Boiling Point

 Boiling Point 5/28/2014

Open your eyes

And feel with your mind

Because the tension is mounting

With electricity and friction. 

Everywhere you go

And everything you hear

Is building up to something

Unpredictable and flammable. 

The match is lit

And the deeds are done

As everything comes unraveled

In a horrific frenzy. 

But not everything

That’s real

Can be seen

Or measured.

Some laugh at the dead

And ridicule the dying

Humiliating the good

Every chance they get. 

See their cold, dead reptilian eyes

Lifeless, and cruel

As they scan the crowd

Looking for something to steal

Or someone to attack.

The world is restless

And many are scared

Very well aware

That they are the hated

And the hunted.  

Blamed for every problem

And hounded into extinction

Bled out slowly

One drop at a time. 

We debase ourselves

And lay down like fish

Flopping on the deck

And chopped up at will. 

When they talk of peace

Beware of war

Because God knows man

And his hateful heart.   

But here is the secret

That many do not know

That nothing lasts forever

Not even this

And not even death.  

The thinnest veil

Is all that separates

What we see

And what is there.

All around you

And all around me

The spirits cry out

Begging us to listen. 

A flame flickers in my heart

Fueled by the spirit

That dwells within

An undeserved gift

For all who ask. 

It burns

And cannot be put out

So what threat should I fear?

And from whom does it come?

We shall ride across the sky

Without restraint or limits

With the truth on our lips

And fire in our nostrils.

All of this is over

And all of this is done

With nothing left to wait for

Except the call

And the hour.
