Sans Abris
Ends that justify the means
Dogma evokes obedience
Conscience deceived
Deaf to suffering
Silencing morality and screams
As you look away
Reality is what you want to feel
And what you want to see
Rationalize
To overcome the guilt
Your self righteous certainty
Shatters as you become prey

(Heart Still) Shatters
Lie about feeling small
Low about standing up ever tall
For there's nothing like a brawl
Guess heart still shatters to crawl
Heart still shatters
Heart still shatters to crawl
Heart still shatters
Heart still shatters to crawl
For I'm not feeling whole
Only now I don't know wish to crawl
Denial of the love being ever minimal
Guess heart still shatters to crawl
Heart still shatters
Heart still shatters to crawl
Heart still shatters
Heart still shatters to crawl
Never wanted you to ignore this plea
Even no golden marquee
Every day passes not feeling free
Guess heart still shatters to see
Heart still shatters
Heart still shatters to see
Heart still shatters
Heart still shatters to see
Letting me forget priority
A memory passes over recently
So hurt now but so easily
Guess heart still shatters to see
Heart still shatters
Heart still shatters to see
Heart still shatters
Heart still shatters to see
But now I struggle to even adore
A hope goes out open doors
Left feeling like that of sore
Guess heart still shatters to ignore
Heart still shatters
Heart still shatters to ignore
Heart still shatters
Heart still shatters to ignore
For unsure what's in store
May leave me feeling unsure
Here life isn't yet pure
Guess heart still shatters to ignore
Heart still shatters
Heart still shatters to ignore
Heart still shatters
Heart still shatters to ignore

Guilt resembles a sword with two edges. On the one hand, it cuts for Justice, imposing practical morality upon those who fear it. But there is another side to that weighted emotion. Conscience does not always adhere to rational judgment. Guilt is always a self-imposed burden, but it is not always rightly imposed.

I DON'T THINK I EVER KNOW IF I EVER REALLY WANT IT
COULD BE WHY I'M NEVER SURE IF I EVER REALLY GOT IT
AND I GUESS IT'S MAYBE EASIER NOT TO THINK TOO MUCH ABOUT IT...
A HOUSE A CAR A FAMILY AND FRIENDS
yeah ALL IT MEANS TO JUSTIFY THE ENDS
BUT SOMETIMES... I WONDER... IN THE BACK OF MY MIND
SOMETIMES... I WONDER... IF I'M WASTING ALL MY TIME
SOMETIMES... I WONDER... IF I'M PUTTING OFF MY REAL LIFE...
WHAT I COULD'VE DONE, WHERE I COULD'VE BEEN
WHEN I SHOULD'VE GONE, WHY I SHOULD'VE SEEN
WHO I WOULD'VE LOVED, HOW I WOULD'VE DREAMED
AND IF IT'S ALWAYS ALWAYS TOO LATE...
I DON'T THINK I EVER KNOW THAT I EVER REALLY NEED IT
COULD BE WHY I'M NEVER SURE THAT I EVER REALLY FEEL IT
AND I THINK IT'S MAYBE EASIER TO GUESS I REALLY MEAN IT...
A HOUSE! A CAR! A FAMILY AND FRIENDS!
yeah ALL IT MEANS TO JUSTIFY THE ENDS
BUT SOMETIMES... I WONDER...
A GIRL! A SMILE! A HOLIDAY AND SEX!
yeah ALL IT TAKES TO MAKE SENSE OF THE REST
BUT SOMETIMES... I WONDER... IN THE BACK OF MY MIND
SOMETIMES... I WONDER... IF I'M KILLING ALL MY TIME
SOMETIMES... I WONDER... IF I'M GIVING UP MY REAL LIFE...
WHAT I COULD'VE DONE, WHERE I COULD'VE BEEN
WHEN I SHOULD'VE GONE, WHY I SHOULD'VE SEEN
WHO I WOULD'VE LOVED, HOW I WOULD'VE DREAMED
AND IF IT'S ALWAYS, ALWAYS TOO LATE...
AND EVERY DAY THAT I LET SLIDE
IS ONE DAY MORE I NEVER TRY
TO BREAK THE WORLD
TO MAKE MY FATE
AND WITH EVERY DAY THAT I LET GO
IT'S ONE DAY LESS I EVER KNOW
IF IT'S ALWAYS
ALWAYS TOO LATE...

