there is a shadow that follows
closely behind me
she whispers secrets in my ear
oh the pretty girl speaks
to those only that would hear
light the gold, red, and black
to illuminate the way
give her your gratitude
and these words to say
hear me now saint death
may your words be kind and direct
your scythe swift and precise
your judgement true and fair
oh scythe bearer
protect me from my enemies
-JG
it is not your word
and it is not my word
it has been used forward
to put people backward
now it is their word
so keep your word
to keep it their word
because using that word
stabs like a knife
-JG
i once believed
in a god once told
but just like anything
it got too old
so i took a stand
unfolded my hands
and now i’m god
belief is a useful tool
and faith
was fashioned for the fool
i once was blind
and now i can see
the fucking dissimulation
of christianity
-JG
kill your local child molester
kill your local rapist
kill your local predation investor
kill your local papist
let the churches burn
and the temples crumble down
annihilate religious tradition
and the need for doctrine
enveloped in superstition
relieve yourself from your savior
who couldn’t save himself
responsibility is your own
hypocrisy is theirs
be an iconoclast
be the one who dares
-JG
you can’t create me
you can’t destroy me
you can’t deny me
i am energy
i’m in everything
i’m in nothing
i’m a god you see?
i’m the god you see!
-JG
i do not care about your gods
or their doctrine
they are not mine
and never will be
should i respect them
should i recognize them
should i realize them
no
no
no
it is not my purpose to believe
in the ramblings of
ancient schizophrenia
meth head mystics
and psychonaut nut cases
it is not my purpose to identify
with white knuckled god adorers
it is not my purpose to give homage to ideas so asinine
my purpose
my reason
is to rise above
be my own god
be the übermensch
-JG
a devil in red
is a devil in black
evil is read
to be society’s plaque
satan has saturated the market
and the hipsters took the bait
his symbol represented adversarial thought
but now it is black clothing
upside down crosses
and pewter pentagrams being sought
the power is wasted in those
wishing to learn without being taught
assuming these words aren’t being wasted
assuming this isn’t all for naught
-JG
