The Hippo campus Screams

Location

Raising my arms up to the sky,

only a quaint silhouette against the rampant squealing humans below,

fire blazing at their fingertips consuming the Earth in the name of their God, denying all else,

Empty eyes, empty thoughts of only self importance,

the burning of those who stood against,

And so I stood defiant,

daring their dangerous touch to come near my mind,

A giant figure rose from the wake and pure belief of these people, 

an entity so angry and pointed at my vision of how I see the world,

of how blasphemous I echo the thoughts from my inner most conscientiousness,

I shouted up so the being could hear,

And I said,” Thou art sacred in their eyes! Thou art utterly perfect, a beauty so obvious it cannot be denied by any. The supreme omnipotent being of the Universe, yet your Universe grows only to the bounds of human comprehension. And the comprehension of your worshipers only reach to the existence of themselves and nothing else. They do not think beyond the Earth, up to the sky where the real epiphany of the Awesome resides. Here you tower over me as to frighten me, but I am hold thee not as they. For I have seen your tiny fist shake at the Moon cursing at it for it does not fall under your jurisdiction. I know you cannot comprehend the endless depths of the Cosmos because they cannot. If they did you would not be the image of man, and we not the image of you. I detest thee, I detest the human race as the only existence ever bound to this vast Cosmic organism, and thus I detest the social reality created around you. Blasted effigy I watch you fall to ashes and realize it is not you who burns but myself!”

Burn the Gods of the Human race and set yourselves free from this binding social reality we call what is real!
