Sacred Spice

To Kimi, whose troubled thoughts I twisted.

When I refuse to go
I refused to go to their ritual of perpetual shouting.
Their incessant plea to the skies on sunny days
Where their Redeemer sits up looking down
Beards unkempt, presiding over rotten life -
Himself pure.

But I refuse to join the mad shouts
Let the Old Man pour pepper
Into my eyes; I shall lay it open
Never blinking

When I refuse to go
It is because of fear for my own madness
