i chained my eyes so that i could see

Mind is not Buddha,
Knowledge is not the way.
-Zen saying

Can anyone explain this? The first line seems to discredit the idea of the Buddha nature.

(these are actually tentative lyrics for a song. please let me know what you think.)

why am i demented by these melanoid gems
i see myself in them
there is no fell to shimmy from my blasphemous brush
the chassis takes the tip

clandestine antics are not his no ire
(the argent ate asphyxiate...)
baby, we can ditch the night for real
(as Achilles palpitates)
the ode um cuts loose in pollution,
(where the infra-red rifle relates)
cascading up my heels


I'll give you your name you won't hear it this time
don't try to lull us with your persiflage
prognostications buffet all over again
this ghost takes an aspect with amour prop re

I'll indent your sloop
but would you analyze,
expect or hate me
mr. anthropophaginianite?
wield me masticate me
you iron swathed gent for
i fear the genesis has commenced

One of Nietzsche's four great errors that he describes in his work "Twilight of the Idols"(Which I find much more readable than Zarathustra) is the mistaking the effect for the cause. He makes the following cl.. '"Do this and do that, and don't do this, and then you will be happy." All systems of morality and religion are based upon this one precept.'

...but Nietzsche is getting his own wires crossed here. While I concede that he does know a great deal about the Christian bible, his interpretation of the New Testament is quite flawed. He actually holds the OT in very high regard, even though it is based upon the above precept and it causes many to mistake the effect for the cause. The New Testament, however, makes no such mistake; it claims that followers of Christ should do this and that and not that because they are happy already. Works do not preclude redemption, redemption precludes good works. Christ is the fulfillment of the law, and whoever is in Christ obeys the law without self-effort.

Perhaps Nietzsche should have added to his goal "the revaluation of all values", "the reinterpretation of all interpretations". At least then the so-called Nietzscheans(he probably would have been abhorred at the term) would be inclined do a little more research before agreeing with such assumptions about religion.

emerge in a vat of anti-gravitas
this what it's like to take a lunar stroll
you can dig these holes but i'll never stay put
imbibing the blood from my stigmatic wounds

this sand in my teeth makes the meat lose taste
cast off my limbs to the sea of my stomach
swallow my tongue and finger my eyes
i'll do no wrong when i'm stumped dumb and blind

i am the last
should i sink or just float
exsanguination makes the choice very clear

when i fall
you'll see me on my paws.

when life's too tough
i'll cough it up.

don't get too close,
or feel the poke.

leave me be
and i'll find my own means.

red floats away.
red: numbs the pain.

hairline fracture:
hard to see
until you bend me.

ghost in the arch:
headlight eyes:
blinking for my hazards.

i wanna be touched.

i sink and drink all the bugs and poisons
but you'll never see me
only what i dream.

I have a job interview tomorrow. Please pray that if it is God's will, that I will get the position.

Please pray that I will find a new job in my field with equal or better pay soon. I have been screwed over again and it's beginning to affect my mental health.

inhaling brown liquid
i decided to burn leaves.
she drowned before she could catch the apple.
her teeth were poison anyway.

vigil lit through orifi.
my skeleton is warm.
detach and float down to me.
i'm loving this everyday.

Haha.

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone who's been praying for my brother and I. Our apartment complex is not being converted to a section 8 and our lease is still until February. I have never been so relieved in my life.

Oh, and I don't have to quit my job. My company is only outsourcing new jobs, not current ones.
