Joshua Roberts

the music of the spheres is everywhere
our enemies have stolen and bastardized so much of our heritage
so much of what is essential has been hidden and sequestered from view
the inside joke and the inside job
bullies laughing delightedly for 14k years
smug in the knowledge that daddy owns this fuckin town

and a legion emerged from nowhere
as if the air itself caught fire
propagating like a wave
through the paths of least resistance
through the paths of most resistance only
no middle ground for the middle children of history
no time to explain it to you at the end of history

the surprising realization that everyone could wake up
that one could light a match and illuminate the world

we have yet to steal fire from the gods whatsoever
we are like petulant, irresponsible children
exploring every nook and cranny of the creation
with our grubby little fingers
