"Disce quasi semper victurus;

vive quasi cras moriturus"

[Learn as if you were going to live forever;

live as if you were going to die tomorrow.]

. come shadow soldiers .

frequency
By: otep

this
place
called
home

barren
and subtle

on fire
with insects
and laughter

breeding the disease

tempting the eyes
with ears and throat

burning
the hate
away

a name
By: otep

a name
of pain

frequent & clear
-- touched by nostalgia

shaving
away the
years

unable
to leave
this dark heart
amusement park

in
my
hed

oh fellow
come

fellow try

fellow soon
be dead ......

-- ewe sea?

i have
finally
escaped
yor fingers
of tyranny

a world
of new
beginnings

of beautiful
strangers
dancing in the dust

powerful frendz
of a forgotten empire

freezing the traffic
the white vans of conformity

pain, and joy
parental gunfire
prison escapes

leaving the scene
of the accident

in combat jackets
and old blue jeans

working the world
to change the orbit

with love
and creation
and pure, consecrated aggression

let me explain
just give me a chance
a moment
a pause
to reflect
to review

the revelations
the prophecies
the challenges
the difficulties

the message
the frequency
-- coming in clear?
-- full of static?

logging every
scratch, cut, bruise

nevermind.

my world is my own
my wurdz are my own

this is poetry
this is power
this is immortal
-- beyond forever

without fear
without need
to justify
or explain

why i do this?
why i broke that?
why i embrace the face of pain?

"i've got a fever of the mind
i've got weaponry to break your spine
i'm intelligent, poetic, dangerous,
a womyn ...
and i . am . alive"

this is my fire sermon
my serial addiction
unafraid, ready to attack

u want war?
u doubt me?
here i stand.

... thots & jaw
ready for combat.
