Meditating Mantis

Noises torture the ones who want to be healed
Craving the serenity of the naked mantis
Sound bubbles of obscenity,
Bursting in your ears
Over thinking the world
Redefining fear 

Bite your tongue
Or forget that you have one
Redeem you'r inhumanity
Alter your senses

Remove yourself from complication
We are the ones who hold ourselves back
Extend your antenna to the universe 
Transmissions of ever shifting emotion

 

The watchful eye of the gate keeper
Sees you in the back of it's head
Don't be late
(A cold blade is held to your throat, hugging your jugular)
With ropes you've been tied to the window frame
The red, paint like blood, 
Stains your view of the passing days
(Its tongue is meant for tasting your face)
The Air conditioner's broken
Sweat drips your fat away
(Your eyes were removed and placed in a coffee can)
Pushing on your chest
The gate keeper simulates your breath
You must stay awake
Forever
(It drives the blade into your abdomen)
The ropes that once held you in place have now been cut,
Yet your frozen in that same toy doll pose
Bleeding
In a flawless posture
Praying Mantis
