CHAPTER ONE 



through suffering

my existence is made whole

upward pure

the strength of character is raised

thorns that lead to a rose

eradicate the fences

improving from failures that weaken my defenses

wake up

and overcome

inhale the life

this blood of one

dust of the earth

can a man walk through the furnace

without garments being burned? 



CHAPTER TWO 



deviate the senses spawned

i see the calm rivers and i'm searching for dawn

my perception overwhelming the herds

spit them out

drowning tides that perverse

opposite from my reaction, the disasters absurd

and the things of no form despise

and the things of no form deprive

early morning darkness

splitting veins from the wrist

who will be the farthest?

separate the districts

what?

what's your state of mind?

what's your state of life?

what's your take on death?

do you speak words of the masses?

if so, your throat is bottomless 



CHAPTER THREE 



observe the turning points that threaten to respond

defend

seeds that struggle tom come into fruition

unripened

this inner being

a consuming fire

that spills from the mouth

a foundation desired

at one with the elements 



CHAPTER FOUR 



stable

ground with no illusions

streamline

speech with no pollution

appealing to the gestures

altering the momentum with natural selection 



CHAPTER FIVE 



feasting on the blemishes congested

kerosene

acidic smile perfected

pours

phlegm induced pours

down flow infected 



CHAPTER SEVEN 



lyrics by Carley COMA 



CHAPTER EIGHT 



running against the tides

swell

swallowed whole

spewing the venom of snakes from their nostrils

arms that fold

detestable

secret practices

false

doctrines that mold
