Metaphysical Warfare Pt.1
Ever feel powerless in today’s world? Ever feel like you are being personally oppressed by life itself? Don’t cow down and become powerless in the face of this juggernaut called life, go to war with it! There is now a definitive strategy that I will make available to you; all the tools needed to win your life and the future! I am here to make this strategy available to you for free, so read up and drink it in, life should never ever be the same and that’s a good thing!



This is right for people who have or may think they have the following: Low self-esteem, Low motivation, Social anxiety, General anxiety, An overall feeling of hopelessness, A fear of the future, Loneliness, Suicidal thoughts, A feeling of being left behind, Past trauma, Phobias, and well just about anything else you think is wrong with yourself, but isn`t!



The beginning of our journey and training begins with pragmatism and a definition of Metaphysical; without material form or substance; "metaphysical forces." In short the forces at work in your life without a physical form, I.E; your thoughts and Ideas, Emotion, and everything in between that can be named and not seen, all essentially fit into the realm of the ``Metaphysical.`` Logically speaking the metaphysical has no real relevancy to what you do on a day to day basis right? Wrong! Metaphysical forces may just influence your life more than anything tangible and logical. I for one have had "those days" where everything just seems to go wrong and no matter what I do, everything just seems to go the way of making my life not worth living, as if no matter what I do I am essentially going to end up paying for my actions one way or another and almost assuredly I do. This in my opinion is a metaphysical force best personified as "Murphy's Law" (everything that can go wrong will). Our world and lives are permeated by all metaphysical forces simultaneously, it would be most un-wise and almost damning to not know how to use such forces to benefit and enrich this human experience we call life.



The basis of my strategy lies within this timeless wisdom from Friedrich Nietzsche; "Where one despises one cannot wage war; where one commands, where one sees something as beneath one, one has not to wage war - My practice in warfare can be reduced into four propositions. Firstly: I attack only causes that are victorious. Secondly: I attack only causes against which I will find no allies, where I stand alone - where I compromise only myself... I have never taken a step in public which was not compromising; that is my criterion of right action. Thirdly: I never attack persons - I only employ the person as a magnifying glass with which one can make visible a general but furtive state of distress which is hard to get hold of. Fourthly: I attack where any kind of personal difference is excluded where there is no background of bad experience. On the contrary, to attack is with me is a proof of good will under certain circumstances of gratitude. I do honour, I do confer distinction when I associate my name with a cause."



That being said let me re-say it. Firstly: I attack cause that only I can win. Secondly: I attack causes where I will stand alone and be grateful for it. Thirdly: I do not attack persons, I employ persons as personifications of their beliefs whatever they may be and use that as my method of not only understanding the person but the belief. Fourthly: If it isn't broke, we need to break it. Sometimes somethings are too good to be true and the truth is exactly what is needed.



Now the fun begins! How can you employ this game-breaking strategy into your life? Well it is as easy as anything else you do, maybe even easier, just think about it and start small. The place where I always start in employing my battle plan is my own conscious perception of the circumstance. How do I perceive this? How do I perceive this as opposed to another person; how do I perceive this as opposed to someone I know well? This is done entirely to gain a contrast about how permeating the "problem" is, how well and how completely this is tied to your consciousness and inexorably how much it exactly affects you. Once you have gained the contrast as to how much exactly you put conscious effort forth into your perceived problems, attack!



Firstly: This is all in your head, where it began, where your problem will end. Secondly: Only you can win this fight against something you created in your own head. Thirdly: Don't cast blame, not even on yourself, things are for you to overcome, this is a blessing! Although it won't seem like until you have total victory. Fourthly: Smash, rip, tear, don't be afraid of what is in your own head, ever! Everything in there is just like everything physical in one important sense; it can be either a weapon or a tool in your own head you are indeed beyond good and evil.



As much negative energy is brought upon you by your own thoughts, as much as you feel constricted it is a challenge to turn that on it's head by thinking positively, and here is the fun part of that no one can judge you for the thoughts that you keep in your own head, only you and well just don't, it is that easy just let it flow. If it feels positive and is in direct opposition to the negative aspects of your "problem" then battle won! But remember this is a War! No retreat, No Surrender, You literally have nothing to lose and everything you thought you didn't have to gain!



Let`s redefine what it means to LIVE!

Diner Tale.
""Am I a son of a bitch?""
It was around three o’ clock in the afternoon on a bone dry day in the middle of the desert.

