But have the gods ever given you drugs?

Sometimes the path finds you...

By Rico VersePublished 5 years ago 2 min read

Cuz’um… they’ve gotten me fucked up.

This aint no joke

It was this one time

I just got taken

Straight to the divine

Where was I at?

And who was I?

These were the question

That kept playing in my mind

Where was I going?

Who was i at?

All of these words

Just faded to bblaah

What was I saying

Where was my face

I had just been blown

To outer space

These vibes that I’m feeling

How long do they last

Cuz I feel like it’s an eternity

And I’m high off my ass

Bout 15 mins your good

Said the homie on the side

The only thing that seemed stable

Was him just idling by

While the world was fading in and out and my reality was in doubt

The gods told me “This is life. Enjoy it”.

And in that moment they sent me in a shout

For it unfolded my embedded destiny

And unleashed what resides

Unleashed the beast within me

The infinite inside

The one with all the answer

That some would call god

But that is not what happened

That’s not what it was

I didn’t become someone

I just tapped into the divine

The same thing all the monks and prophets

What they got going on

That divine blessing we call a message

40 years of meditation

All packed in one bowl

Are you ready for the sky

Cuz that where you’ll be high

Trippin all up in your mind

Seeing your whole life go by

And how it’s all intertwined

But these words do no justice

To what I felt inside

For deep within my

My demons arised

And they came to haunt me

But I stood my ground

I sent them flying

To a whole other realm

And soon after that

Came the second message of all

She lay out destiny

And said “It’s your call”

I thought about something

And felt my soul fly

Straight through a portal

Back to where i was i

What first began as darkness

Ended in a hail of light

For that is what humans tend to do

They go with the flow

Always in a balanced world

Unless some shit went down

And it is when I saw reality reboot

That I realized that I

Was all energy

From way deep down inside

And as I saw my energy flow

I opened my eyes

And saw the world rematerialize

From top to bottom I saw it all

With an interlaying matrix, atop it all

Everything was blurry and wasn't defined

The people, the cars, the animals… everything was awry

The only thing constant

Through this whole ride

Was my homie beside me

Guiding me through this intergalactic ride

For if there is one thing

You should not do

Is do paradigm shifting drugs

Without an anchor for you

For the struggle is real

And you can get lost

Your mind and your body

Will be left without pause

You will die in this realm

Or get stuck between

Not saying this will happen

But just something to take heed

Cuz this shit here ain’t no breeze

Its a fucking mindblower

Thatl leave you in awe

So the last thing i’ll say

About this conversations with gods

Is “What is real” my friends

Cuz thats 100% up to you ….

And know you know it all
