Conspiracy: enter but don't
"behold" he says "a pale horse comes"
let us go into the mind,
in where the primal fears of man: the unknown,
unsure of the play in force,
by who really tarries the strings,
in Eden's puppetry a dance the beauty of the fruit,
held out to eat and see as gods.
many claim our sins to be done in secret,
because the bones haven't yet shown that light,
but in points declared so long ago,
and what of this thinking shall we make:
for ridicule, doubt and scorn,
let your ears be deaf to the cries,
but your eyes see our symbols,
which we undress,
like a woman's knickers,
right before your eyes,
ooo that feeling in your spine,
the hairs which tickle,
indeed you know its there,
in your mind,
the chance,
it is
all
true.