There was a diner, an old fifties joint that had over the years been converted into a truck stop.

In the quaint but desolate eatery there sat a middle aged woman on her way home from a cross country business meeting.

Muriel Gibson was her name. Muriel was by all accounts an average woman. Muriel sat quietly and read her romance novel while sipping on her black coffee. Everything about the day seemed to be average but a strange feeling came over her as if someone has just gently blown on the back of her neck. She quickly turned from her novel to find that she was alone for two tables in every direction, just a draft she thought. She delved back into her novel.

Miles away there is a distraught young man in his early twenties pacing alongside the road in the scalding desert sun. The man had looked like he had just come out of clothes dryer filled with pumice; his cargo pants and floral print shirt had the impression that it had been almost instantly dissolved by the numerous small rips and tears accented by small blotches of crusted over blood.

The waitress sets Muriel’s food down in front of her, “There you go doll.” The waitress chirped with a wink. Muriel broke her transfixion on the novel and replied to the waitress with a smile and a nod.

He thought his eyes where deceiving him. Finally after six hours of walking in desert heat the man saw the roadside diner. Tears welled up in his eyes, relief! He broke into a dead sprint.

Muriel was taking her time eating and reading her novel, she was in no rush. Muriel had taken the position that she had with her particular law firm because of the travel, because she liked to be in transit, in motion, anything was better than the nothing she had waiting for her every night.

The man was crawling by the time he got to the door; he stopped in the fetal position and caught his breath. Ok act natural, go straight to the bathroom and get yourself cleaned up. The pep talk recited in his head gave him the impetus to come to his feet.

Muriel felt a sudden surge of energy that took her breath away, she looked up from her book and stared ahead quizzically as if trying to calculate exactly what suddenly coursed through her body and made her hair stand on end.

The man limped forward to the bathroom no one even looked up at him, good, he thought. He made it into the bathroom after plunging his head under the faucet while swallowing as much water as he could, he began cleaning as the dried blood and scabs off of his face and clothes. He pulled a switch blade from his back pocket took off his pants and cut the legs off of them, using one leg as a cloth and the other as a bandana.

The waitress had taken Muriel’s dish and left her with a fresh cup of coffee, as she fingered the last few pages of her novel the man sat down across from her.

“Am I a son of a bitch, ma’am?”

“Excuse me ?!” Muriel spoke softly with an edge.

“Am I a son of a bitch? I mean I am still young and can’t stop wondering am I that? Am I the worst and not the best of what brought me into this world? I mean I have been on my own since I was sixteen sleeping on the streets and begging for whatever I can get just to live and I wonder am I supposed to be this way? Am I the delinquent child of two morons who won’t even think about the life they created? Is this my fate, to wander aimlessly and be at the mercy of every thug with an appetite for hate? Look at me I woke up this morning in the middle of the desert because I was thrown from the truck that gave me a ride but when I refused to suck his cock he threw me out, literally now here I am broke, beat, with one foot in the grave and I have barely just come out of puberty. The one thing I have been called more than anything is a son of a bitch. So I begin to wonder am I?”

“Well, umm, young man I am not quite sure what to say.”

“Don’t worry you don’t have to say anything, all I want to know is, what the hell can I do when I am literally bound by nothing?”

Muriel’s jaw dropped, she had never once before been so taken with someone so young besides his rough condition she felt as though he had just spoke the very problem she had been suffering from since her second divorce. Every night she went to sleep alone in her two story home she had progressively noticed the silence and void, the absence of anything meaningful; The Nothing.

“Once again, I am speechless, I have often felt…”

“So basically, where do I go? What do I do now that everything I was told as a child is meaningless, what do I do now that I don’t have a piece of paper listing my address, because I don’t have an address. What do I do when my most valued skill is protecting myself? What do I do when I have nothing? Where do I turn to? My parents have all but disowned me, no other family and nothing but a blade.”

“I guess you have to do what is right for you, nothing else matters at that point, I can’t speak to that because I have never been in that situation although, my son…”

“Is everything ok here ma’am?” Asked the waitress while she placed the bill on the table

“Yes, everything is fine, please get a menu for this young man, and put it on my bill”

The waitress had a half-crossed look as she looked at the young man, but quickly it shifted into a heart-warming smile when her eyes came back to Muriel, “Sure thing.”

The man kept his gaze on Muriel.

“Thank you.”

