"accursed" poems
Darkness, it falls like a massive leaden shroud Over this quiet valley as the dusk  infects the sky Pleasant faces fade into the shadows of the night As the demons of the dead and dreaming come on out to play Howling at the moon Swarming through the streets Lurking in the shadows On this night of Halloween Carve the faces, light the candles Offerings must be made In the cold October moonlight To the Phantoms of Samhain If you fail If these ghouls are not appeased You will be... Taken by the spirits of the dead!!! The Tempter's Chosen And kin to the Grim Reaper Children of the Darkest Night Steal mortal souls to feast on Ghastly transformations Amidst accursed corpses We are possessed by the evil of tonight's demonic forces! Carve the faces, light the candles Offerings must be made In the cold October moonlight To the Phantoms of Samhain If you fail If these ghouls are not appeased You will be... Taken by the spirits of the dead!!! By the light of the orange moon In the dark of the purple night We linger in these shadows And wait there, until the time is right... On this night of Halloween We roam your city streets And among the masks of plastic We can finally be free So carve those faces, light your candles Offerings still must be made In the cold October moonlight To us Phantoms of Samhain And if you do not heed these words And refuse these simple deeds Well then, my friend You will be, Taken by the spirits of the dead! And if you do not heed these words And refuse these simple deeds Well then, My friend, you will be Taken ... Taken to the grave! Taken... Taken far away! Taken... Taken by we, the Phantoms of Samhain!!!

Phantoms of Samhain
Darkness, it falls like a massive leaden shroud Over this quiet valley as the dusk  infects the sky Pleasant faces fade into the shadows of the night As the demons of the dead and dreaming come on out to play Howling at the moon Swarming through the streets Lurking in the shadows On this night of Halloween Carve the faces, light the candles Offerings must be made In the cold October moonlight To the Phantoms of Samhain If you fail If these ghouls are not appeased You will be... Taken by the spirits of the dead!!! The Tempter's Chosen And kin to the Grim Reaper Children of the Darkest Night Steal mortal souls to feast on Ghastly transformations Amidst accursed corpses We are possessed by the evil of tonight's demonic forces! Carve the faces, light the candles Offerings must be made In the cold October moonlight To the Phantoms of Samhain If you fail If these ghouls are not appeased You will be... Taken by the spirits of the dead!!! By the light of the orange moon In the dark of the purple night We linger in these shadows And wait there, until the time is right... On this night of Halloween We roam your city streets And among the masks of plastic We can finally be free So carve those faces, light your candles Offerings still must be made In the cold October moonlight To us Phantoms of Samhain And if you do not heed these words And refuse these simple deeds Well then, my friend You will be, Taken by the spirits of the dead!

Shouting for longevity, Slamming at the counterers… - upon your dignified respite! Would-be detractors without brevity, Before the wine-dark Sea at night… A pleading to philosophy of commonly renowned, Beating sand and posturing, uncouth before a crown; “Priam please!” Sun and Moon, two sons shall plead, nay, -beg in tandem with the man; “He serves the seas, trust him please, our father; this priest of Trojan-land!” Laocoon “Fear the Greeks, of mind I speak, approval by a van-i-ty; it surely is a death you seek! An asp this horse, gift no more and tragedy in due remorse, I beg of you my call to heed, wooden-burnt this crispy steed, …alight in flame, glorified name; Poseidon shall endorse!” Priests of Apollo “Ridiculous! Worship we must, now bring it to the City thus!” Laocoon “The actions of accursed Kore, Need I remind you all Paris caused this war?

I tore the fabric of space Interrupting my affectionate stalking Spurts of longing, interspersed with spasms of premature ***** In vain, hankering to attain that next level rush *Oh you're a ***** girl aren't you* That's when I was discovered... Her shrieks royally flushing my cheeks with shock -Superseded by pallid chagrin I fumble to bail, Pants entrenched around my ankles Premeditative, Of absent-mind, in haste Prime directive a method of escape Evasion failing Detection: Imminent Reflecting a grim lack of circumspection, accursed ********** Trying to conceal my turgid ******** Her father particularly beyond reason And not fond of my indecency for his daughter Proceeds pummeling me to death with my beloved binoculars Devoid of clairvoyance; I am coincidentally sent outward toward oblivion Bon voyage through the portal Falling facefirst into an abysmal wormhole Its then I voyaged backward through time To the moment of Creation And witnessed the universe **** itself from naught to existence Spewing forth such cataclysmic splendor

