إلى الأبد غودنيت

Affirmed is the death of attraction.
Once more
I find myself
Once more
Questioning my purpose.

I wonder if I did the best I could.
I am loyal.
I could always be there.
But deny my dreams.
And curse my ways.

انا اعطي لكم جميعا ، وكل ما قدم لك وأنت
وحدك. لقد دفعت نفسي الى الابد نحو لكم مع أفضل
النوايا ، والتظلم ورثاء أصدقائي فقط في هذه
الخدمة. غودنيت إلى الأبد ، وأنا لن يكون أفضل ، وأنا
لن يخضع ابدا ، لانك انت بارد ودون خفة دم بنفسك.

Now I do not question my purpose.
Now I do not hold on.

Master,
How loyal can a starving dog be?

Vice

You are just starting in Islam, yes?
You must read the books.
And with that I hurriedly forced my pained feet
Into my sandals
And escaped the slowly filling mosque.

For sake
And charm
Of religious piety
I found myself in
Want or
Need
Of their harmounious gaiety.
For despite the difficulty
Or hardship
One must endure,
These actions
Are taken
By millions abroad.
So this what I conjecture
Despite the incredulity
And allusions to Paradise
Or a pit of burning fire,
It seems to me that
Obidience so practiced
Is itself
A vice desire.

A Fine And Delicate Balance

In lieu of a traitor, is hard to bear
When he is you
And you are him.
Boiling an orange is a sin
Again.
And he doesn't know what he'd do without her.
And she lives by him too.

And so are they living proof?
That love can exist for our sodden generation?

Because they are fickle
And they are false
And I would fuck things
That would repulse
These narrow minded
Ration fed
In spite of everything
Doe eyed, dumb
Easily wed.

That something that is anything
To grow out of nothing
And be awarded to people
Here and there
Willy Nilly
Higgeldy Piggeldy
Begs a formulae

And so I say
Remember to all
Just this one thing
That all things may neither
Tip
Nor
Fall
But remain
As best they can
In a fine
And delicate
Balance.
