One Breathing Scum

Eternal lust
Yearning beyond the mortal coil, Burning the flesh
to expose beyond the vessel
Human weakness in relativity
Scum life layered upon millennia before it
False thinking present state is separate
just because there is air to proliferate.

Illusion the world is wiser now
Layers and layers covering past's crust
leaving blindness in place of foundation
As men recoil in their own disgust
Cowering at the sight that they are all
One breathing scum.

Evolution a trope.
Disconnection prevalent
Covered truth carrying its weight in lopsidedness
-Hollowed consciousness.
People afraid of the true power
Eternal strength that comes from
understanding of wordless entanglement
The Abyss your ally to slay weak mental form
Contemplating in it while knowing
there is a without. Both the same and eating itself.

Instantaneous revelation expanding out of the horde
Simultaneously collapsing into it.
Inversions to bend mind
until it breaks
into changed state, gross matter gone
Earthly perversions fully realized
Remembering the eternal fuck.
