The Divide
Newton took it all wrong
When that apple dropped
The same sweet, deadly orb
That dug Eve’s grave
One sunny day in Paradise
One small misprint
And all the Kings men
Have been running backward
Ever since
And the clock strikes everywhere but now
In Babylon’s flea market
Logic's legacy
Lays waste to more
Than just the moon
Or mother’s milk
It took the light from our mouths
And left us stoned, and silent
Like lambs who lead themselves
To a sleep far worse
Than slaughter
Damn you, Descartes
With your wooden tools
Of duality
You have joined the hunt
For the last free rainbow
Not trapped in glass
What madness made you thus
What secret fear
Fed your musings
When you drove a wedge
Between the children
And the sky
Small surprise how quick they came
Your henchmen
Heel snapped and hands raised
In allegiance to the lie
The gates were down, and science
Like an evil clown
Led us ever further from the red clay
Of our birth
With cathode eyes that blinked
With the mirth of madmen
Ah, Einstein
You should have never set your violin down
They took your lightening
And traded it for tickets
To the last show on earth
Front row seats with Mephistopheles
Perhaps you still fiddle
Near the flames
Of an unknown Rome
And Sorry won’t help
Now that we’re ass backwards
In the streetcar of desire
Strapped in and sold out
To the lowest bid
Of a broken atom
Oh, you sad and greedy sailors
Down and out in Sodom
You were seduced long before
This bloody sunset
Yes, you, and all your legions
Of the well behaved
Are only paying the debt of division
The price of praying to a God
Divorced from green rivers
And wine
You thinkers, high on your throne
Your vanity has killed us all
We should have fed you to the wolves
Long before your tongues tricked us
Before we could believe
We were any different than the dirt
Forgive use, Father Time
We forgot your words
Forgive us, Gaia
For we have given you away
