Riderless Chariot

A chariot is pulled
By a rebellious dark horse
And a spirited white horse
The central natural -
Passion in a man’s soul.
He keeps it locked away,
Told to endure, to be strong,
Hold fast to the order of reason,
In spite of pleasure and pain.
The agent and the function are fused.
The thing that makes blood surge in his veins.
Is neither bad nor good –
It’s all in how it’s directed.
Chasing after one or the other?
He wants to really live.

Judge

Give yourself grace
And leave this place
No one is perfect
I want you to reflect
No one is out for you
Start the path anew
Look at what you’ve done
In the light of a new sun
Wonder and rejoice
Forget the suspicious voice
I don't think it tells the truth
Forget the teaching of youth
Instead of hate from above:
Something you are worthy of
…You deserve love

Praise?

I just think about your life
Not fair that you have strife
Do you feel the same?
You don’t seem to blame
Living that way modestly
I value your true honesty
Nobody I know hates you
But do they know it true?
The mental health issue…
Do you still hate that name?
I don’t know who to blame
I'm glad I don't live that way
That is sad for me to say

Grace

All I want is to give you a choice
I don’t always hear your voice
You had a different play
I had something to say
Listening should be my forte
You know it doesn’t go that way
Nobody wanted this legacy
You can’t give this piece back to me
Fortune might not be smiling on you
But I want the best it’s true
Look at my face and you'll see
Constant love and care in me
All I want is to give you a choice
Know that I want to hear your voice

Everything is infinite,
No one sits above another
There is no puppet master,
Only pure conscience.
One can understand
If you don't do it now,
You have to come back again
Suffer innumerable lives,
Until you are finally free.
The understanding of the soul
Is an innate understanding for us;
Although we cannot describe it

Release

Let go of your own
That is not your throne
View the code of the universe
Rewrite the rhyme and verse
At the level of the soul
Make the action whole
With thought and voice
The divine is your choice
What satisfies your heart?
The question at the start
It's not fun to be small
In the infinite overall
Fear can hide
That everything is inside
When you conjure your desire
You rekindle that inner fire
What universal principle is behind?
It’s the joy you find

Yeeted

We are yeeted
How do we find each other?
How can we find our freedom here?
The most basic question
Let me try to unravel this thought.
The idea is that man is already found.
We cannot exist independently.
Delivered to the world,
that we share with others.
We're always trapped
in fear, boredom, excitement - fear.
Discard this idea
Be an authentic person
Show potential through action
You are not abandoned

Which Hell? I am already a son of perdition, Since I up and left that tradition I’ll be lucky to make it to one heaven, But my hells number more than seven. So which one is gunna get me? Which...

Days

I left the North
Where men don’t smile
To drive my car
Down 17 Mile

I was red
Leaving that place
Now I paint myself
Blue in the face

All your classmates
Carved in stone
We’ve never met
Fully grown

Reading 10 year old posts
My former profile pic
I think back now
And it makes me sick

I can cry “Hope”
I can change my ways
No amount of soap
Seems to wash off days
