No Absolution
At what point
in your growing awareness
do you cease to be
the unknowing
victim
of soul suffocation,
castration of joy,
and the blinding of
your pure vision
of the world?
When is that moment
that you accept responsibility
for everything
that follows the knowing
you have just
earned,
and stop balancing
on that thin wire
of hypocrisy
that let’s you remain
imprisoned
while you stare at the key
in your hand?
You did not need
forgiveness
before this ability to perceive
became yours,
but now…
the existence of everything
that has finally
come to life inside you
cries out for blood~
and without stepping
outside of yourself,
into yourself,
there will be no
absolution.
