Human Condition

HUMAN CONDITIONSalubrious slime thinly coatedThrough foul excrement trudgingly devotedInsatiable tube through which passesEndless sludge the culture of the massesSightless organ fragile membrane directingAgainst hard darkness unrelenting Outwardly propelled by anterior sensation Mindless head devoid of imaginationTo the elite a magnificent transcendence Majestic metamorphosis denied the classes With darkened vision and eternal dependence Upon base sensation and womb like existenceFrom the heavens golden rays in flightA besprinkled generation glimmered in the light Assembled at the White Lake in all their mightThe wings of hope rose with smoke into the air Only to be dashed upon the rocks of despairChristopher Colewww.thecloserssong.com Written November 26th, 2001 © on Nov 26 2001 01:30 PM PST   0 • 1