A ******
I need only to smirk and you’re mine Anytime If it’s god that you want I have dozens in mind Devilishly divine Bending time like a grandeur delusional Spine   In a mad hatter ectoplas-mystical slime A prismatic drug addict’s first nursery rhyme Of accursed hearse verses of graphic design Now to lay to rest intellect spectacles musing Of selves glorified more than those of my choosing To deify Destiny’s Deathly serenity Plentifully sending me vibrant surprises And penning my ending in violent demises Disguises surmised by the climate arises Girl always there riding my similar waves As I try to save face digging mechanized graves But the cloud tentacles To the depths Drag me down To demented ascension Black holes in the ground Where disciples of light And my huntress in white Vivify me by day Resurrect me at night To instruct and deduct Reasoning in a state Of a being supreme Contemplating its fate

The Sentience on Acid
A morning dew sits on my dearest rose: A shadow of evening's coolness stands still. How gleeful I'd be to remove that chill— That accursed blight, I yearn to dispose. Not in my powers, no warmth from me flows Not matter the measure of my goodwill. Only the sunrise this quest shall fulfill And light, my dear efflorescence expose Always that morning seems ever unsure, Yet surely it comes as the world still turns. Finite be the hours my rose must endure; Nothing this must be allowed to obscure! For surely as in the sky our sol burns, Warmth still exists for my rose to make pure. ~ D.B. Guy (1990 - )

A morning dew
Far away in ancient Jerusalem Stood a garden, long, long ago Home to giant oaks and figs And plants and shrubs of every kind. On every season, from time to time Merrily they would burst into bloom Filling the air with fragrance sweet And fuelling the hearts with joy and cheer. Amid the riot of flashing shades Where Poppies and Pansies held their heads In a corner, there a Lily stood, Sans scent and sans grandeur. A poor loner never once noticed Nor skilled to steal the show, Those, brilliant in shade and shape With contempt openly quipped ‘It’s such a shame She grows among us With such pallid shade And nothing to rave’, ‘Lilies are such lazy lot Giving only seasonal blooms’ Rang aloud their haughty comments Rashly blurted out and blunt The poor Lily wilted in shame Wishing she had never been born. Late that evening, through the garden Into the newly dug up grave A band of people came with lights Bearing someone cut and scathed. With blood oozing, drop by drop From wounds, left by piercing nails The body, carefully wrapped in linen Was the body of Jesus - Son of God The one who bore the sins of the world And courted the most accursed of deaths. The body embalmed was laid inside And sealed with a giant block of stone Soldiers posted to guard the tomb And every vigil so prudently kept. Early by dawn, three days hence While it was still very dark From inside the tomb had come Rumbling sounds and a blinding light. Flowers en masse blinked their eyes Beheld a man, gently walking out The wounds still fresh on his palm And the linen that swaddled, lying behind. As they watched this queer sight In awful amazement, they did see A host of Lilies, white as snow Far more beautiful than any of them Bowing their heads in reverential glee And singing Hosanna to the Lord of Life. All the flora in silent shock Sighted from whence the Lilies came They sprang unforeseen in those spots Where drops of blood from his body fell Then onwards, without fail April sees the grandeur and grace, Of snowy lilies - those delicate blooms Sprouting suddenly from the crust of the Earth Joggling their heads in whiffing breeze, And giving delight to all who behold.

Zeus, your predilection for banishing Titans to Hades... anathema of them--revolt was theirs of you...Titanomachy. Enter Prometheus, second generational Titan, brother to Atlas--Prometheus of whom Titan revolt at first ran no fire through his veins. Thus, Zeus was well pleased and employed Prometheus to put earth to water, water to earth...as to yield man. As so man was, and was unto Prometheus...a fondness entered him of them. And in of passion Prometheus' veins were run through with fire...fire fought fire--thus Prometheus reached out taking hold Zeus' lightning. Hid in a hollowed fennel stalk, to be bequeathed unto man. Torrents of fire now ran Prometheus' veins, and in a fit of infamous mockery presented Zeus with two packets of slaughtered animal parts. A hubris was born in Prometheus that being so halved God-man gave itself fully to that polarity...he gawked at Zeus and bade him choose between the two packets. One of ox meat and innards coated in stomach lining, the other of ox-bones coated in its own abundant fat. Thus Zeus chose, the wretched lesser of the two... inconsumable ox-bones coated by fat. A charged and terrible air cut and heavied all direction, pointing assuredly that Zeus was one given over to the surface of things, a psychological casualty of his own vanity. Zeus overcome with Prometheus' disaffection for the God of him struck at Prometheus' family. At length, this assault could not, would not put asunder Prometheus from the ground he stood. A certain Haphaestus was summoned by Zeus...whose directive was writ in torment. Chain Prometheus to Mount Caucasus...where from on high a sackcloth cloud shall shake loose an eagle, whose homing hunger shall have only a taste for Prometheus' liver. Day in, and day out, that accursed ***** shall be the bounty of itself!

