Every single day
The sun is disturbing the restless beast
That lives inside my head
Burnt Norton (T. S. Eliot‘s Four Quartets)
I
Time present and time past
Are both perhaps present in time future
And time future contained in time past
If all time is eternally present
All time is unredeemable
What might have been is an abstraction
Remaining a perpetual possibility
Only in a world of speculation.
What might have been and what has been
Point to one end, which is always present.
Footfalls echo in the memory
Down the passage which we did not take
Towards the door we never opened
Into the rose-garden. My words echo
Thus, in your mind.
But to what purpose
Disturbing the dust on a bowl of rose-leaves
I do not know.
Other echoes
Inhabit in the garden. Shall we follow?
Quick, said the bird, find them, find them,
Round the corner. Through the first gate,
Into our first world, shall we follow
The deception of the thrush? Into our first world.
There they were, dignified, invisible,
Moving without pressure, over the dead leaves,
In the autumn heat, through the vibrant air,
And the bird called, in response to
The unheard music hidden in the shrubbery
And the unseen eyebeam crossed,
For the roses
Had the look of flowers that are looked at…

God is dead
The ruler is dead
Nothing compares to the fire of will of the wicked man
Such as he has become
Through ages of depression
And endless years of regrets
The death of martyr jesus christ is not enough
For his liberation
As he saw the world the wicked man
Through the eyes of those
Who were not treacherous enough
To gain the filth and the shame of mankind
God is dead
The ruler is dead
Fear the wicked man
As nothing compares to the fire of will of the wicked man

Blinded by fear, you wish to be kind
But the world is on fire
Walk the stairs
For nothing
Pretending you don’t care
That all is vacant and dead
Walk the stairs
For nothing
Pretending you don’t care
That those who fail
Are imprisoned in a world of deceit
You’ll fall
The sound of your doom will crumble
Burnt Norton (T. S. Eliot‘s Four Quartets)
III
Here is a place of disaffection
Time before and time after
In a dim light: neither daylight
Investing form with lucid stillness
Turning shadow into transient beauty
With slow rotation suggesting permanence
Nor darkness to purify the soul
Emptying the sensual with deprivation
Cleansing affection from the temporal.
Neither plenitude nor vacancy. Only a flicker
Over the strained time-ridden faces
Distracted from distraction by distraction
Filled with fancies and empty of meaning Tumid apathy with no concentration
Men and bits of paper,
Whirled by the cold wind
That blows before and after time…
…Descent lower, descent only
Into the world of perpetual solitude,
World not world, but that which is not world,
Internal darkness, deprivation
And destitution of all property,
Desiccation of the world of sense,
Evacuation of the world of fancy,
Inoperancy of the world of spirit;
This is the one way…

Reborn Through the Ashes

A wind of pain and cold
Strikes on those who fail to breathe
Their faces turning so cruel
Their eyes project a soul so fragile
Little Gidding (T. S. Eliot’s Four Quartets)
III
There are three conditions which often look alike
Yet differ completely, flourish in the same hedgerow:
Attachment to self and to things and to persons,
Detachment
From self and from things and from persons;
And growing between them, indifference
Which resembles the others as death resembles life,
Being between two lives-un-flowering, between
The live and the dead nettle.
This is the use of memory:
For liberation – not less of love
But expanding
Of love beyond desire,
And so liberation
From the future as well as the past.
The air of the civilized world is sick and cruel
Filled with mass consumerism’s poison
Strangers in these lands
With power superior to any wasted sense
Help us destroy and burn down our cities
And false social laws
And reborn through the ashes
