Etemenanki -

Consciousness resuming at a deeper level

Forgotten realms remembered, false constructs revealed

Unhindered reflexive intuition, abstract insights: revelations

Scrape away the mundane dross

Glimpsing higher insights

Trusted self reflections — gnostic introspection

Buried deep and hidden inside, we feel the truth but hear the lie

The self deceit, our thoughts clouded by fear and doubt

Lost in a world of confusion, disillusioned

Deluded into disbelief of our own nature

The voice inside is speaking but we’re deaf to it

Lying to ourselves, lie to each other

Hiding from ourselves

Hiding from the other, empathy is smothered

Distrust one another

War in our minds, wars in the world

In this flesh prison

Drive to supersede

In endless ego

As if every synapse struck out to rule

To be king
