Never touch this dagger of insanity or
The snake of curiosity will let you pass
Through the gates of the book
Darker than the darkest night
Though made of light
Its guardian owls will lead you
Towards the mysteries
You never dreamt you wanted to know
Never taste its words or they’ll crash your vision of our Eden
The Book of Secrets
Rewinds the space and time
Makes us just the Eloi
Trapped in a blue experimental lab
Blind man watched by
A motley interplanetary crowd
I wish I could burn it
And fly like an eagle
Befriended with the wind of blissful
Mindless freedom
In the Apocalypse celebration
Like the Great Inquisitor
I’d caress this Book with flames
That devoured the Knight Templars
I’d murder its chapters
With cruelty of a Spanish conquistador
Right in the pyramid corridors of
Blood-thirsty Tenochtitlan
So our carnival of illusion could
Blossom in the comforting twilight
Reason crawls on its knees
“Please, don’t read it all !”
Faded pages like
Long-dead moths
Wrap me with the visions and images of
Legendary angels, demons
Fairy-tale like insects, reptiles and dwarves
Our prophets fooled by
The astronaut gods
Their technologies and
Tricks of physics
Turned us into faith Morlocks
Ready to destroy
In the name of different gods
The Book of Secrets
The eternity history imprinted by light
If I could, I’d burn it without hesitation
Like a black-clothed
Warrior of the Third Reich
Let me torch this Book with
The Nephilim visions
So they could never be reborn
Incinerated in Sodom and Gomorra
By the nuclear anger of the heavenly force
I’d delete the secret truth about
The pillar of fire and smoke in the sky
That led Moses and killed for the “chosen tribe”
It’s sometimes better to be blind
Like a new-born child
Finally I reach the bitter wisdom epilogue
Its words like wounds
Breed a poisonous desert rose
In the lost wilderness of my soul
Behind the bleeding horizon
Hurt howls
“The walls of Jerusalem are not
The end but just the dawn”
I envy the bygone saints
With all my heart
Their immaculate faith
Elevated their hope-shaped
Simple lives
Above the plagues and battle cries
