Reality Pains

by Ace - Not entered

Faithless dogs of sin, repent
Lift your heads from the troughs of emptiness
and see the gateway of truth, the door to your savior,
Feel the wind and look into the face
The familiar smiling face,
Beckoning

The beaming rays of light
touching smiling faces warmly
And we smile, eyes glazed
Arms open, we embrace it
Voices sing and we dance
and look into the light,
as it burns away our eyes

Come to me 
Come to me, sweet children
I will open the door,
and give you my eyes 
so that you may see the majestic painting of air
And gorge yourselves on the fruits of nothing
And drink from the fountain of lies,
Lying, naked, in the flowerbed of happiness,
The sun burning away the shadows of meaning

For the sweet fruits will never answer your hunger
For the thickened liquor shall never quench your thirst
and the flowers will bloom not so oft as the prophesy foretold,
But do not despair my sweet children,
For the light will only grow brighter 
and occasionally the ground will open up,
and the clear waters of truth,
will pollute the rivers of mud.
