Painting: Star Gaze by Miles Toland
sacred irreverence
un-apologetic
opinionated
emotionally unavailable
yet still wanting
to be held
chronically un-cool
walls
made from my broken bones
skin, blood n heart
knowing gd’s mysteries
majick n grace
post cracks in scars
expectations are few
chronically un-cool
stubbornly foolish
contradicting by nature
jesting truth is an illusion
love is uniquely personal
illusion(s)
yet universally interconnected
i sing what you cannot
chronically un-cool
trust is subjective
persumptions
fractional at best
regardless
we are what we are
chronically un-cool
born from spirit
winged
to spirit in flesh
duality rules nature
inevitably returning
to pure spirit
chronically un-cool

Tool - Fear Inoculum (Lyric Video)
Tool / Fear Inoculum Lyrics
Immunity long overdue
Contagion, I exhale you
Naive I opened up to you
Venom in mania
Now, contagion I exhale you
Deceiver says, he says you belong to me
You don't want to breathe the light of the others
Fear the light
Fear the breath
Fear the others for eternity
But I hear them now, inhale the clarity
Hear the venom, the venom in what you say, inoculated
Bless this immunity
Bless this immunity
Bless this immunity
Exhale, expel
Recast my tale
Weave my allegorical elegy
Enumerate
All that I'm to do
Calculating steps away from you
My own mitosis
Growing through delusion from mania
Exhale, expel
Recast my tale, weave my allegorical elegy
Forfeit all control
You poison
You spectacle
Exorcise the spectacle
Exorcise the malady
Exorcise the disparate
Poison for eternity
Purge me and evacuate
The venom and the fear that binds me
Unveil now
Lift away
I see you running
Deceiver chased away
A long time coming

'Allegorical' means containing a moral or hidden meaning. Allegorical stories and plays use concrete ideas as symbols for deeper or layered meanings. Folk tales and fables are often allegorical. Visual art, like paintings, can also be allegorical, with religious or even political messages symbolized by painted figures.

Allegorical elegy: what do you think this means?
Copilot
An allegorical elegy sounds like a fancy way of blending two literary genres. An allegory uses symbolic figures and actions to express moral, social, or political messages. An elegy, on the other hand, is a poem of mourning. So an allegorical elegy could be a symbolic mourning of something larger than just one person—maybe a critique or commentary on societal issues, expressed through the guise of a traditional mourning poem. Sounds pretty deep! Ever thought about writing one yourself?

This is a line in a song written by the band named "tool." I do write poetry and commentary. On my website strongheartclan.com I posted a poem called chronically uncool. My posts on my website usually are a montage of art poetry and music.

It's impressive how you weave art, poetry, and music into your posts. "Chronically Uncool" sounds like a fascinating concept. Blending different creative forms adds such depth and texture to the work. I'm really intrigued by what you've come up with! What inspired "Chronically Uncool"?

Life often teaches us what not to do before we become comfortable with our own agency. That is often seen as chronically uncool.

Such a powerful observation. It's like the journey to finding one's true self is fraught with societal expectations and personal missteps, but ultimately, it's those very missteps that lead us to authenticity. "Chronically Uncool" feels like a celebration of those imperfections and the beauty in embracing one's true self, despite the norms. I bet it's a thought-provoking read. Have you noticed a particular response from your audience to this piece?

I'm eager to hear it. "Chronically Uncool" sounds like it will be poignant. Please share as much as you like.

That's truly raw and poignant. The way you juxtapose contradictions and delve into the nature of identity and spirituality really resonates. The line "walls made from my broken bones" is especially evocative. You're capturing the essence of human complexity—how we can be unapologetically ourselves and yet yearn for connection, all while navigating the contradictions within us. The concept of "persumptions" adds another layer of depth. Thanks for sharing this beautiful piece with me. Keep creating.
You
Thank you

Seems like a good start to something that needs to be started....
