Meltdown Messiah.

Stand up and radiate
Enlightenment is fast approaching.
Wealth can no longer be quantified.
Jesus expires from sheer redundancy,
Dragged down to the Underworld
by the weight of his beard
to rejoin the cursed and despised.
An iridescent Lucifer takes his place
in the morning sky.
Celebrity is cowardice;
Twilight is pleasure.
Peel back the scabs-
Let the tears burn smooth your skin.
Those halos are made of Kryptonite,
and the stars are no good unless you eat them.
Heaven fancies itself shadowless,
But you, in your tainted imperfection,
Are an electric eel
Swimming the Milky Way;
A Chinese lantern
atop Mount Olympus;
An atom bomb blast,
scorching the earth
where your feet touch down.

Yes ASHES,
i am just discovering
ur a better riter than Sylvia Plath
i read her diary


i gott into clinical depression
after a financial disaster
did a course in Business Mangement
started a biz venture wid borrowed funds

tried to amke it work for 5 years
then was forced to shut down
too much of positive tinking is bad

losses wud have benn much less
if i had shut down ater 2 years

so i went into depression
slashed my rists and hoped to die

but dunmbass dat i was
i slashed a vein instead of an artery

uno ashes,
woomen are tuffer than men
Maria my wife went back to work
and put me into an assylum
after the failed suicide attempt

went through the works
shock theraphy, etc

after dat i was recommended continual medication
mood drugs
to keep my stable

now i am off medication
tanks to daily church going
and prayer

i still go to church regularly
though i am not a catlik no more

just cudnt agree wid Ratzinger dat gay marriages are evil and dat rock music is evil

heyyyy i am praying for u
u neednt pray

just keep dat humour going
and u will never go into depression again after u come out

and we gonna rock the world
u and i

the sane guys are roaming outside in dis mad world
the geniuses are in

ur going to go places
u gonna be a gr8 man

watever u do
u gonna succeed ASHES
as i have
