Regressive Impressionism
My muse is an amazing artist I met while sitting around the fires of the mind one night meditating on the energy and spirit of the life surrounding me. His comedy and passion and music and beauty took my breath away and I have had a long distance mutual muslationship with him ever since. I barely know him, yet I love him dearly. I wrote this after spending two hours looking at and discussing his art with my family. It incited a maelstrom of inspiration within me, and this was the result.
Regressive Impressionism
Palatable poison she said with a sneer
Just one kiss and nothing to fear
Mocking the depth of mortal mischief
Without any sense for the darkness within it
An accepted perception of pestilent waste
Consumption beyond description
The chew and swallow without the taste
Continue to blind and be blinded, it's bright
The big and the bold and the more it glitters gold
You lose soul, you lose will, you lose sight
Eyes closed, arms fold
The fires eat their minds whole
The most truly terrifying part of all
They never realize their own downfall
And even when their flesh
Is literally melting from their frame
They won't believe the government lies
And trades their misery for monetary gain
How easily fooled, to think, we are,
That happiness resides under the hood of a car
And of course the answer to every problem lies
In poisonous prescriptions specially designed
To cover up the symptoms while we slowly go blind
Converted to a governmentalized flesh eating zombie
You'd throw away your sense of self for one cup of coffee
