Enlightenment

Why not marry a child-prostitute as did Hosea
or eat bread on bullshit, like did Ezekiel.
That's what enlightenment came to mean
as God to his followers deemed:
"My people are not following but navel-gazing.
the known world and money more amazing
to them than my kingdom and my words!
Let it be heard - do this and that, be absurd!!"

Why not sit in the den while fed by the ravens?
That brings trust onto a new level to sever cravings;
the connection of establishment and imperfections!
Wanting to be special, loathing the not enough.dissections...
What is to be acted upon in a cave accompanied
by only silly birds and sounds of silence indeed?
How many hours of many years can you withstand?
Will people take you back, when you've broken the brand!

Loose everything you own and are, including your friends in need;
Job was done, but God was not - can you repeat that feat?
Some named their children: "War-spoils" and "Booty"
can you extend your gratitude, then people contempt your goody
two-shoes nature; still keep grinding your everyday without delay.
Or will you forsake your endeavor on the first devour and mayday?
That goes without a say, don't start building towers if got no bricks
to mission completed the show what goes on, while being the side-stick!

Can you loose your face and faith; be like the hollow wraith;
like the pure sound, without meaning; the word without sense and scathe!
Be the color who has no name nor being. To be the unmarked grave;
can you call yourself insane enough to request for that in manners brave?
People loose minds over pretty ladies and sullied titled or broken glaives;
do you really seek enlightenment or is it a spork to avoid forks and knives?
That day that ends, shall descend upon you - like a vulture or raven pick your eyes;
can you abide, as your guts is ripped and your marrow chipped away in lullabies?

Can you forget your sweetness and nice attire, becoming like sack-cloth for the dead
and dire? Will you be able to stand stranded on the sands of neglect or instead;
will you seek for bounties now or never, success for attitudes and amused spires;
will you vengeance for lust and earthly pleasures; putting lever on lever - measures admire?
Can you hover over the people, like a scarecrow over the ravens being their cross
and switchblade; to be unmade and untamed, for the scapegoats namesake at a loss?
When you could seek enlightenment and rejoice in the straight and narrow;
as your navel gazes at sword point and your soul drinks poison from arrows!