'I am of Ireland, And the Holy Land of Ireland, And time runs on,' cried she. 'Come out of charity, Come dance with me in Ireland.' One man, one man alone In that outlandish gear, One solitary man Of all that rambled there Had turned his stately head. That is a long way off, And time runs on,' he said, 'And the night grows rough.' 'I am of Ireland, And the Holy Land of Ireland, And time runs on,' cried she. 'Come out of charity And dance with me in Ireland.' 'The fiddlers are all thumbs, Or the fiddle-string accursed, The drums and the kettledrums And the trumpets all are burst, And the trombone,' cried he, 'The trumpet and trombone,' And cocked a malicious eye, 'But time runs on, runs on.' I am of Ireland, And the Holy Land of Ireland, And time runs on,' cried she. "Come out of charity And dance with me in Ireland.'

Rain falls on the windscreen in shades of grey brown and fogged-up blue, car become boat in the rain-clogged road floating away like in a Monet, into the evening mess. Frayed nerves, rules break, as dangers lurk. The wiper slow tells its tale own. Irrelevant discourse, irreverent songs, the FM trend for DJ fame. And we have two 'rivers' in our city, swelling in refuse, bolstered by the rain; And we have two beaches in our city, soak in the surf, if you can ignore the rubble; And we have many parks in our city where litter garlands our heroes daily; The last patch of green, cramped between rising heights all around, accursed of dump and construction junk, steals a dying look at the moon late. A walk in the woods, by the mist, by late evening. A stroll, warm, through a field covered in snow. Nice paintings on my concrete wall. I'm told, the money plant is good for one's health. Trees, a luxury for our wealth. These are all good developments. Hyper malls round the corner. Home prices, soaring to Kepler. Please pour in more investment into my country. Guaranteed, riches grow in multiplication. The markets are all about manipulation.

The money plant
(To Ellen Terry) I marvel not Bassanio was so bold To peril all he had upon the lead, Or that proud Aragon bent low his head Or that Morocco’s fiery heart grew cold: For in that gorgeous dress of beaten gold Which is more golden than the golden sun No woman Veronese looked upon Was half so fair as thou whom I behold. Yet fairer when with wisdom as your shield The sober-suited lawyer’s gown you donned, And would not let the laws of Venice yield Antonio’s heart to that accursed Jew— O Portia! take my heart: it is thy due: I think I will not quarrel with the Bond.

Portia
She sits there with her hair left flowing, Staring out to the sea all knowing. Singing till the last light breaks, And darkness comes and claws and rapes. Lamenting and sad her tears they fall, Upon her tail and waist so subtle so small. “Love me forever please the land of men, For in the sea my heart is spent Retell my tale but with a happy end, Where my lover did not bow and bend. To the whims of another lover, Who raptures better beneath the bedcover Whisper lover across the sea, But stranded here my tail will keep me. You had your chance to love and hold, But to the sea my heart you sold." A mermaid that now is not so little, Damaged by a man so vain and fickle. She languishes in perpetual beauty, Never to forget her punishment and duty. For if her tail does touch the ocean, Her heart will falter from that accursed potion, And to the sea she will fall prone, And turn to nothing more than the seas soothing foam.

