Waging War (Politics Aside)


Wage war on yourself,
Pull the temple down on your head,
Those who don't get dragged through the mud don't appreciate what they have,
Those who are born to a Christ never understand what it is to believe in a Christ,
Wage war on yourself,
Pull the temple down on your head,
Those who are self- sufficient and who are also selfish beget cancerous thoughts,
Those who are wicked are lost to their frenzy,
Wage war on yourself,
Pull the Temple down on your head,
Consider yourself absurd and ugly for just one moment,
and then make peace with it,
Believe in something that no one dares,
And that everyone despises,
make it work,
Love the ugly, cripple child that you are,
look at it and confess your undying devotion,
And then wage all out unceasing war on yourself,
that is what love for yourself is.
That is where you learn to sweat blood and be sick for your passions.
Only then does your life have meaning.
