Matthew Edward Peterson (12/21/1983 / Salt Lake City, UT)

there is something growing inside
but before i join you
in malice and content
i shall use words of rapture
and charm
presenting no harm
and before
you set me in your ways
and disregard
i shall raise my sword
to your tongue 
and set fire the trust
you have given me
for man is but a glimpse of what i see
buried in the depths of despair and sickness
a flower shall take growth
and the seed from its stem
shall both destroy and nourish you
and industry will fall
and money will lose its currency
and the rich shall cry
for their castle was built on credit
and the hustlers will cut their
tongue after seeing truth
and the friend will understand friendship
and the ignorant will die
for their minds are incapable
of life, and love, and truth
and all books will burn
forcing the reader to live outside their pages
and the teacher will be silenced
for they are nothing without
the education taught only by a pedastool
and the whores and the fake
will break the mirror they cleave to so tightly
for their pride is nothing more
than a trick they have succomb
and the church,
and the priest,
and the follower 
shall keep praying to the nothingness
and fakely worship
a ghost
they will save themselves
to this worldy document
only to be erased
in their glory of  the dead
and the man who believes
yet runs, will hurt even more
for what they really seek is god
and god will not save them
and all names will be forgotten
and the poor will survive
for they know of outkast
and understand pain
from the knowers
bewarer the knowers
for they know nothing
but teachings from slaves
and all creation shall sit in death
and no one will save them
 
but love
will find rapture
in the blossom of the bud
and in destruction there will be hope
and man wil be ruled by men
of no consequence
and the ignored
for only they
understand the reasons
we never speak of
for they hold no hope
they hold no god
they hold no worth
other than the love they create
in a world shackled and bound
and they will cry into the night for you
and they will love you
and they will save you,
(the ones you held no love for)
for their love comes from within
and not that of an instrument
that creates death in the sun
of your perfect life
these days will come
and when i look into the night
and hold a wish
on my star
i will kiss you from my soul
i will kiss you from my heart
i will kiss you with a warm embrace
and accept our fate
together
as we walk into the shadow
holding hands and saying
begin
