Poem: "Divide- -Unite- -Crucify" by Jeremy Void

"Divide- -Unite- -Crucify"

Is rejection a form of
cynicism
or perhaps is
acceptance an
insidious practice
We live in such an
insipid culture
where the truth is
whitewashed
the answers we seek
sterilized by
mass-
consumptionism
The prior function of
human anatomy
or should I say
parasitic
compositions
is to waste away
our number one prerogative
Follow the Leader
Join the In-Crowd
Dismiss the Out
Find Someone Better
to Idolize
another futile thoughtform
another useless ideation
Search for Meaning
in a Meaningless Paradise
Disciples of the Third Reich
Disciples of the Ones Who
Fight Kill and Die
Descendants
defending
elemental
melodies
mentally
descending
menacing
lemmings
of a wanton assembly
assemble and divide
brandishing this thing and that
seeing the world through
layers of distortion
through
tele
vision
Diminish the wisdom
of
our infinitely brilliant
predecessors
fatalist preachers
nihilist teachers
forfeiting a lordly burden to
the mindless breeders
breeding ideas that reek of
futility and
shame
Don’t you forget we live in
a free country
harboring ideas designed for
a free world
a world leaking cretins & freaks
creeps geeks and systematic sheep
The shepherd has died
tonight
prematurely
death to a deadhead
a less than human defendant
defending territory
of a battered Catholic rambling
bringing nothing but sheepish
idiosyncrasies to a bleakish
nothingness
I see a televised
Nightmare
realism seen through an insipid
screen
I watch a screaming past
careen through the blackened sky
The future is dying by
moonlight
Steal the stars from the
fiery night
Blow up the sun
and watch as everyone
decides
Decide to do something
anything
vote pick choose
take sides
divide divide divide
no surrender
show no mercy
fight until you win
Deliberately destructive
Wage war
wage war on the
fascist hatemongers
shoot an anarchist in the
back
Tear up the American flag
Rebuild a burning nation
from the ground up
Discerning I learn to relearn
to relearn to relearn
to relearn to
turn the other cheek
on all the violence
and the in-fighting
and let the politicians
and the political activists
and the preachers and the protesters
and the picketers and the
witches and the Christians and the
hipsters and the trumpster elitists
and the phony women and the
lonely men
of an unfolding culture
fight and kill each other
and maybe then
the undivided, undecided
king will rise
No sides
Fuck the left fuck the right
No sides
Only self-righteous assholes divide
No sides
Ride the tides until you die
No sides
Mount the tumultuous catalyst
Listen to the sounds of
hollow warfare
and sooner the anarchist is
crucified///
