Ashton Nyte

she met him in a darkened room
he had issues with the light
his hair combed back from his face
his jacket pulled on tight
shed never thought of faith
he took her arm and he took her thoughts
and with a look of gentle grace said "follow me"
away from this whorish noise
away from philistine
they walked through the radium fields
the salt, the shore, the brine (he said)
"ill show you where to start
ill show you how to cry
dont judge the weaker men
dont wallow in your pride, just follow me"
she said "everyone has a borrowed opinion
everybodys read a book
the science of discrimination
and i dont need another pagan ritual
ive seen lord of the rings
dont give me self-realization
or oprahs pick of the week"
"and i dont feel much for politics
im not into black comedy
give me the fundamentals"
he smiled once moe and said "follow me"
weve learned to shake the system
so well that weve become
another system bent on shaking
all that has been done
im so tired of being told
about enlightment inside
if god was contained within us
hey what about suicide?
show me a celestial force
content with being raped
show me that inner power
happy to be maimed
ive set my sights on something
something bigger than myself
"were all fucked up in some way
we all could use some help, so follow me"
