I AM AWAKE



I am awake.
The gods i'll woo with the myrrh of my words.
With my bleeding pen Heaven will be upon me.

I am awake!
For gallantly graciously i rise,
In honey-sweet triumphant wails.
My tongue will rain brimestone of blazing truth.
They will hide their face.
Aye they wil hide their face.
Those whose fart pricks the nose of my folks.

I am awake!
To speak the abominable.
To plant seeds in putrid desert.
To be hung.
To change.
For ceaselessly i speak.
He who get burnt let him cut my tongue!
He whose conscience is pricked let him my head feast to the wings.
Aye!i am awake.
To woo gods with my words!
