Terra Cognita Part 3

3.
Let me say this again

      To know is not to hold.
      To hold is to release.
      No hands can close on any light,
      nor any light illumine
      what lurks behind your brow.

      Look close, look deep within.
      There is only dark on deeper dark.
      It is obvious. Manifest.
      You are but purposeless matter.
      It is not one. Never one.

      Always it is always,
      now and forever, Zero.
      Your inventions, holy icons
      and philosophies of air,
      will not avail you.

      The machete hacking the child
      into chunks of screaming meat
      is the actual, is the real.
      And this sweet lust lives deep in you.
      without meaning, memory, or care.

      And you know this to be true.
