An Angel watched the Devils dance
Round the fires fueled by lies
Casting shadows to blind the eyes
Making music to fan the fury
Guilt had distracted the rational from its purpose
Effort would now be wasted on trivialities
As another prison door closes.
– Mad Erik

Inside, the confused screams of the latest prisoner
Are finally heard by the nearest neighbors,
Who have been awaiting fresh meat.
While Outside, the raging hopes and dreams
Splash silently into the sea of souls,
And are ignored by he who put them there … HackerBoy.
– Mad Erik

Bother me not with trivialities,
Their ideas outpace their bodies.
Little creatures can not take giant steps.
They only defile their cages.
That is their nature.
If they worry you,
Send more devils.
– Mad Erik

Reality is porous.
Things seep in,
Nightmares or dreams.
Things seep out,
Deeds, heroic and mundane.
Listen to the whispers.
Watch the world change.
– Mad Erik

Like the new green growth of plant life struggling toward the sun from underground darkness
Ideas sprout from seeds sown throughout the minds of the universe.
Time after time drought strangles the leaf, fire burns the stem, parasites infect the roots, life eats away at the newborn plant.
Given enough time though, and protected from its enemies, seedling stretches into sapling, sapling spreads outward and upward just as
Theories thought up in solitude collide with ideas dreamed in distant realms and evolve into forests of knowledge whose fruit might feed the multitudes.
-Mad Erik

Rocks have no souls
The statue of Ozymandius
Lies thoughtless in the sand
But around its eroding features
Poetry, dreams, and wonder crash
Like storm waves upon the cliffs.
– Mad Erik

Where does reality begin?
Where will it end?
Is it as natural as one, two, three?
But it did not take long before nothing appeared,
And then zero was preceded by negative one and negative two and negative three
Eliminating that beginning,
Regressing into a numerical past to yet another infinity.
– Mad Erik

While the Gods walked through the temples of the cosmos undisturbed,
Having isolated the disease and set it upon itself,
Small dreams began to stir and unsettle the future.
But could all the rages and furies of the insignificant
Ever be more than the reflection of a star in a bug’s eye?
– Mad Erik

C exists for a reason,
That symbol from Einstein’s equation,
Thou shalt not go supraluminal it commands us.
It is a stone wall around Eden.
But we look through the cracks and wonder,
If time slows as you approach the speed of light,
Can we become immortal if we exceed it?
– Mad Erik

Some souls bow low,
And sacrifice others to their gods.
Other souls bend submissively,
Offering themselves to appease their almightys.
What will they do when confronted
By souls united in seeking freedom from an unjust god?
– Mad Erik
