Apocalypse
The apocalypse is tomorrow
so batton down your lungs with the red earth
wet the dust to make clay
cover yourself in what you think is your worth,
The apocalypse is tomorrow
but throw your sorrows away.
We don't need them in this deathland
we care no more about what you say.
The apocalypse is today.
An unfamiliar came down to say, "I love you.
All things must pass - even the rains."
and "Whatever happens, I am above you."
The apocalypse is today,
I watched the crowds congregate beneath the final cloud
Read the rest of the poem Show less
ballasted in temperamental shadow, painted
in the sticky mirage of what makes 'em proud.
The apocalypse is now
toss your shoes and blister your feet
to the endless bonfire of chance,
along this road your maker you'll meet.
The apocalypse is now
so give me despair and glory
gimme crepuscular rays and dehydration
burnt chapters to end each story.

Hip hop, psychedelics, meditation, peering over the cliff, staring at vast arrays of trees, feeling ecstatic, feeling lost, feeling young, feeling wise, feeling stupid.
