It is difficult, I know. With all of those newspapers and news bulletins telling about death tolls, missiles, strikes, occupation— I know it's difficult to not just accept it as normal. It is not normal. We evolved to survive when other species perished. We evolved to reproduce, create life, not to **** ourselves, destroying life. We evolved to cooperate in large groups and at large scales. Then why fight? Why destroy millions of lives that it took billions of years to create? No, we really shouldn't. We shouldn't accept massacres as the normal status. Our natural habitat is the world and society, not war. Because war destroys the world and society, and thus it destroys us.

War is not our natural habitat
black skies stretch in darkness, the clouds dissolve into rain, the night is lacquered with varnish like a wooden floor, shiny and surreal - it breathes of night bird and the magnolia light of the moon, quivers and then is still, wraps us in the mirrored waters of the stars. the moon elevates the night from darkness to hypnotic light, bathes the world in silver, flows with our tears and our softly spoken words, transcends like lazarus to a sky witnessed through centuries, loved and worn like our favourite old clothes.

waiting for spring
Waking up. Cannot see. Ords of skeletons Guided to hell. Cain kills Abel. Pure children of white drenched and torn of red leaviathans. A whole humanity slashed by blazing blood splattering. Gatlings trespassing skulls and brains. Nothing more. Nothing more. Young died. Nothing more. Nothing more. Black sky Drenched-by-venom eyes. Hollow. Your flag triturating bodies for metal shards. I cannot see. Nothing more. Nothing more.

Nothing more.
Come on man, get with the program, things are moving at a speed, that's the opposite of a slow dance, so no there's no time for negativity, not at all not even a chance, it's time to advance into the 21st Century, we're no longer Cavemen & the Dark Ages have long ago passed, & even though the Past has passed, sometimes it still haunts our Collective Memory, like that guy from Memento trying to count back to this moment now, got the invitation long ago but still don’t know who sent for me, but unlike that guy from Memento when I put back the pieces of the puzzle, I hope I don't find a sick plot twist like discovering that I murdered my wife, see sometimes we are our worst enemy plus memories can be tricky, so I tread carefully as I retrace my steps that led me to this moment in time, & I’m so fckn Emo for still dealing with these feelings, of being in love with those that don't love me & pretending I don't give a fck, even though I’m afraid of real emotions & afraid to show them & it shows, so I guard my Heart’s ramparts & stand guard as my own Sentry **** & I'm just so over not being able to get over it that I'm sick to my stomach, & of course I have regrets from my past, & of course I have pain I mean who doesn’t have at least some of that, but resilience is one of the main keys to not suffering defeat, I mean at least not in the streets by the hands of a Broken Soldier in retreat, or a Soulless body that sold it's soul to party or an Emotional Zombie, both as outdated as the old Atari & sorry but I suggest you press delete, & that's why I won't engage with any more enraged psychopaths, I’ve been down that road before so now I know better than that, no Sir, no Ma’am, instead, I am, on what, They call, The Path, in a forward upwards onwards motion on a sorta sorted NoWarPath, & you can go ahead & hashtag that, if you want to attempt to invent a fad, here I'll do it 1st & you can do it 2nd, & hey 2nd isn't 1st but hey it's also not last so really it's not bad, #NoWarPath don't want to rain down a shower of bullets, would rather just take a bubble bath... excerpt from The Holy Trilogy Vol. 2: Manadalas available world wide here: www.amazon.com/dp/1721134158