“No, problem it sounds as though you have had a rough night.”

“No. Thank you for answering my question.”

“I’m not sure which one I...”

“I’m not a son of a bitch… Mom.”

Bow To Shadow.
“Or else what?”



“Or else we will kill you.”



“Oh? Let's play a game of Russian roulette, I'll load the gun, you place the bet. Tell me who will make it out alive.” In mono-tone, as he pulls a snub nose revolver out of his pocket, with the flick of his wrist the chambers clack open he shows her the five empty chambers and one full.

“I know that you know that, I know that you know. Can't call a bluff with a dead man’s hand.”



Her eyes open wide, the hairs on the back of her neck rise, “Don’t.”



“You know you can go, you can give up trying. I know you better then you ever could.” Followed by the click of the cylinder locking back into the body of the revolver.



Her mind races, how did it get this far? there isn’t any way to get the gun out of his hands… six feet away there’s no way she could stop what was going to happen. She wasn’t about to waste the last two years of her life.



“Don’t do it, I… I Love you.”



“Love? We started off with a one night stand, lingered to a fling, then two years had gone by, the sirens and the sergeants don't seem to mean a thing. Hide your fangs all you want, you still need the blood. Tell me what is different now that I have a .38 Special in my hand. You're up to no good.” His thumb fans the hammer back, resounding in the tell-tale sound of a gun waiting to be fired.



A tear is shed from her right eye, the mascara pacing down half her face. She drops to her knees,



“Suicide won’t change anything.”



“You say this is suicide? I say this is a war!” He points the gun at the floor and spins the chambers. With one fluid motion he puts the barrel in his mouth and pulls the trigger.



CLICK.



“There's no need for enemies with friends like you, there's no need for anything, truth be told… I mean you were always a prick.” Staring deep into his eyes, she knows one look can end it.



“Should of just called it quits…should of just called it quits, leave before it's too late. Get out of my life and stay that way, or come closer and tell me those three little words.” His hand slowly drawing a line through the air with all the gravitas on the gun, he puts the barrel to his temple.



As she brings herself back to her feet.



CLICK.



“Odds just got a little better that we are meant to be” he spoke through a sinister smirk.



“Don’t fucking play with us!” She screams.



“Us? Who is us exactly?” Spinning the chambers once again.



A blank expression draws over her face… she knows she has been made.



“You look tense… you see for me, this happens all the time, this happens every day but I never seem to quit and the wolves never stay at bay. I hate to say I told you so but fuck it, I told you so and don't say a word, I already know.” Once again he puts the barrel to his head.



She moves to take a step closer.



CLICK.



She stops dead.



“Don’t move. Now it’s one in three this room will have a new paint job.” Spinning the chambers once again.



“I'm no saint, your no martyr, one more night playing heart piñata? How do you say goodbye, when you've hardly said hello?” The words slightly stunned her as they came off of her tongue.



“The only way we know how… Drop the gun let’s fuck.”



“You’re learning girlie, but the sad thing is I've come back to old remedies” He sticks the gun in his mouth.



CLICK.



“Looks like it’s fifty-fifty. One last ‘round the world for old time’s sake?” Wiping his saliva off the gun on his arm.



“YOU MISERABLE FUCK! What the hell do you think you’re doing!?! Do you have an Idea what is really at stake?”



With the flick of his wrist, the chambers spin… as if in slow-motion the cylinder locks in place. With a dead stare that could stop a raging bull in its tracks,



“My dear… Do you?”



“OK! I can’t tell you but I can tell you this… I was sent here to recruit you… but I do Love you” With a panicked grimace over her face.



“Well I know I was a cunt in the final days, it just filled me with venom, filled me with rage to see someone I was with not give a shit, despite of all of this I won't see you around, I couldn't give a fuck.” Gun at his side, his weapon; his gaze,



“Is this what you call Love? This is a war I can't win.”



She breaks. Throwing herself at his feet,



“You can’t do this! You are needed!”



“For what?”



Sobbing uncontrollably, gasping for breath, tears blanketing his leather shoes, she can barely calm herself knowing if she fails it is her life at stake, she remembers the words that she agreed to before they met: “Failure, is not an option if he finds out who you are and what your mission is, it is your life on the line.” Taking a deep breath, she barely has the composure to steady her shaking hands but somehow summons the strength to speak,



“If I let you in… you'd just want out. If I tell you the truth, you'd vie for a lie. If I spill my guts, it would make a mess we can't clean up. If you follow me, you will only get lost. If you try to get closer, we'll only lose touch. Yes you already know too much, and you're not going anywhere.“



“You’re in no position to make threats.” As he presses the barrel to the back of her head.



