The New Holocaust

By Christopher E. Rangel
3/8/08


History was rewritten in the dark ages
We live again.
Torn out pages, scripted sages
Contorting the flow of the modern ages.
A medieval tunnel whose walls collapse
Entombed within an alternate past
Ancient secrets, Unholy sequence
Inverted tower, Concentrates power
Now is the hour of the poisoned flower
Heavily guarded by the misguided
And the malcontent
Natural born patriot
From the land of hypocrites
Keeping the cycle incomplete
History will not repeat

At the edge of time
Waters fill the mind
Wisdom from the sky
The truth wrapped up in lies
And now we know why
They keep us in darkness so we can’t see
Yet the brilliant flames light up the burning city
See them hording hidden knowledge of the true wealth
Poisoning the mainstream afflicting our health

Through it all we keep our spirit
There is a rally cry the whole world hears it
The Battle of the mind and of the spirit
Be true to yourself and never fear it
And as you near it the end you steer it
In the end this is the end.

People have been turned into commodities
The projectors convey paradigms of social order
Passive populous absorbing stereotypical roles
Type Alpha to Omega
2D role models, templates of behavior
The electrical hum a lullaby
The Vibrations set our pace
Marching in step
Tampered seeds for profit
Altered ancient codes
Chimera unleashed into the life flow
Anomalous blossom, aberrant seed blooming within
Accepted with ignorance
Denied with fear
Defended with force
The mold injected
Humanity indistinguishable from the machine
A Composite creation of secondhand ideals
As empty and contradictory, antiquated and archaic
As the cumbersome words used to define them
Attaching themselves to the indefinable, indefinite, infinite
Mutant vines
Prickly Fingers methodically extending their reach
Ever grasping for the sun
Greedily putting us in the shade of ignorance suffocating nature,
Exponentially invading the biosphere
Hybrid Experiment, poisoning our sustenance
Breaching our development,
Successive generations progressively contaminated

Geometric Chain, Occluded instructions,
Programmed reality has been making me
Televised, mesmerized, quantified, mollified
So now I know there is no turning back
The illusion has cracked

The apex of life as all lines converge,
The crux of all events as space-time and matter merge
The new sun rises, where the new sky is
Modified Helix, the Apex Zenith, the River Styx, the Sphinx and the Phoenix
The poisoned fields burned as the changing tides turned
From all that we learned
And all that we burned
No more will burn
No more will burn

At the edge of time
Blueprints of the vine
Engineered Decline
Words come undefined

Don't let them take your mind

The birds lined up like mighty angels
They sing my thoughts
For all the souls lost in the new holocaust
