Infra-krown

[skyalf]

the world's dead, all joy's trite
come breathe my life
rancid and tainted
it's all here to see and bite
torn through
its seams and hollows

all but black smoke rising to darkened skies
my fear
my disguise
my deception

I am a smoldering product of my own lies
tricked by my mask's smiling expression
Conceived. Designed. Synthesized
i am..
i am..?

my mind
my thoughts
they're not my own
my eyes and bones
all hydroponically grown
fertilized, built and scripted
instructed, hard-wired, molded, imprinted
i WANT to believe!
to protect..
to adore..
i don't want to argue these simple matters


I WANT to ever uphold your rotten black flag.

I WANT to ever wear your infra-red crown.

I SWEAR to worship black symbols of sun.

I will EVER adore your anthems in ultrasound.


Your names, your idols, your laws;
my corpse on this tainted snow.
People who ask, people who answer
people who judge and people who pay
puppets that play
puppets that wonder

And my infra-crown for all that remain

thanks a lot guys, I have recently found that inspiration doesn't visit me that often any more.. So I found it works real well, getting inspiration from other people's poetry.. This particular one was born from thoroughly internalizing the lyrics of the song http://lyrics.duble.com/T/toddrundgrenlyrics/toddrundgrenborntosynthesizelyrics.htm [Todd Rundgren - Born to Synthesize] As you can tell from reading the quoted lyrics, the poem really has very little to do with this song, yet it was deeply inspired by it. If you havent heard this song, you definitely should "...But these are just symbols to the perfected miiiinds.. Of which wee are but mere reflections.. I WAS BOoorn to SYNTHESIZE!!".
