Man vs The Man

Man is a subject; "The Man" is the object [ionable]

Man is subject to his free spirit; "The Man" fears it

Because Man as spirit is infinite capacity;

Passionate yet rational tenacity to pursue veracity

"The Man" is more animal than rational;

His actions capture the soul without rapture,

Making his boundless component

Be taken as his own opponent,

The exponent of which is the etherial

Idolatrous deification of the material,

Making the fear of his own liberty

The energy and force

By which he divorces

From the image of his inception,

Sinning in his conception

Of objective rejection...of the Truth

And introspection is reckoned

To make object the subject of its discourse

And in its course, trying in vain

To make something from nothing til nothing remains

And he's driven insane cause its more nothing

That he's making cause he's taking the tool of the word

Which was meant to be a vessel

But he's treating the means as an end in itself

So that the end of itself simply means

The loss of meaning so that no ends are meeting;

Meaning: our meetings are meaningless, empty, just shells

And we've dumped out the wine trying to drink the cup itself;

The empty word we have for that which once was called "hell"

Has been extracted, not abstracted; got us locked in our cells

We sell ourselves for property

We tell ourselves was probably properly

Our natural right...which may be right,

But supernatural light outshines and consumes, its fire

Illuminates where doom is

Met by the body which we clothe in luxury

When the decaying structures we

Hide behind are finally stripped away...

 

Nothing in our nakedness can cover our shame;

We are not found worthy of earning our name;

We stand graceless until we face this, lest we stand blamed