A familiar calm comes over her.



“Go ahead I am already dead. I’ll gladly die at your feet, better then what I already have waiting for me.”



CLICK



Her whole body flinches, her head jolts ninety degrees up, seeing the gun once again at his head.



He smiles. Spinning the chambers once again,



“Looks like this is it doll face.”



Her whole world turns to a brilliant white.



As if the words emanate from within her and all around her; it is his voice,



“I’m recruiting you.”



Eyes open to a stainless steel room, she sits facing three figures at a table she can’t make out due to the extremely bright light shone directly into her eyes.



“It won’t happen again, I swear! Please give me another chance, I don’t know how he knew, you said I was the best, I thought I could do it, there is no way he is that good, I was compromised, I remembered all my training I did it by the book! I can still get anyone, for free! In two years I can get anything with a dick to marry me.”



The three figures simultaneously get up from behind the table, and leave the room. The light dims revealing the revolver on the table, followed by the sound of the door being locked.



She remembered this; this was in her training… The new recruits had to watch these snuff tapes, as she looks to the camera in the corner of the room, the red light blinking letting her know the tapes running. She remembered watching someone else blow their head off for failing, now it was her turn, these are the things that were beaten into her: Success or death. She pulls herself up from her chair and steadily moves for the gun. Her hand grips the revolver.



“Drop it. You’re in.”



Her head spins so fast in the direction she just came from she nearly faints.



There he is. Standing inches behind the chair she just got up from.



“This is love to me, honey.” he spoke with a icy stare.



“Two years… it took me two years, but you are the closest thing to perfect I have ever seen.”



She just stands, dead on her feet.



“You can't run with the foxes and yet hunt with thee wolf.” He paces toward her. She just remains still and silent, eyes fixated on her former mark. He takes the gun from her hand, flips the cylinder exposing the five empty chambers and the occupied one.



“Every time the chambers spin it’s still one in six, more than an acceptable risk… to get you.”

...
Why am I so intimidating?
I want to meet.
 

[-]
So the game begins...
So what’s this now another crushing defeat? No this is something different. I know what a fool I have been.
I know what a coward I have been. I can’t deny anything. In the same breath. I don’t care… In a good way. I have my great crushing I have my great failing. I decide what ever ends I get. I am not afraid. I know I am alone. I know my failings they are clear as day. I am to much of what I hate to ever realize I hate it. I really hate what I have done but I know I can’t I can only hope one day I can make it right. I want nothing more then to make it right. I have never felt this way before. I never want to feel this way again. I hope I have become what I hate for a reason. I hope I learn for all that I have failed from I deserve whatever I get. I am getting professional help.
 

[-]
A kiss between strangers that is what I would like it to remain.
The embrace of a dead end friend.
The truth consumes us all and we are all consumed by it.
Let it all hang out be free.
The truth is out there.
Our lives become lies translated into oxymorons.
One should not speak to which he does not no anything about lest you cross the proverbial veil.
Speak no more of fate. You can sleep now knowing you backed out. You freaked out.
Freedom.
Give no quarter and accept none.
Search and Destroy.
There are several things in your life that are coming to a ‘head’
Say whatever needs to be said.
It is time to put this to bed.
You are better then where you stand. Bathed in light known only as second sight under and unto grace is where it will remain
 

[-]
Things where heard that needed to be heard. Things where said that needed to be said. Here I stood shoes reversed with fate. Shoes reversed saying things I once heard and disbelieved. To be certain I heard them.

I’m not certain I heard them. I don’t want to be. I speak too candourosly about things I can’t be certain. I am to be unhampered. Vanity consumes us all.

Vile to the point of tease. Command is command to whatever ends. Leadership is vision with command forsaking the known in hopes of the greater .

Temporal lobe epilepsy the word binds, it is shuttered, to be seen and unseen and remain in both. Never to be tolerated or misinterpreted. I think this the resurgence of fate.

But subtle cues and clues all point to hard work. I need to enjoy myself before I begin my work. I know it will be consuming and nothing but distractions await but I can bring my self back to the days of school day bells, pen and loose leaf paper.

To be set free, conviction: the sign on Auschwitz read freedom through work.