You people never took me seriously For you, I was just a problem child Who needed to be molded According to your whims and fancies You never saw me as an individual Who has his own thoughts, feelings and emotions My opinions never mattered to you You wanted me to improve my verbal communication As well as my body language But you never even tried to understand me properly It never occurred to you That there is a reason why I am different Or even if it did, you never truly cared What bothered me the most, though Was the fact That you believed you were acting in my best interests Of course, it was my mistake Not to leave this accursed country While I had the chance And seek my fortunes elsewhere A mistake I may probably regret For the rest of my life Anyway, as Arabella Figg once said "There's no good crying over spilt potion" I was a fool to listen to you But I have progressed in life Far more than you would've expected me And not because of you But in spite of you Well, I would love to meet you one of these days And prove to you That verbal communication is overrated Just like you yourselves are We autistic people can do equally well, if not better As compared to you neurotypicals Who are obsessed with correcting others Well, please look into the mirror And just leave us alone Worse than an enemy, is an NT with a saviour complex Well, we can see right through you You may think you are being kind and empathetic However, in reality, you are just a bunch of condescending wankers Who believe they are always right Well, there is nothing wrong in having your own views Just try not to force them down our throats I will end on this note Autistic people are human beings too It is time you learned to appreciate that

Thou wast that all to me, love, For which my soul did pine— A green isle in the sea, love, A fountain and a shrine, All wreathed with fairy fruits and flowers, And all the flowers were mine. Ah, dream too bright to last! Ah, starry Hope! that didst arise But to be overcast! A voice from out the Future cries, “On! on!”—but o’er the Past (Dim gulf!) my spirit hovering lies Mute, motionless, aghast! For, alas! alas! with me The light of Life is o’er! “No more—no more—no more”— (Such language holds the solemn sea To the sands upon the shore) Shall bloom the thunder-blasted tree, Or the stricken eagle soar! And all my days are trances, And all my nightly dreams Are where thy dark eye glances, And where thy footstep gleams— In what ethereal dances, By what eternal streams! Alas! for that accursed time They bore thee o’er the billow, From love to titled age and crime, And an unholy pillow! From me, and from our misty clime, Where weeps the silver willow!

Villain's Role
All it took was three steps up Doors swung open before me I approached Him, who sat still and unmoving. unaffected by Time but ravaged by the pain of doubt and ignorance All it took was three steps forward Then, strength and courage left me Worn-down Beaten by life’s merciless hand My knees sank as Life’s hand grasped my shoulders and I felt his burden My whole being collapsed upon the marble floor The sound echoed and cruelly dealt a strike to my ears, My senses and my soul As if Moses struck the rock with his staff The water came forth Flowing freely from my soul against sallow, weary skin Hands trembling Body aching I closed my eyes I saw darkness but an image appeared ****** and bruised It took all my strength To utter three questions: Why (to the Father) Why does the grass grow, rich and fertile only to provide for those that destroy it? Why does my neighbor strip me bare and steal my coat To leave me unsheltered from the cold wind’s bitter punishment? Why must I walk this lonely and sullen earth While the black crow pecks violently at my flesh? Why? For I have loved but have been despised in return. Who (to the Son) Who is the snake that lies? The brother that prays and the brother that kills? The husband that beats and the wife that endures? And the ****** Mother that reigns over all, even you? Even me. Who? For I know none and all of them. Where (and to the Holy Spirit) Where does the sky end and the Earth begin? Is it where the body ceases to be and the soul takes over? Is it where I made my first steps And tumbled right after? The indeterminable line between sea and sand; Truth and lies Where? For I have looked and looked.   My lips, salted and mad, trembled Pain pierced my soul I felt it all And felt it again My body began to thrash I felt it upon me Misery, sadness, death, despair I became Samson, tearing down the pillars upon the accursed Philistines I raged and roared For hope, wisdom, strength, and faith I opened my eyes And Light filled me

Is it where I made my first steps And tumbled right after? The indeterminable line between sea and sand; Truth and lies Where? For I have looked and looked.   My lips, salted and mad, trembled Pain pierced my soul I felt it all And felt it again My body began to thrash I felt it upon me Misery, sadness, death, despair I became Samson, tearing down the pillars upon the accursed Philistines I raged and roared For hope, wisdom, strength, and faith I opened my eyes And Light filled me

