Infinite
Infinite
Everywhere and nowhere, everyone and no one
All the same and different, All chained but distant
We are individuals, we are clones
We are crowed, we are alone
We share pain, we have different groans
Existing in one house, We Are Home
Walls construct, crumble and destruct
Pieces of us lost beneath the ruble
Explosions erupt, the smoke clears, it’s all fear
We’re all here, were all stuck,
erosion amok
We hear but don’t see, separation, loss of trust
Dissolve in dust, kill, corrupt, entitlements entitle laws corrupt
Hands in cuffs, Fight, For What?
The ignorant speak,
The “weak” stand and preach, the strong run, the gun feeds
Off bodies as they fall in the street, as a car comes to a screech
Far in peace, the tree losses its leaves
Freedom walks down the sidewalk
Ignoring the car and its consequences of speed
Hypnotized by the headphones that deliver melodic speech
Ever slowly becoming trapped within her thoughts
Staring at the ground, she gets lost in her feet
Her beautiful toes rose, as the concrete and asphalt connect and complete
To form an open box, with the sun and the moon
We are one again
But in front us stands an object with open hands
With translucent skin that show pictures that depict false scriptures
As our minds fall in a trance we become dichotomized
The formation of "we" becomes "I" and "I" becomes me
Hypnotized by its seductive speech
Sodomized and violated, I feel so weak
I look around and see angles strangled in the same situation
Beautiful Majestic balls of energy come to resemble this odd fascination
Some fight to remain in their previous state trying to convince the others to run away
They say “Fight,” but the others just shrug and reply “For what?”
Their being disrupts changing into the form of the object they begin to refer to as teacher
Covered in shiny objects that display reflections of ones once known
This faceless object with hair in the form of snakes turns everybody to stone
Handing out treasures, they fight bicker and moan over what used to mean nothing
And as I watch the teacher gaze over everything that it owns
I begin to fear what I’m becoming
Others that I used to refer to as brothers become more and more like the teacher every second
Ostracizing those that aren’t making the transformation as quickly
Swiftly placing the burden on the minority as they ascend into superiority
Saying “Teacher, Teacher,” tell them to leave us alone they preventing us from learning
Placing them in time out as they watch the others in yearning
The teacher tells them they can come out once they’ve earned the treasure
So they fight each other in hopes to discover whose better
Some refuse and become stars in the space that hovers over the box
And some are released into the population but are rejected and mocked
"You’ll never be like us," they tease in disgust
Falling in lust with the superiors holding treasures who are almost fully developed in skin like the object in the front that teaches them knowledge of the world within
The box that we have adopted as our home
Their home,
because we are not one anymore
Affection become infection with the acceptance of perception
Infatuation becomes truth as love transcends into pretense
Sense of morals dwindle
Symbols resemble the marks of the teacher
Wars, hate, and arguments arise for simple hopes to become this object of perfection
And the strangers in the back who remain in this now "ugly" form of majestic light dissolve in to light and becomes stars in the space above
After falling behind after being trapped and scared I stare at these balls of gas
Speaking to me through constellations
They give me words of discoveries in another dimension
And I begin to lose formation
Part of me remains constrained in the epidermis and the other a being about 4 feet 2
I become two
The 4 foot 2 being I’ve become runs to the corners of the box and jumps through a small hole and escapes
I try to follow but the beautiful object with markings and translucent skin with hair as snakes keeps me in place
I am frozen in time where eternity passes in seconds
Every action is governed in the present by the present
Depression becomes pleasant until the 4 foot 2 being returns
With the body of the strangers that resemble the sky
In the outlined formation of the object that chains my location
He brings me knowledge of the other world
Reminding me of what it was like before the symbols changed our coloration
Before the wars, transformation, degradation
And treasures we were all just one creation
And as I come to this realization, my smooth cage begins to wither
The snakes slither and the teacher dissolves in fabrication
The walls of the box sway and fall to an empty grave
My existence begins to fade, rising to join the stars becoming brighter and brighter
Till I open my eyes and squint through my hands to protect me from the sun’s rays
As I sit under the shade next to a tree on a warm sunny day
I look down at the green grass and the birds that hover around the hill
And I spot in front of me a child standing about 4 foot 2
He turns around and waves as if to say "hi" but I perceive it as "goodbye"
He reaches his hand out to me, I reached out to him but my hands fall through
But he doesn’t look surprised
he grasps something that I was unable to see with eyes
And runs down a purple feathered hill with my soul
I chase after him on green grass
Then I slow as I watch his body vibrate and explode into a divine entity
I behold in awe as the particles of that 4 foot 2 child in me who saw the box how it was instead of what it appeared to be dissolve into
Infinity….
