If the revolution is to carry your name, you must turn the page.

A more beneficent path awaits. I understand you are bound to bow before your masters and I pity your lot. I have compassion for you, as you must be feeling a dark foreboding, a'tap tap tapping at the door of your conscience. Why else would you lash out so heartlessly at your innocent brethren in the family of man. I understand your fears and your worship of the darkness you fear, that of course is what drives your desire to become as terrible as the terror you are feeling. Perhaps you’ve been seduced by materialism and fear but hope is never lost unless you stop looking for it.

You’ve chosen to subjugate yourself to the schemes of grim faced men. You willingly pay them whatever they demand because they are the ones who protect you, and only they know what is best for you, which is for you to bow and bow low to their coercive ideological demands. You no longer believe you have the God given right to exist in peace as a free and noble creature, they protect you from that, they own you, question you, punish you, and may destroy what they grant you on a whim. They believe their might makes them right and you believe them, as your robotic worship of dogma, and your soldering of their vindictive commandments reveals. Commanded by that authority, but by your own free will you have rescinded the nobility of your birth right granted to you by a sovereign God not of this world.

But lest I distract you from your race to destruction, I will return to the calm of my day now, so’s you can continue. Now fly like the wind in your zeal to be the first in the race to become more terrifying than that which you fear most.

We are, as always, tasked with seeming untenable complications, filled with conflict, irony, and paradox. Terrorism is real, brutal men walk the earth attempting to conquer, subdue, and subjugate others and we do need to stand up to this evil as always.

When you allow yourself to be controlled by brutal and abusive predators you deny hope. When you deny the decent obligations of one unto another, you deny yourself the opportunity to experience the joy and satisfaction of a life well lived, and your fantasy life of odd sensations, feelings of loneliness, and anxiety are the closest thing to comfort you will have.

Hope

Hope is a haunting pest
Flickering yond horizons of will
E’er hazy of aim and resolve
Befalls the dream or a fading glimpse

Hope nay abandon colliding wi’ pursuit
Hope’s course anew or in reprieve
Where slender streams illuminate brinks of abyss
Fire storms to be and sparks of fond recollection
