Wake up, little Jesus. Drop to your bloody knees and pray.



Opposites


We live, we learn in opposites:
dark is the night, light is the sun:
We breathe, we teach, we know
in opposites:
good is right, happy is fun,
yet we are not one
no we are not one.

Wake up, little Jesus.
Time is ticking, wasting away.
Rise from bed, little sleeper,
drop to your bloody knees and pray...
...and pray.

Confess now, our Father,
Your sins are mounting by the day.
Rise now from your stupor,
drop all your pretense and say...
...and say:

I give, I teach in opposites:
spark is the fight, fight is the fun:
You grieve, receive, you owe
in opposites:
struggle equals good, ease equals bad,
you only have yourself to thank
for all you've ever had.
I am but a shadow, lingering in mind.
I am all you seek, but fear to find.

Profess now, next Prophetess,
Mistress of the Coming Day.
Rise from your confusion,
drop your helplessness and slay,
and slay...

All the lies that surround you,
the opposites compound you,
Your sins are only imagined, so scream
cry out a warning, wake those who dream.
You are but a voice, a life-saving guide:
representative of the true god inside.

We live, we learn in opposites:
dark is the night, light is the sun:
We breathe, we teach, we know
in opposites:
good is right, happy is fun,
yet we are not one
no we are not one.

We give, we earn in opposites:
stark is our plight, fright is our gun:
We receive, we reach, we sew
in opposites:
forever is night, a moment, our sun,
yes, we are all one
we are all one.

Your mother, your brother, it's you:
The paradise is of your own design.
Love your enemy through and through.
This Hell, nothing short of Divine.

Shake off, shake off, my opposites.
Think only, "We are all One".
When I learn this fully, without opposites
then this life of ours is done.
