The Rice Experiment


Love thyself

I am love

Love is my nature

When I spill blood

Even then

Such an action is enacted

By the passion within love

Love is killing the predator refusing to stay at bay

Love doesn't push you off the cliff

To take the leap of faith

Love jumps with you

To show theirs no need to be afraid

Love is in death

Hence the second chance to resurrect as our best

How do you love?

Who do you love?

Why do you love?

I love not what you do

I love you

I trust a lion

Because, to it's nature

I know it will remain true

I trust a snake

To be one with it's fangs

I trust human beings to be flawed

As they should be

Both polarities of God

How do you trust?

Who do you trust?

Why do you trust?

Do you trust me?

Or do you trust what you want

Do you love me?

Or what you perceive me to be

Is your love based on trust

Or what you want

Is what you trust based on preference

Or acceptance

Love is infinite

Different parts of one

I love my spiritual companions

That's why I will harm none

It may sound unsane

But I love the enemy entities

That's why they'll be in a deceased state

If one is ever attempting to end me

Love is not blinding

Love sees all through the heart

When the mind is the one guiding

Perception begins to fall apart

Love hurts

Love births

Love kills

Love wills

Love is pleasurable

Love is truth

Healthily expressing love requires this truth:

You can never love me

Until you love you

Just as earth will and can absorb all

Including polluting energy that destructs

The heart can love anything

Including lust

Love must be protected with swords

As sharp as native spears carved with bone and bark

Theirs an art

To defending and ejecting love from the heart

Love when from a spiritual place

That's rare, fragile

But never breaks

Spiritual love is ancient

Spiritual love is historic

It shall repeat itself

If the sacrifices are worth it

Let your mind watch

Let your heart talk

To Love thyself

Is to trust thyself

To trust thyself

Is to accept thyself

To accept thyself

Is to become one

With the nature of the infinite sun

To thy own self be true