I feel most lonely when sitting at my computer. There is the promise of knowledge, creativity, friends, love, companionship, shared ideals and inspiration. But the reality of constant connectivity is quite different. Bullying goes on outside of school. Oppressive people find each other and a platform to taunt and torment their victims. Idiots band together and spread stupidity like a modern black plague. Intelligent ideas are challenged and the people who thought them up as stupid. Creativity is put down and judged. People are separated instead of united. And love? Love seems to be non existent as the ignorant people who turn on their computers to put down good and promote evil don't even realise that there is a real person on the other side of that screen, and even then some do. My news feed is full of bad news. Full of sexism, **** inequality, torment, animal abuse, war, ignorance, stupidity oppression, child abuse and ultimately hate. I realise the collective imagination is dying when I can't even remember what it is I did before this accursed computer came into my life and took over. My rewards are nothing but imagined friends and fake conversations over text, we're communicating but not connecting, something in me longs to be back when if I didn't meet my friends regularly we lost touch because that is how real relationships are supposed to work. With care, effort, meet ups and real conversation. Emotion instead of emoticons. Care instead of clicks. Laughter instead of likes. When photographs were precious personal memories rather than a trophy of 'look where I am' 'look how pretty I am' 'look at how much fun we're having' and sharing them meant a coffee or a few beers and a trip down memory lane flipping through dusty photo albums and laughing at your awful clothes, make up, hair and the state you were in rather than scrolling back through your online albums alone and commenting on how horrendous your photoshop jobs on some of them are. When people were living their life for themselves rather than living to try and impress others. When it was face to face rather than facebook to facebook. I feel most lonely when sitting at my computer.

Applied rouge on the cheeks Tied a glittering necklace round the neck Putting heavy makeup, Over the stubble on her shaven chin, She looked into the mirror Through its cracks, saw a million bits of her/him Those images sneering at each other She felt trapped in a wrong body, With its contours n’ longings mismatched “Where do I belong”? “Where do I fit”? These questions plague her incessant A rough stone with sharp edges Too hard to be chipped down Cast aside by the mason That can never go into the making of a Cathedral She walks around in haze Life seems a twisted maze Each time she tries to claw her way She sees only walls that hems her in Before her lingers the stygian mist Phantoms of darkness surround her The winds of change swiftly blow Seasons come and go But she is tied down in her chains An anomaly of creation A curse and a taboo Swallowing stigma and abuse Each day waking up with a start Knowing that she is neither a woman nor a man But a non binary... an accursed TRANSGENDER Inviting snide looks And sniggers from onlookers People call her a ****** One divided between the selves A hapless denizen of an inhospitable world Disowned even by parents Though flawed and far from perfect She is human, one of a kind And needs to be seen through the eyes of God!

The rising moon has hid the stars; Her level rays, like golden bars, Lie on the landscape green, With shadows brown between. And silver white the river gleams, As if Diana, in her dreams Had dropt her silver bow Upon the meadows low. On such a tranquil night as this, She woke Endymion with a kiss, When, sleeping in the grove, He dreamed not of her love. Like dian’s kiss, unasked, unsought, Love gives itself, but is not bought; Nor voice, nor sound betrays Its deep, impassioned gaze. It comes,—the beautiful, the free, The crown of all humanity,— In silence and alone To seek the elected one. It lifts the boughs, whose shadows deep Are Life’s oblivion, the soul’s sleep, And kisses the closed eyes Of him who slumbering lies. O weary hearts! O slumbering eyes! O drooping souls, whose destinies Are fraught with fear and pain, Ye shall be loved again! No one is so accursed by fate, No one so utterly desolate, But some heart, though unknmown, Responds unto his own. Responds,—as if with unseen wings, An angel touched its quivering strings; And whispers in its song, “Where hast thou stayed so long?”

"By the by," Said Owl to Fly, "I caught you in Spider's web; I spared you for I loved you so Though my love would like to have fled." "I thought," Fly replied, "That you would ask Not for my gratitude Nor for respect- For what am I? But a lowly black speck to you." "You may be small," Owl's lovesick call Was nothing short of determined, "But then how can I Expect love for I feast on rats and vermin!" "So! Ah! We are accursed us Both meant for solitude: Me for my size (Disregarding the eyes) You for your choice in food!" "Although," Owl stated Not one to be bated, "Perhaps we are not so fixed In five years, or eight We may curse our fate And wonder how we never mixed." "But, I!" Said Fly "But what?" Owl replied "I tell you, I've not been so enamored Of something not furry, Not likely to scurry, Since my last supper's end in a clamor." "So shall we?" "We shall." And Fly settled on Owl And the two built a life of compassion 'Tween Fly's buzzing vibrations Owl found a vocation To reverberate love into fashion.

