1. The Advent
(A journey of the heart; an arrival)
A company has risen
to the twenty-fifth floor of a tower
surrounded by the greenest landscape
pink and purple flowers permeate the gaps
between the tall, sturdy, yet wrinkly trees
like tumors growing in the dark-red veins
yet the virgin company, who has not been fornicated
by a conceiver of talent
has been impregnated with a fetus
growing into a sleeping baby
deformed with angelic wings
yet, when the baby was born
everyone who has came into contact with the baby
has experienced a simultaneous death and rebirth
and has been fully healed of sin
while all the burden of guilt has been transferred
into the young soul, painting the white slate
with blackened ink, using a thick, heavy brush
the wrongdoings of man were written down
and archived in the devil's museum
forever remembered by the historian of the world
penning out the birth of a light machine
(A figurative walk in the misty forest)
(Pondering about my role and responsibilities)
(Who am I, but a man searching for answers?)
2. The Light Curtain
(A metaphorical barrier that shields out all despair)
As the baby was held
by the arms of jobless fathers, infertile mothers
all their sons and daughters materialize
out of thin air, as if they were always there
they kissed their fathers and mothers goodbye
as if they have said good morning before
but the presence of their unborn hearts
were sensed only by those who wished for them
yet they were forever barricaded by a curtain of light
as comforting as blanket made of colons
serving as the river separating the hearts of man
from the mind of God
for a cancerous inflammation of greed has been diagnosed
in their blood flow, forever desiring a child
that is perfect, like a God
who is well-mannered to everyone
even when the world is overflowing with hate
but how can man become God
when God is shaped to a resemblance of man
yet man is not shaped to the dreams of God?
