Suffer to Become

Pain and ecstasy,
swim in superficial seas.
Idealized through centuries
of poetic dribbling.
Hope and pity
are a self-inflicted cruelty.
Sewing seeds of catastrophe--
the birth of a tragedy.
Welcome the suffering.
Greet the pain.
Embrace the desolation.
Let sickness remain.
Ill-treatment and indignities.
To you I wish the same.
Your endurance is your worth.
Let your weakness burn away.
Suffer to Become.
Life is the crucible,
In which we are tried--
Through hardship and trial,
man is purified.
Cast not your scorn,
on troubles and dismay.
Instead embrace the thorn,
and the searing of the flame.
Welcome the suffering.
Greet the pain.
Embrace the desolation.
Let sickness remain.
Ill-treatment and indignities.
To you I wish the same.
Your endurance is your worth.
Let your weakness burn away.
Suffer to Become.

The Climb

The throne of lies, contrived
to bring about some peace of mind:
A disguise to shield us from the flames which rise
to consume those who fail The Climb.
In chaos we thrive and through conflict arise
to the highest peak of creation.
Clothe us in lies, and through deceit’s guise,
ascend to the greatest heights of man...
We will climb.
What is man,
but a beast of flesh, bone and dust?
All his strivings, but molder and rust.
I call you to become something more.
Beyond beast, beyond man:
Ascend.
In chaos we thrive and through conflict arise
to the highest peak of creation.
Clothe us in lies, and through deceit’s guise,
ascend to the greatest heights of man...
We will climb.
The times of peace are the times of stagnation.
Good men become pigs, and brave men complacent.
But these times of war are the golden ages.
Through suffering comes the cultivation of greatness.
Pandemonium is the means to much greater heights;
Chaos, a ladder we climb
to ascend to our rightful place
upon the throne of lies.
In chaos we thrive and through conflict arise
to the highest peak of creation.
Clothe us in lies, and through deceit’s guise,
ascend to the greatest heights of man...
We will climb

Prometheon

Do You cower in Your heaven?
In cloud and vapors shrouded?
And unto this earth abandon
your children, Your legacy?
Behold Your creation,
born to this world of decay.
Your divine imperfection,
left to toil ‘til end of days.
We define You.
We despise You.
We deny You.
We defy You.
We are a fearless race,
No longer children, no longer slaves.
In time surpass You,
and cast aside Your gifts of grace.
Witness our ascension,
as we Your pride debase.
And we alone stand in the sun,
exalted ‘til end of days.
We define You.
We despise You.
We deny You.
We defy You.
Prometheon
We define You.
We despise You.
We deny You.
We defy You.
Here I stand forming Man in my likeness,
Wanting not of Your perfection--
To suffer, to weep, to enjoy,
And to mock You,
As do I.
