Augmented Fourths ~ Wednesday, July 6, 2022

Are we not worn out by fatigue and love and work

Rest is for the dead, for the wicked, the devil

Even the living must sleep but for a moment

Work for idle hands, in the workshop, children smirk

Even the devil must rest and sleep for three days

Nothing makes much sense, nothing is on the level

Only the eyes see what they believe, a stick bent

Trouble is the truth, it contradicts what is seen

Water everywhere, the devil accepts the praise

Object to Descartes, for to disavow genius

Recognize the face in the mirror as other

Never let water to become arsenious

Other than mother, the poison is my brother

Ugly to grow up in a maze, labyrinthine

Trapped inside my brain, how could I know, I was stuck

But who gives a fuck, a child destroyed, the soul dies

Yesterday, I woke in Bombay as yet unborn

Form is emptiness, inconceivable, my luck

Atrocious, this world, forgive and forget, move on

Tired of fruitless love, children, spoiled brats, full of lies

Ingenious ingrates, I describe myself with scorn

Generosity for the poverty-stricken

Understanding warps the fun house mirrors, bygone

Everyone lets go in their own good time, my crime

Ancestry noble or depraved, mediocre

Nibble on my ear, tell me you love me, my prime

Diminished fifths play the tritone, sulfur, ochre

Leach in the water, the devil cries, grief-stricken

Only the devil remembers his angel face

Vengeance is not mine but nemesis for God sets

Equal the balance, what a joke, should I believe

Argue pro or con, nonplussed, I live without grace

Never without faith but not in the Church of Lies

Despite the cards thrown on the table, place your bets

Worried about death, the Afterlife, I take leave

Our metaphysics is uncertain, do we know

Remarkable lives step in the river, sunrise

Keeps time in motion, remembers to let love grow