Connecting the ties that bind. I stood on a driveway dragging my toe through multi-colored oil stained water droplets with no concern to how I connected them so long as I did. No means to and end.

I said I’d make the world fair. What did I mean?

So you got your problem after needing one and it is one requiring someone else. If you continue to be what you are now then you will never be what you need to be. At the same time it is more then it needs to be. But the fact remains in this world it needs to be. By friend by fiend by virtue or vice. I will have it done and done to me. Lest despair turn to perversion. The truth is stranger then fiction.

What truth did I give away and even more disconcerting what fiction?
What is my ability to discern on from another.

The right to repeat the right to retreat all you have to do is turn it on.
The right from wrong there is hearth in discontent.
Speaking and not thinking.
Thinking and not acting .
Acting without thinking.
Shame be damned.
What is worth loosing?

Why always look like the bleeding heart romantic? If there is one thing that plagues you it is visions.
Loose the hair.

I wasn’t sure I could handle it. I now know it’s not up to me.
I do the best I can and let it be.

These are words worth repeating.

Serendipitous Bounce.
Usurp reality. Unwind the ties that bind. 1977 reaffirmed what I had been thinking all day: it is indeed in the pangs of defeat, the drive of desperation where in the serendipitous bounce lays, in wait ready to connect or defeat.

Of course it wasn't as whimsical as that.

When I ask the question, what controls you?...

My answer is tendons, sure technically our muscles are controlled by our central nervous system, but if you are talking true control, my answer is still tendons.
Brain controls muscle, muscle controls movement, movement is articulated and refined also limited by...Tendons

Be that as it may I walk in the right path with wet feet. I get it now, at least enough to fake it, It's still not fair though, and so goes the serendipitous bounce.

I hate to hate a color. But right now I hate blue.

It isn't the fight upstream that matters it is the resistance: any resistance.

The serendipitous bounce is calculated enough to get you to the point that you have a split second to save two lives. Wait I don't think my own counts If I save it, or does it?
Survival instinct, I guess but that also means I believe life is worth living.
Only a small improvement I say.

Don't worry, it's not as ominous as it seems: what is a life that can never be free?

I want it in plain English for once. But that will never happen, instead everyday cryptic coincidences that enthrall a sense of mythic pursuit.

I get it, when the stars line up, the stars line up. I must do my duty.

I will never not want to know why.(?)

I hope you get hit by the serendipitous bounce someday.

Incomplete Is A Leech.
"We will wear compassion, we will wear it on our chests and sing with love in our throats, like a child it's all we'll know. I know now that glory has not a place near my hands or any mans."

I need a reason to hope for a better tomorrow. I need my own reason. I cannot fight for anything other then myself right now. Myself right now is not worth fighting for. I want to fight for something bigger, something more. I cannot fight for family, they do not need a warrior. I cannot fight for my country because it has never been what it has claimed. I do not know who I am. I do not know where I come from. I am torturing myself by not seeking these answers. I need to know where I come from to know who I am to do things I feel I need to do. I need to know what is in my blood. I cannot do this alone at this point in my life. I am controlled by guilt because I am free. I need not worry about failure when I don’t attempt anything. I am guilted into failure. I fail because success doesn’t feel right. It is never my success. Why are you ever happy for me? Why must I feel nothing when I achieve the most trivial success and everyone else is jubilant? Have I set the bar this low? I want nothing more then to set everything right if it didn’t feel wrong in doing so. It all seems like a bad joke. To succeed you must fail. There is a double edged blade in your heart, use it. I can do this if I know you are waiting for me. I can’t do this knowing you already know this. I haven’t grown a day since I lost everything. I had a world I was safe in, I place I called home. I watched it evaporate as the ones I loved turned on each other and left me to decide. I decided to die that day. I decided to help the way I could and dissolve in the background, I wanted to be white noise. Time continues and each day emotions subsided around me but not in me. What I had seen the people I cared for reduced to, sickens me and still haunts me. There is no one worth trusting. This world is fucked. I watched first my friends turn on me, and consequently my parents, they gave me a choice friends or family. Family never makes you choose. I chose friends. I chose to help the one person I could and the one person that needed me. For that I burnt. I still burn. I burn by choosing to ignore it happened. I want answers for this. Time still continues. Friends fade into distance regardless the proximity. No friends. No family. What the hell happened? I need closure to move forward. I cannot change or grow unless I know, what was going through their heads that day. I say I lost everything. I lost nothing. Nothing but the respect and love for the ones that love me. Love is better than that. That is why I am really angry love is better then what I experienced. I experienced nothing but petty domination. Love cannot unwind the way I did. Love cannot destroy a person. Love does not chose sides or draw battle lines. You never loved me. You wanted to dominate me. You do not know what is best for me. I do not know what is best for me. You owe it to me to let me find out. You owe me answers why you did what you did, all of you. I did what I did out of love. I cared more for a friend then my own family because I have never felt like I have ever been part of your family. I loved my friend because I was afraid of my family. I chose to burn for my love. I love him because he can succeed in this world where I know I will fail. I will fail to bring happiness to this world. I will fail to create a place of total love and understanding. He won’t because he has experienced it, I haven't, I won't. I have this faith in him because I know him. You cannot have faith in me. You do not know me.

