A Holey Man

By Vexen Crabtree 2002 Oct 03

1.	In the fields history sows seeds Everything I have ever known The Jinn yield to all of our needs is gone

2.	Hollow man I can defeat myself if I become A hollow man

3.	War on yourself to exorcise All of the passions I have known Darkness shelved embrace the skies have passed

4.	Hollow man My desires are holy only when I'm A hollow man

5.	I cast primeval thoughts aside Humanity becomes unknown Not facing evil within, I hide to me

6.	Heartless man I can defeat my evil if I am A heartless man

7.	I will not reep my own rewards All of my past is now unknown To be a sheep to be the Lord's and dead

8.	Heartless man My desires do not tempt me I am Now A lifeless man

A diatribe against abstinence, asceticism and those who seek to attain that Good Guy Badge.

Separating self into good and evil, then striving for good in order to nullify Earthly or primeval feelings is only successful if you turn yourself into a hollow, empty person with no desire or passion. Failure to accept our (demonic/carnal/evil) nature when we reject our own history/seeds means we will never reap the rewards of our life.
