I was drawn in by a dramatic interaction between a majestic wolf dog with startling blue eyes and a scruffy Scottish mutt at the entryway of a bar that welcomes Woodstock remnants. 

I knew I chanced running into a character or three and took the chance.  To my surprise,  I was treated to a reading of a poem in the making and a spicy companion conversation with the aspiring young poet – Christian Await featured here.

Lost Lessons of Darkness 

Part 1

Abyssalacra

Darkness

Emanates

Elemental surprise 

Darkness 

Illuminates

The Shadows prize

In fertile soil

Mycellium links

Host for the rhythm Au naturale synchs

From womb to the grave 

The darkness remains

In the tomb

In decay 

The darkness remains

From swords sheath 

To pens cap 

Weaponized words 

Beneath the floors 

Windowless room 

With no doors 

A semblance of 

Reality 

At play upon 

The stage 

Resembling naught but 

An imagination projected 

masquerade

Passive element 

Alternates the current 

Actively seeking 

To compose the circuit 

Lost Lessons of Darkness 

Part 2

DogmaAgmgoD

Misunderstood aspect 

Long shunned 

For its perceived evil

Advantage was taken 

Of this false perception 

To perpetrate petty power dynamics 

By mind controllers 

Book binders 

Mismanagers of card houses 

Lined, as dominoes in cities

Applied knowledge 

Lost to the people

In lieu of the master and slave 

Dichotomy 

The potency of darkness decreased 

in the shadow of light peddlers 

decrees

Opting for heavens promise 

Through virtue of active acceptance

Or for hells inevitability 

Through vice of passive consensus

Mountains of messiahs 

Granting malignant deliverance 

To those who follow 

Words of false prophets 

With thick pockets 

Filled with profits 

The Lost Lessons of Darkness 

Part 3

The Folly of Order Following 

Fools gold from the yellow brick road

Funds the effort of war 

Followed, it leads to a magi of old

Rotten and vampiric to the core

Age old inorganics relax on the 

bones

And viscera of lost generations 

As impressionable young men are 

sent soley to die 

For absolutely no honorable reason

Uneducated dupes 

Falling for the patriot act

Sets the scene for the sensational shit 

show 

Dubious grins 

Cacophonous din

Surrounds the table 

Lose win 

Starting again

The next chapter in the fable 

Laughing and drinking

Tonic and gin

And a little bit of blood 

Of the next kin

Wealth and resources 

Gluttonous hoard 

Subservient armed forces 

Move across the checkerboard 

Peace in the Middle East 

Will be an epic feat 

Of boundary reconciliation 

The fire will cease 

There will be a release 

From the constraint 

Of state politicization 

The prevalent atrocity 

Is the division and conquering 

Of the would be allies 

Be it not for militant violence 

By so called ‘elites’

Against people 

in general 

Worldview schisms 

Figurehead marionette perpetration 

Posturing the world stage 

Unwittingly guided by globalist 

parasites

Hands up assholes

By the same one asshole 

Pressing destructions buttons

Going down the rabbit-K-cash hole

Lost Lessons of Darkness

Part 4

Contrasting Closure 

Darkness 

Shines the light 

On boundaries 

Behind the fight 

Just before the dawn 

Is the darkest of the night 

Darkness 

Remains the same

Retains the frame 

Of reference 

With which it began 

When untamed

It drives insane

The troubled man 

Darkness gives chance 

For light to be seen 

In a different shadow 

Contrasting

Insight unseen

Gives it’s depth to the shallow 

Darkness be honored and graciously 

accepted 

As an integral and necessary aspect 

Of totality 

The companion of light

The day and the night 

Circuit complete in its vitality