Nothing, Nevermind.
Once again, I speak about something I know oh so little about.
This...life, it's current state and my path.
You know there was a time I cried for journey, I lived for excitement, In the fractured growing pains of youth I sat and toiled in my mind to my own ends... never thinking or expecting what has led me to and ultimately trapped me in an invisible Faraday cage.

A short time ago I wallowed in self-defeat. Now an heir of entitlement I claim to hold the keys. I can't escape the fate I willingly create.

There was a brief period in between I regressed to my childhood, each event I re-lived the untold horror in everyday expression. Dwelling in empathy frequently erratically replaced with self-loathing I swore I was concrete in letting people mar my surface by remaining expressionless.

Now I am juxtaposed in my desire for internal liberation and external breaking of patterns, I see the opportunity, I hold the knob but am afraid to use the key.

The people, the places, the symbolic representation is more then random chance. these are chances for equality, for me to be me.

I am too comfortable in my decorations of defeat, the distracting trinkets of modern landscape even now I am comforted to toil truly alone surrounded by people.

So I digress that it is nothing but fear. The greatest fear. The fear that I could possibly be more then anyone could accredit to me, that I could go beyond every single time what people expect of me. It is the fear that I could become what I have born to be... Free, untrammeled, unchanged adrift in an open and hostile sea. But I as well as any seek comfort in the known, seek the comfort in repeating every single failure.

Shadow Of The Empire.
They awoke on the shores of a marsh. The three of them all slowly roused with an air of satisfaction between them not a word was said as the breaking dawn crested on the stone wall in front of them, shadows revealing every flaw.

"The day is ours." the words caught adrift in the cool morning air from behind a veiling cloak dark as the night preceding the dawn.

Three stood with the sun to there backs.

Glancing past the breaking of the light, feeling the dew on her legs as she gingerly plucked the dead leaves clinging to her dress, "How do we know we got away with it?"
"We go and find out." emanated from the cloak.
"Yes, that's all well and good but how do we know we aren't dead already?" garishly exhaled as the young man fastens his rotting leather boots.

The cloaked man seemed to disappear in toward the draping of his cloak, remaining for a second and falling backward only to seemingly right himself as quickly, all but his hood as it sauntered it's way down the bald scalp it had been sheltering unveiling a middle aged man with piercing grey eyes contrasted by the straight scar running the left length of his face from his unusually pronounced cheek bones to his perfectly square jaw.

"We don't." was all that needed to be said.

The three set off on the beaten down farmers path that crossed the marsh bending along the great stone wall that skirted the city bounds. They came to a great arc. The only entrance and exit to the city mired in stone. They peered inwards. The great white marble cathedral was the fist thing immediately visible. Blue fabric draped and adorned the monolithic ivory tower. A crowd slowly starting to gather in the city square directly below.

Moving slowly the three started to stagger themselves as if not to be seen together, moving through an ever building crowd the cloaked man stopped and took notice of a young woman on her hands and knees weeping.

He caresses her shoulders with her finger tips. She looks up.
"My dear, your tears have turned to pools."
"Can't you see the cathedral? can't you see it's blue!" There are no drops only streams of tears running down her face. Her cries hurried in between gasps for breath.
"I can see things quite clearly" The cloak in piles as he kneels beside the grieving woman.
"Then what is wrong with you?!" exclaimed the woman.
The cloaked man rose and fixed his gaze at the balcony of the tower.
"Tis not I who breaks all restraint and falls to my knees at the sight of blue"

"Our empire stretches from sea to sky. Our empire claims mountains and oceans. Our empire claims nature itself..." The daily crier hollers from the top of the cathedral tower.

