The gods of old


The gods of old

The beings we worship 

Seem to glow so much

So much so that we fell for the fox’s trap 

We fell for that heavenly glow 

So much so we couldn’t see the fangs it was showing us 

Behind its mask of lies
We decided to believe that light instead of seeing its fur its teeth and its ears

Why are we so vulnerable to beauty 

That we fall head first into a bear trap 

Why can’t we see past the lies

  • Taoism

    Taoism 

    Where one seeks enlightenment by shutting off their emotions 

    But how will that lead to enlightenment 

  • words

    Words 

    They hold power

    Like a gun 

    But it’s our voices that give them power

    Words are an unloaded gun

    And our voices are the bullets 

  • Hardships

    Hardships

    It’s a path to salvation 

    And to demise 

    If you rise or fall

    Is up to you 

    Will you always be stuck in this swamp
