Passing through these shifting queues unmoored within the madness.

All facades i see are but a ruse, to hide the truth of sadness.

Its tragic.

Every armored citizen is guarded

Trying to force external symmetry

With thinking that's lethargic.

You can't modify a mechanism altering the software,

Every form an adaptation meant to help you make it somewhere.

Yet philosophy that's formed of insecurity and hatred

Make these cretins all evangelize about its proper places.

You should face it you're a basic necrotizing organism

Who began to be consumed the moment that you started living.

I am giving you a sermon from the layers of the ages,

Delivered in a sequence from the minds of all the mages.

Brains in cages but I'm bringing you into illumination

I can crush the lies, disperse the spell of mass indoctrination.

If you cease the quest to seek out all external validation

You will no longer concern yourself with place in social stations.

Through divination i can patch you into otherworldly places

Introduce you to immortals

Let you see the face of greatness.

Shed the cell you call the self and you can shift into the phases

See dimensions spread in multitudes an endless sea of places.

Awaken.

All the zombified are marching to the key of mass oppression,

Sermonizing tolerance while hatreds their obsession.

It's a lesson in linguistics, double-speak and hidden missives

You could see the sea of falsehood if you choose to truly listen.

So my mission is to break the spell and open up your minds

Exiting this hell you'll be surprised at what you find.

Our potential is unending, you are ceaseless in your access.

If you want eternal secrets just stay tuned for masterclasses.

— Ace Rey. From The Book of Souls, a first collection in progress.
