Be quiet deepest secretsimmer me sin
simmer within
the tundra of your whispers
the field of aborted dreams
when can it be real?
if truth be as lies
if lies be as truth
the countless efforts for sanity
are persistent assaults to rationality
vanity's lullabies
has been singing
i have been done
i am none
too late for rescue
simmer me sin
simmer within
Be quiet deepest secret
life is a sleep
What could not be sin? That which cannot be seen?
Downward thrust to the heart's deepest dungeons of pleasure. Pounding and pounding desires with aggression like powdering stolen wheat. Stolen from the truth. Stolen bread is sweet. Stolen water is sweeter.
All these speak from the back of every mind. Hidden from the innocent.
to hell has gone
my thoughts are one
with heaven
but in this world
my heart has bled
for the decision
that i have to think
with the back of my mind
that looks at tears
as a drivel of pleasure

why are secrets connected to sin?
and why are deepest thoughts related to violence? is man intrinsically evil then?
>>why are secrets connected to sin?
if you remember it well, in the bible, the story of the origin of sin? adam and eve. they ate that fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil? the first effect of disobeying God is the death of innocence. and at that moment too, what they did was to dress up. they looked for leaves that would cover their nakedness. the analogy that i want to draw from that is, the death of innocence is the beggining of the possibility of committing sin because of our awareness of it and relative to that is the shame that people (sane people) feel after doing what is against the norm. thus the secrets. that's why i think transparency of character is a necessity. living a shaded character, a double standard life means that you hide that which is shameful in the context of social norms. and what you dont want other people to know is usually a sinful indulgence. literally. (and why is my next thought about ice cream?)
>>and why are deepest thoughts related to violence?
im thinking of, man is naturally barbaric but i dont want to go to conclusions. no dead ends. we may always take violence as something physical. but what hurts more is "mind-killing", which is fear, insecurities and those that are tied up with them. the brain and the heart (metaphorically?) are both entrances and exits. they are the windows and doors of this material world, to and fro our soul. and from the soul exits our deeds, the drawings on our faces, the reactions that we do in a certain situation.
for we all but wage war to ourseleves most of the time. we dont battle with swords and shields but there is conflict in our souls everyday. most of it is the you versus you. i hope im making sense. :)
>>is man intrinsically evil then?
this question is rooted on whatever you believe in. reading your question is like watching dogma again. :) (and i cant believe that god was represented by alanis, crazy)i hope to cite sources for all my blabber here. but i am intrinsically lazy.
all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. somewhere in the epistle of paul to the romans. i am reacting like this coz i am confident we both look in the same book - bible. sin = evil? does that equate enough? unless you have any other meaning of evil. you can base it on conscience, we will all be judge by conscience anyway.
