Pine Mountain to Emerald City (2)

Badlands. They really don't look so bad; plenty of green scrub at least. But at some point someone had to cross this on a wagon, and it probably wasn't wonderful.

You can't really control anything. Someone designed this ride long before we got on. The drops and turns and 360's have been in place for some time now and there's nothing we can do to change them. The only thing I can even think of controlling is my experience of it. And I suppose that's really all that counts. All that exists, maybe.

You're not going to fall out of the wagon. Remember that.

It'll be an adventure.

Shall I go?
all is gone
wretched are the hearts pulsating in my ears
lying are they eyes looking into my face
the symphony is not only frustrating
but out of key
said man walks to the front
said man is the fallen one
said man is celebrated
honored
for nothing more than
lies
it's on now
the final film reel rolling
see sweet the length
25, 920 years long
sliding into the frames to make us famous
no more concern
no more fight
down with no reason
to help you up
oh nation confused
surface people
don't you know that when they are in control
the better it looks
the worse it is truly becoming
Awaken

comparisons/to sacrifice

the essence of a human
water mixed with blood
&
guts
slapped in the skull a brain
the pounding of the heart
as the nerves crouch slightly
at chalkboard fingernails
bone in mouths open wide
preparing to masticate
preparing to assimilate
to introduce something new
into the body
bones wired with veins>br>
so the blood
&
water
can pour into the organs

pulsing in the ear
throbbing in the muscles
as the chewed food digests
&
absorbs
flowing too
providing strength

turn the monitor off
the speakers too
we are done here
let's shut down the CPU
unplug the mouse
&
keyboard
it needs arms no more
nor mouth
nor eyes
nor cooling system

unplug the modem
no need for connection anymore
there's no one to connect to
they've all downloaded themselves
they've left me to live in a virtual world
with virtual friends
&
virtual ideas
virtual rockstars
on virtual dreamscapes
&
reality has been pushed aside
to take the backseat
as in real life they slave and toil
refrigerate themselves at the end of the day
those of us left alone to balance the shift
will
but for unconcerned
brainwashed
idiots
we are never to be honored
our duty is clear
time has proven the reason
these times are giving the call
&
now
we shall answer

Aragon

I can't seem to get this dream I had when I was about 5 years old out of my head
I was moving down the hall of my elementary school
towards the gym
but I noticed I was moving kinda weird
floating...

this dream correlates to another one I has in my teens
but in a different way
I remeber I was trying to punch someone
someone that was trying to cause harm to me
but it was as if I wa underwater

&
then there are the dreams I have had in my 20's
of large robots
lasers firing from their eyes or cannons
&
defeating them with a mirror

then the flying dreams
they felt so real

What is this all about?

ancient words constantly appearing in my head
resurrected in digital realms
interacting with other organic lifeforms through retinas
changing neurochemical activity
forcing me to wonder how they are projected into the now

What force is behind these dreams
these visions
these ideas?

waking from the 1st black
&
white
dream I've ever had
I realize who I have been at least once before
uncanny
or
Is it some form of illusion I am trapped under?
Could this be a joke the ancients are playing on me/us?
something seems wrong here
so underlying wrong that nothing can be done about it

Am I awake now?

Zim says (10:30 AM):
maybe