"Have you no respect, ROYALTY might be dead!" The woman sobbed as she pressed her open palms to the earth.
"A shadow shows only the respect it is given." His eyes still locked atop the tower.

"Our empire has risen from nothing to claim everything" The voice boomed off the massive stone walls encompassing the city.

The three companions stood shoulder to shoulder once again.

"But today our empire has no heir and no king." The echo silences any noise from the crowd.

The silence was follow by an explosion of the crowd into a mob of unbridled emotion, the flailing of limbs and shedding of tears as all moved either to give comfort or receive it, the remainder cursing the heavens in futility. All but the three who awoke in the marsh.

The cloaked man turned to his companions his eyes ablaze, “I am nothing more then your blade, an instrument of will dealing in death, revel in what you have created never forget the day you betrayed your king and became the shadow of an empire.”

Sirenum scopuli
Rant to rant.

I don't expect anyone to understand this.

Such an intriguing nostalgia, unfettered déjà vu. What a wondrous thing to be on the receiving end of sirens. I have seen more then one set of eyes lit by the maelstrom of intrinsic beauty, locked beneath the fleeting emotional kaleidoscope of throttling hormones, these women could have been the death of me.

There is a chance that what I am experiencing is temporal lobe epilepsy, a persistent and perpetuating cyclic resolution of fate, within the brain, but that is only a guise.

The sirens of old lured entire ships of men to their jagged rock doom with nothing but a song. The sirens of new have a plethora of tools to illicit your destruction. They test your mettle with unapologetic candor, they are masters of will while you are left to decide should I or shouldn't I? Regardless of your position, you can never win, they exist on the outside of logic and reason when they can foreseen your next season. They use their physical beauty like the butt end of a shotgun; to knock you out or to steady their aim.

There is not a move in this life or the next that you can make that will separate your from their secondhand preordained fate. From what I can see they enjoy but ultimately do not wish to be what they are. Your only chance is to remove your self from body, mind and soul and realize in-action is and can be the greatest action for and toward them. They begged to be released, all they need is for one hypothetical sailor to hear and enjoy their song for what it is not to self-stimulate to the point of destruction. They watch the strongest men, the strongest of our kind grovel at their feet, lash out for a need to repeat the failure that crushed them inside out. Their victims can only hope to be in the end an empty shell.

I have seen first hand the drunken stupor the meek are reduced to, A life cursed to live without what they have convinced themselves there is no reason to live without, what is rightfully theirs by the self-inflicted price they repeatedly chose to pay, they think that they should and can now have what is not theirs... the lives of their metaphysical captors.

These women are raptors, strategic hunters, if you take up a sword, they will win. The only thing that can be done is to grow to absorb each and every writhing bludgeoning blow and know that one day, all shall become clear, these are the weeders of our metaphysical soldiers, they are generals of a phantom army, one that if all goes according to plan, they need not command.

Get Back(up) up.
He saw his own blood inches away from his eyeball, for that split-second it hung there, a perfect sphere made all the more brilliant by the clouds of tear gas and the pulsating blue and red lights in the immediate background. Followed immediately by crippling pain of the officer's club on the highest part of his cheekbone. The last thing he saw was pavement.

A cascade of images washed over him, his first temper tantrum, his first skinned knee, his first time in the penalty box, his first car crash, his first witnessed death.

Once again pavement. He felt two hands grab the back of his arm, all of the sudden he was back to his feet, everything was in slow-motion, an angry mob and riot police. Molotovs exchanged with rubber bullets.

"Don't fight me son." A voice said so close to him he could feel the breath. The chill of defeat radiated up his spine from the ratcheting shut of handcuffs on his left wrist. Like a flash, without hesitation his right fist met the face that was restraining him, the officer winced and took a knee, as the tip of a steel toed work boot met his throat and forced him on his back. choking on his own blood he grabbed his radio and garbled "fifteen at three o' clock."

Turning around, the young man shouted "WE ARE NOT NUMBERS, WE ARE NAMES!" Met only with the empty shrill of sirens and a voice over the loud speaker "cease and desist you are all under arrest." A trail of smoke and a hissing sound accompanied by the twang as a fresh tear gas can lands at his feet, the young man scoops the can bolting ahead of the crowd, and throws it right back. "WE ARE NOT CRIME REPORTS WE ARE HISTORY!"
