indifference

bringing us closer together?"


falling seemingly forever in love

with ourselves?


or was it instead 

the envelopment of bending

light as the screen behind the mirror

sunk our minds at an alarming rate

into the black hole state of staring

at a reflection of your face? our face?


face to face forming doubt about 

which one if us is real. My God!

rescue me from this aberrant

looking glass, this sea of dark lies.


awareness of this doubt floods

an anxious id inside me

sparkling fires in flywheels

created easy killing fields,

death marches 

to hide 

the dead 

deep inside hills.


metastatic

man machines

mowing scorched earth

circumfusing

self-healing roads and

walls ever-present 

dividing,

all the while

expanding chalk-white 

land rights use

with a salty earth-based

mythology,

freedom to lie, liberty to take

complete with homeland security.


im not seeing a lot of good stuff

but Im trying to keep the holiest 

of my spirits up.


im sorry faithless believers, 

but I dont have an issue with Gods divinity.


unlike those who claim His name

hurt those already in pain, 

and consume innocents


Revelation 18 says

God has already placed a millstone

around their sweating necks

in time we'll see the ocean

chasm turn its tides

to crush their shameful hide

20,000 fathoms deep and wide.


its always been those who

love to live lies, at the expense

of everyone's life


OH! but here's the thing about that—

the spectacle of our Self 

causes quite a scene,

denying, deflecting, projecting

those scars and callouses

on our hearts 

as sword-shaped

crosses to bear from

this galvanized mark 

outlining a dead sea 

paid for with the 

blood of our very first brother,

otherwise known as

countless lambs slain

to remind us

the wages of sin 

is life, itself 

culminating

in the innocents

slowly slipping away,

no matter how hard we grasp,


death awaits

desolate

désole


in a sense, every sense

communicates this

far-flung state.


we fill the skies

full of eyes,

while engaging in

a flesh interface


4 living beings are now

covering cherubs

with a baby face


who would you choose

to hand over your fate?

a guide,

a guardian

an authoritarian snake?


of course they say

"our love isss alwaysss a peaceful orderly ssspace.

propagating at an ever-exsssspanding rate."


yet every eye sees

every ear hears

nothing metastasizing,

eating everything on its plate.


an abomination that makes desolate.
