On a starved planet with a slow dying race
An expedition to obtain Zeal has begun
Entranced in decades of psychedelic sleep
In the far reaches of space, a thirty year voyage has commenced

A forest of alien spores decorate the interior of the ship
Creating overlapping shelves of exotic foreign shrooms
Pods of slumber, mimic the layered strain

Each pod unique in design
Enveloped by terrestrial hieroglyphs 
The scent of foreign fungus reeks pungent to
the human senses yet calms the alien soul

Synthesis 
Not needed
To thrive
Xenogeneic 
Psilocybin 
Multiples
From within
The chilled
Damp chambers
Anxiously 
Awaiting
To rise

Hallucinogens blanking the alien mind
Strains of bacteria bask in metamorphosis 
Breeding hybrid strains, constantly strengthening 
Melting minds into stasis 

A canvas of intertwining rods of cells
Making residence of the stagnant air 

Inhuman cyborg pilots the craft
And feeds the cells watching over them
Soon to grow into abominations 
Advanced molecules unknown to man

The emperor 
Preaches the
Scriptures of a
Foretold prophecy 
As ancient
Alien
Shamans use
Psychedelics 
As tools to
Become one
With the Earths
Mighty powers

Foreign color stream
Illuminates 
Their window to the planets 
Perception stripped of all matter
Revealing the paths to vitality
