Digesting images of obtuse ends
Pieces of puzzles we must not assemble
Drilling, endless holes
Catalyzing flesh
Hate-lust for grey desolate landscapes
Labyrinth of rationalization
Constructing these vast alien soils
Trickle-down karmic fallout waves
Engineering clouds only to stave off the burn
See how easy it is to destroy a planet
I see the Earth crumbling
I crave nothing of this
Under a hearth collapsing
Sheltered but unprotected
I feel shame and doubt
Our names will not ring out
Fire dancers seeking to call rain
Dreaming of vibrant drought-gone hues
Reaping our liquid black harvest
Dry, toxic, bitter, hateful, selfish
All this wasted time
All this wasted life
Now, this is all mine

Ra!
The ancients were looking in the right direction
Their eyes were solar bound
In lore they left us with the right connections
Their gods were solar bound
These conscious vessels, extra-systemic
Ever in conflict with an evolved nature
A hidden message swaying gently in the breeze
The greenest of our kin drink directly from the sun
Peer through a gateway to a clear perspective
Your thoughts are solar bound
Glimpse a vision of our true potential
Our hearts are solar bound
As we reflect upon the blind destruction of the past
These rays keep on giving
Free to evolve beyond this flesh and rock and ash
Towards cosmic living
The histories reveal our slow progression
When minds were fossil bound
Select few visionaries shattered conventions
Their dreams were solar bound

Separate

Am I more than my name?
Can I transcend through accomplishments?
Immersed in self, fully separate
Engrossed in craving others
We are born into solitude
Fundamentally divided
Uprooted from the source of all being
But this is only temporary
I feel a longing for your touch
Can you please spare a moment to kick me directly in the teeth?
What has individuality achieved for us?
Are we really so elevated?
Through constant conflict and competition
Our potential is debased
All existence is love or war
And the choice is ours
Tear my heart out through my ribs
See? Now we're together
Paint my face clear with your spit
Please, I will always listen
I feel a longing for your love
But it seems that I will continue walking down this path alone

Seize the world for all it's worth
Every inch of this planet Earth
There are no rules, nothing's preset
Your only masters are those you accept
Open your eyes, there is no clear predefined path
Your own two feet and your courage are all that you have
Strength, resolve, focus, openness, presence of mind
Harness all these and claim victory every time
Forget destiny and reject fate
Behold! Your kingdom is what you create
Seek no privilege, collect no gifts
Build your own power and consecrate it
Some claim limitations are their birthright
To these then I offer this insight:
You will only achieve what you strive for
Know that the universe could have been yours
No one holds the keys to your prison
You must choose to emancipate yourself
Many voices will seek to make you forget
That nothing stands in your way
Except your self
This is all yours