Untitled Manifestations
The mirror that you look shatters when the words that you breathed are conveyed.
The mirror that you look shatters to millions when your eyes are set to the one thing that you cant get.
The mirror that you look shatters to millions when your heart turned black to the things that you assumed incompatible.
The mirror that you look fucking obviously shatters to gazillions when you try to smile beautifully where in reality you are actually tarnished and tainted and with so much more indescribable thoughts on your face from the things that reflected you.

Science is properly more scrupulous than dogma. Dogma gives a charter to mistake, but the very breath of science is a contest with mistake, and must keep the conscience alive.

Don't Walk With Eyes Shut
Keep your conscience vulnerable to guilt.
It must listen to it and warn you in future.
Be it not hardened to be immune to guilt..
Without conscience, you walk with eyes shut.

There are two sorts of hypocrites: ones that are deceived with their outward morality and external religion; and the others are those that are deceived with false discoveries and elevation; which often cry down works, and men's own righteousness, and.

Conscience is silenced
Butchers have no guilt that they have slaughtered.
Choppers have no guilt that they have chopped
Fishermen have no guilt for their catch.
Soldiers have no guilt for their killings
Killing as profession will silence one’s conscience.

Man is a means and not an end, and he is a means to economic or political ends which are not really ends in themselves but means to other ends which in their turn are means and so ad infinitum.

Then he saw also that it matters little what profession, whether of religion or irreligion, a man may make, provided only he follows it out with charitable inconsistency, and without insisting on it to the bitter end. It is in the uncompromisingness with which dogma is held and not in the dogma or want of dogma that the danger lies.

Save Our Souls
Do you think you need to
save our souls?
What makes you think
our souls need saving?
Do you feel you need to
save our souls?
To save your own... wretched neck?
What have you done so wrong
you feel you need to
save our souls so badly?
“Blessings are for the head
of the righteous one, but
as regards the mouth of the wicked
ones, it covers up violence.” Proverbs 10: 6.
“He that is walking in integrity
will walk in security, but
he that is making his ways crooked
will make himself known.” Proverbs 10: 9.
Some of us need
only to go to church;
for weddings christenings or funerals;
driven in our own hearse.
It was Simon Peter who said...
“For a certainty I perceive
that God is not partial,
but in every nation the man
that fears him and works righteousness
is acceptable to him [God].” Acts 10: 34-35.
“For the hearers of the law are not
the ones righteous before God, but
the doers of law will be declared righteous.
For whenever people of the nations
that do not have law
do by nature the things of the law,
these people, although not having law,
are a law to themselves.
They are the very ones
who demonstrate the matter of the law
to be written in their hearts,
while their conscience is bearing witness
with them and, between
their own thoughts, they are being
accursed or even excused.” Romans 2: 13-15.
What bounty payment price
do you expect
for your supposedly unselfishly
saving our souls?
How is it that you do not
yet know that “Hatred is what stirs
up contentions, but love
covers over even all transgressions.” Proverbs 10: 12.
“By loving-kindness and true-ness
error is atoned for,
and in the fear of Jehovah
one turns away from bad.” Proverbs 16: 6.
What then is the inclination
of your heart? And what
does your conscience bear
witness for you to do?
Do you listen to your heart
your conscience?
Do you live by God’s laws
in righteousness?
Or is sin your joy your stumbling toy?
“And do not become fearful of those
that kill the body but cannot kill the soul;
but rather be in fear of him that can destroy
both soul and body in Gehenna.” Matthew 10: 28.
“For what benefit will it be to a man
if he gains the whole world
but forfeits his soul? Or what will a man
give in exchange for his soul? ” Matthew 16: 26.

Cannot go side by side.

Find Now Your Heart, Allow Its Healing
Doth this monster you have become bear a conscience?
Do you not possess means for how to end this?
For you shall carry with you much shame, remorse-
Allow yourself to release it though, over time's course!
Still do believe that your path be righteous?
Or, do you concede perhaps, there be vengeance?
Either way, love, must you allow its leave-
For it to not linger, all effort must be to heave!
Apologies are easy, not though, to swallow pride-
Self-guilt, which you must possess-a lonesome ride!
Find now your heart, allow its healing:
Restore now its capacity for love and feeling!
When there exists, a time, a place-
All else may be sent away, erased!
