HARBINGERS OF HEDONISM

riding the waves of heroin and speed
feeding my needs but making me bleed
i pray for the future that has been prophecied
i pray for a world of love, justice, and peace

my eyes and my mind are opened so wide
i can’t keep my visions locked up deep inside
i share what i see with energy and with pride
i long for a taste of your tongue while we kiss and i ride

i am too busy evolving to be constrained by your conception of the flow of time
i am playing with metaphor
i am playing with rhyme

we learn to feel the divine when we feel our souls crying
we unleash nascent godlings rising up and flying

choices permeate all of our existence
choices confront our forces as we resist this sick system
we speak truth to power but the juntas never listen
so we take the stage like postmodern dancers and we fuck like sex vixens

the logic of cause and effect amplifies my insight
conjuring memories of magical sex and carnal delight
i explore the contours of existence: the flow of dark into light
we shred our own canvases like banksy cuz our street art battalions rule the night

i am training my frontal lobes to mass produce dopamine
i breathe deep in meditation to sow new sentient seeds
we evolve and rebel: we craft our own mutant creeds
we demand a new world free from imperial war and from greed

our rulers control the palaces but our subaltern armies rule the streets
we are syncing our souls to digital signals modulating like a hard house beat
our praetorian guard is armed with venom delivered by fang like teeth
our minions will slay your heiresses while they languish in sleep

i need to be held like i need to be heard
i am transcribing new tablets awaiting the next holy word
i imagine a future where our potential flies free like a bird
this world owes me nothing but we owe each other the world

angels of light emerge from toxic wastelands of pollution
the cesspool of power reeks of blood and nefarious collusion
we seek the strength to transform and describe spiritually potent solutions
harbingers of hedonism are transformed into harbingers of revolution
