Boy, i'll have you know that I'm apt to forget
so if at any time you need to, just click "reset"
that should bring you to a welcome screen
just watch the introductory video and wait for me
if you've seen it three times and i've still not appeared,
whistle "cock-a-dee-dee" and i'll soon be near

Future child you are in front of me
though, I lead the way for you
It is I that have made you. free, child.
but it's your life will make me new, child.

can I wear your eyes today, on my eyes?
can I wear your head today, on my head?
will you see through my lies today, my disguise?
have you ever heard anything I've said?

child, stay on that saddle, child.
don't let go of your paddle. child.
don't be afraid. close your eyes when you need to.
and when you open them child,
I hope the world still looks new.
I hope you don't know that I'm counting on you, child.
* * *
a new life
a new way
a new world

everything is different
nothing is the same

I am the end
and future child
you are the beginning

* * *
oh future child, you've grown too weak

but your hands never get as cold as your feet

* * *
king is still gone
and damn I'm clumsy today
I'm back in the city
looking for forgiveness

why cant I just get the job done?

"I leave the city at night and I slip away
through the bass drum thump and the cymbal jump

Where to? '"I don't know... Somewhere better?
"Where there are hearts in action, and everyone's laughin"

Asleep in my hammock, I drift past memories, past thoughts.
I dream of a white city, where smiles are in surplus,
they wander the streets alone, and happiness searches long for a heart in need
because here we have everything.
You were there of course. yes, me and you, together.
together in the white city, drifting from action to action to reaction and back.
for 17 years we have been covered with a blanket of silence
though I think someone has been lifting one of the corners up,
because every now and then I hear sounds rush in like cold air
I feel sunlight on my skin, the touch of a lover who's been away for too long.

"Boredom is the root of all evil - the despairing refusal to be oneself."

-Søren Kierkegaard


            Modern Age! You, the Age of comfort! The Age of ease! The Age of plenty! Ask me what I want of you, and I will tell you a lie. You have not the ears for my truth. In you, truth has died. You provide for me nothing, you assume what I want, and provide me with that alone, nothing to me. You provide me with everything that I expect of you, but with nothing I need of you. I need nothing of you. You modern Santa Clause! You modern fool! You alone know that you cannot give me what I want. At your best, you barely keep me alive. From your bag of gifts you give me bread and water and just as soon make me forget that I need it. You give without question, and ignore my thanksgiving. For what is thanksgiving to you? You; you who have no heart! You have made the dark forests, once filled with magic, lifeless; you have made them wood and dirt. You would see wood, not tree, not life. You would see gold in the skin of the dragon and silver in the horn of the unicorn. You would fill the walls of museums with thousands of Mona Lisa's, and you would throw out the absurd and the fantastic as though they were a deformed product in your Factory. Modern Age, it is you who serve mammon only, but claim to serve God. Because of your desire for fulfillment, you have given birth to boredom. And He, Boredom, your only son, He will walk the earth and cover all in dullness. He will cleanse you of your pain, but also of your Joy. Joy will be forgotten of you for mere satisfaction.  What need is there to seek Joy? What need is there to seek Love? Love: which you, modern age, would try and erase. For Love is your nemesis, Love is irrational, compassion is chaos, and truth, eternally unraveling, is discord. He, the son of modern thought, shouts! “Seek your Crazy Love no longer, the modern age will provide you with fulfillment”. Fulfillment (the lie), something reasonable, something concrete, the son of Modernity will provide you this, he, the New Christ.

Boredom has put an end to imagination, but out of one fault, which is his alone, we will all retrieve the sword of Creativity from its stone tomb. Creativity is not special, but ultimately unavoidable. Each human hand has the strength to pull it, and each will in turn grasp its bejeweled hilt. This is the sword that we all used in the beginning, to cut ourselves off from The Wholeness that we once were (and in all true senses, still are). This sword, because it holds all the power of creation, once held, will bloom. Flowers will sprout from the tip of its blade! Beauty will be revealed unto the Son of Man. His own heart; your heart exposed, will grow, and its roots will extend deep into the soil and rock, and the earth itself will be cradled in your own loving arms.

I, He, I, She, I, The Breath, I
the living, the lively, the dying, the lost
drink of this cup, eat of this bread
all you lovely, all you lonely
all you children, dance with me
I, You, I, We, I, The Dance, I

Cry out, "Oh, My Lord!"
Cry out to me, and know
that you are my Love.

Child, know that you are my Love.
