The Call Of The Extremes
(an absurdly boring, seemingly edgy title
that is already oozing with loathing,
add some irony and the package
is complete)

That's it boys, we're already going in deep
as deep as God was inside Virgin Mary
as deep as Mohammed was inside Aisha
as deep as Buddha was inside Siddharta
as deep as your emotional reaction
calling you to action right now
the extremes are calling, you're ready to answer
so ready - I hear your pulse, I feel your anger
honestly, it's getting me hard!
Isn't this what you wanted?
Justification! You're justified!
Boring, really boring!

A complete cacophony of emotions
gathered around the fire
sharing stories as they watch sparks fly
eventually drowning in the next glass
cheers brothers
cheers sisters
cheers fuckers and cunts
thank you for coming at the funeral
where we celebrate the life and death
of the other extreme
of de' other side
of the opposition
of the coalition
of the class of automatons opposing us
of the enemy
of the wrong side of history
of reality, of insanity, normality
an orgasm for you
an orgasm for us
an orgasm for the entire bus
of tourists travelling through
these strange lands
strange times.

Repetition infused with nostalgia
for times much better than this
just like an NPC regurgitating the same lines;
we find glory is eternal
pride welcomed for what's laid to rest
only to be resurrected when it's needed
Ouroboros can suck a dick
as  I poke around with this stick
the nest of wasps that sting me to death
ah shit, I'm dead again
let me just quick-load right back
repeated failure is bound to end up in success
yay!

"Τι όμορφη κατάθεση ψυχής, φίλε."

(What a beautiful soul deposit, friend!)

Thanks, apparently I've managed to integrate
whatever seems to suffocate my soul
into wholesome poetry
or a conversation with myself
or a testament
or a soul deposit to the bank of the void
where I'm sometimes devoid of the right words
only to fuck up everything a little bit more
than necessary.

A better alternative title would be catharsis
something we all instinctively seek,
only to casually dismiss as we all seem to miss
closure -
 It would seem the call of the extremes
 is quite enticing, exciting without a doubt
 a thought for a penny
 a comment for a reply

before we eventually die
only to be reborn
as words meant to inspire
a generation willing
to acknowledge the fire
that sets you free.
