Rage Against the Meatheads (a poem)

Rage against the meatheads
do not go gently into a godless chasm of doom
pushed by those declaring mind an illusion
and the body of meat the reality

Godless sophists of immoral despair
forcing descent into an existential pit of oblivion
full of clutching shadows and false hopes
in return for a flight of mind from a body as meat

Nietzche and Schopenhaur's dualisms of subjective negation
metaphysics finding world morals illusory
Brahma kama sutured onto Zoroaster's idea
transcended even so by the meaninglessness of meat-for-itself

Rage against the meatheads
commandeering politics to programmatic futility of self
where works rescue one from eternal salvation 
commending failure to develop the mind

Rage against the phenomenalism of oblivion
for mind existing even for a moment transcends nothingness
contradicts the meaningless of non-sentience for-itself
reaching for the eternal Spirit of God.
