No Wonders In Me

The art of Nik Christensen.


One Response to “No Wonders In Me”

Hey,
I am searching for the pieces to a puzzle that I’m birthing. Today’s lead was “No Wonders”and when I typed it in to the google I arrived here. The third art piece above struck me as something I had written before and so I thought I’d send it.

THE TROGS

Time has brought forth, the offspring of our schism
Reason divorced from Spirit, breeds alone in this world
Overcome with selfish indulgence, he slew his softer half
Goodness is now greed, and beauty is now power
Lost is the conscience on the road to prosperity
Oh! that you could see where your unfaithfulness carries!
Devolving your posterity in to creatures of darkness
Youth raised on vices where virtues once nurtured
Ties that once comforted now severed and broken
Enslaved to the urges of the flesh and the mind
Stand the offspring of Reason that the Spirit knows not

Golems of darkness impervious to the light
Overcome by the machinations of reason so cold
Ravaging earth’s plenty, mindless locusts thus feed
Gone is restraint, in spite of its need
In desperation some cry, “Where is my Spirit!
No more of this Reason for Reason is not enough!”
Grace then arrives to the soul that has quickened
