Esthero :

Oh ahhhh oooh

Saul williams :

Children of the night

Only some will star the sky

Only believers in death will die

And fathers must feather the wings of women

For the unfeathered masses dangle ridiculous

Carrying crosses to phalayx filled tombs

The future sells silence through blood rivered wombs

That ripple with riddles of cows and spoons and births

Moons and earths

Sun-centered at noon

Esthero :

Now....

Saul williams :

And here i stand

Court jestering infinity

Fetal fisted for revolution

But open hands birth humility

Now what you the density of an egoless planet?

Must my spine be aligned to sprout wings?

I'm slouched into sling steps and kangoled with gang reps

But my orbit rainbows saturn rings

Mystical eliptical

Presto polaris

Karmic flamed future when saturns and aries

And now i'm a fish called father

With gills type dizzy

Blowing liquid lullabies through the spine of time

I'm certain of saturns rivers and all else is fact

So baptise me in the stars

And wrap me in nighttime

Moon blue

Pupil my sight with orange balls of light

And echo my plight

Through the corridors of metaphor

What else are we living for if not to create

Fiction and rhyme?

My purpose is to make my soul

Rhyme with my

mind over matter

Minds create matter

minds create fiction

As a matter of fact

As if matter were fact

Matter is fact

So spirit must be fiction

Science fiction

Art fiction meta fiction

Esthero :

Now

Saul williams :

The tao of now

Is here amongst the living in the voice of children is the tao of now

Esthero :

You are the divine reflection of this earth

She does not belong to you

No there is no need for your correction

All rivers run in the same direction

Saul williams :

If you're serving the father theres no son without mother

Parent bodies discover

water bodies and drown

Wade me in the water

'Til atlantis is found

On the sea floors of self

I'm starfish and unbound

Heard that name of that mound is stone mountain

Underwater volcanoes erupt

water fountains of youth

Let's us carnal the equation, cancel out wind and truth

Swirl me beyond sometimes

Drench me water proof

Let eve drop forever

rain sunsets on my roof

As i sit on the front porch of my sanity

Deciphering hambones to van gogh this vanity

Oiled egos

Canvased and framed

To be reborn unborn unburied unnamed

A reflection through a blood stained glass window

Of souls gone yellow around the edges

Esthero :

There is a monster living

It's the voice of children

It is the tao of now

Saul williams :

Carbonated dreams and blurred daily lives

But let family bring focus

Out of swamps blossom lotus

The muddy water blue daughters of infinity

Gravity we water bodied bhodisativas our serenity

As we rise with the tides toward divinity

Esthero :

Now...

There is a monster living its in the voice of children

It is the tao of now

Saul williams :

Yes we rise with the tides towards divinity

The muddy water blue daughters of infinity

Gravity we water bodied bhodisativas our serenity

As we rise with the tides toward divinity....

Yes we rise with the tides towards diviinty

Yes we rise with the tides towards divinity

Now we rise with the tides towards divinity

And we rise with the tides towards divinity

'Cause we rise with the tides towards divinity

Esthero :

Now...

Saul williams :

The tao of now

Is here amongst the living in the voice of children is the tao of now

Esthero :

There is a monster living it's in the voice of children

It is the tao of now
