Something Sacred

I searched for something

sacred

I went out into the streets

Trawled through nameless bus

stations

And tram termini

 Got moved on for reciting
poetry

In sterile 24/7 atriums

By the hypnotised shopping elite

 I searched for something
sacred

I screamed at the masses, questioned whether

they were truly alive

Got branded a crank

Got spat on by the mindless electric
hubble

Raised myself up, got knocked

back down

Never gave up
 I searched for something
sacred

Thought the answer lay

in booze

Drank and then puked up

all I'd ever

Learned

Ordered some drugs

 Moved casually onto sex

Kept telling myself I needed

the buzz

Looked

for
God

In apocalyptic cappuccino
visions

Made my home amongst amnesiac

nefilim freaks
I searched for something
sacred

I travelled many miles

Wasting countless
Lifetimes
Revering the flesh

Promising to do better

To try harder
 I searched for something
sacred

Electric tears In blind motels With imposter prophets And burning codes
of loveless doomsday jigsaw gas
 I searched for something
sacred

I took a deep breath, held

Stepped delicately out of time

 Then exhaled and lost it

Fell back down

Never searched
again

Never hoped or forced it

Just sat back and waited

 I searched for something
sacred

[End]
