manifesto

[vurtomatic]

i want to be impassioned, i want to be mad
-let us form ourselves a merry band.
let us infect each other like pervasive virii,
let us subsume, and subvert.
from the bed of death let us rise
from our lives, reach for the burning skies.

we are an army of nothing
-we are the army of ephemeral dreams.
we are words we are fractals we are voices
we are giants striding this land,
you and i.

we have come to (s)take what is ours:
we shall suck the marrow from bones of the dreamless;
we shall beat their shin bones on drums of skin;
we shall call down fire from a cairn overlooking the future;
we shall drink their blood like wines, painting our bared grins;
a merry riot we shall dance
-a celebration; because we have come,
we have come, we of dreams, we have come,
to tear down the world, build a pyre tall as babel.

we are endings we are beginnings
we are truths we are lies
we are mirrors that reveal,
you and i

let us mourn let us rejoice
a passing and a birthing
in the wake of our madness.

let us burn, you and i,
blinding beacons of madness.

i hear the voices i hear the call
the madness calls

who heeds the madness call?

Sound much like "Come Lie with Me and Be My Love" by Lawrence Ferlinghetti. I like it a lot.