Owl and Fly Debate the Debacle of Romance
My dear old father, who always loved me the same; my dear old father I lament who died the day before yesterday, just before dawn. Jesus Christ, it is my daily effort to observe the precepts of Thy most holy church in all my acts, in all words, in all thoughts. And all those who renounce Thee I shun.-- But now I lament; I bewail, Christ, for my father although he was -- a horrible thing to say -- a priest at the accursed Serapeum.

Priest At The Serapeum
Excuse me, Mr. Politician Man, who the **** are you to say what information the Government gets at the detriment of mankind anyway? Have you forgotten the Bill of Rights? The 'inalienable' rights we all have? Do they even ******* matter? Do they even ******* exist? I guess not. What the **** are they doing pressing this CISPA ******** Unlawful search and seizure of digital information and they don't even care for warrants. Under the guise of National Security you'd have us all put in Camps or killed just like we did to the Japanese all those years ago but we've moved past that... right? Right? I guess not. We just keep it all more secretive now: The people didn't stand for SOPA and surely not for the NDAA so what the **** gives you the idea CISPA will fly, anyway? Maybe if no one heard about it, it would work... Maybe that's what you were counting on. Excuse me, Mr. Politician Man, who the **** are you to say what information the Government gets at the detriment of mankind anyway? **** you, Mr. Politician Man along with your constituents. **** you, Mr. Politician Man and your endorsements. The Fourth Amendment requires due process precluding unjust search and seizure; but where the **** is due process or justice in this proposed search at leisure? You pass new legislation that augments old laws, so much that they don't even need probable cause, but not new rights nor protections for the citizenry, not surprising given your abhorrent deontology: You'd sooner send drones than diplomats. You'd sooner stage attacks than be peaceful. You'd sooner bail out banks than your citizens. You'd sooner pass a law than change your ******* underwear. What the **** gives you an inkling of the notion that a beloved sociopath Politician deserves your ******* devotion if they pull this sort of ethical rescission? Excuse me, Mr. Politician Man, who the **** are you to say what information the Government gets at the detriment of mankind anyway? **** you, Mr. Politician Man along with your constituents. **** you, Mr. Politician Man and your endorsements. **** me, Mr. Politician Man, like you already do behind closed doors. **** me, Mr. Politician Man for ever trusting this accursed system. Well, who the **** are you trusted making legislation, you can't even overcome ******* monetary gravitation. Well, excuse me, Mr. Politician Man, you want the People to become transparent? Well **** you then, Mr. Politician Man we want transparency of Government: I'm sick of not knowing where Tax dollars go, I'm sick of knowing over a quarter goes to the Military which is funny in a deeply ****** up way because I know I may help pay for the drone that might fly overhead and see me and my friends as insurgents and launch an IR missile to blow us to bits, or the bullet that may be sent through my brain as a distant if more probable than ever result of your ******* legislation: And so I say: **** you, Mr. Politician Man, along with your constituents for making this a feasibility; you're supposed to serve the people but you'd rather put the U.S. in a state of futility. So, on behalf of all those you alienate each day, I wish to extend to you a humble and heartfelt Go **** yourself.

"I can tell you that Dada was a leftist, anti-bourgeois, non-Art birthed from WWI and not some aleatory root to postmodernism off-shot from a lurid acid rain. I know that diffraction can be seen on horizons in the early morning hours of summer along smooth or dentate curvatures and that it can have hues of blue, purple and a soft-handed massage of orange that gingerly applies pressure to your retinas with sugar-water. If only eyes had lips that opened and closed. "It is said that action is the birth of Manyness and that non-action brings one's soul back to the Sage Mind, the universe of Oneness, the cup longing to be fulfilled and how upon brim overflow it longs to be empty once again because of the relationship between Yin and Yang and how one cannot Be without the other and why perspective can change "full" to "empty" so that the vicious cycle can never truly, truly end. The difference between French Vanilla ice cream and plain Vanilla is the degree of creaminess. Fill up a bathtub and let it soak into my skin. "There is no way for me to avoid being prolix about the things I speak about in normal, day-to-day conversation. Science and reason have accursed me to traverse this reality with the utmost care and precision of language and society has forced pseudo-logic down my throat like a bird screeching as it is forced past my pharynx and larynx. Its sounds are amplified, beak-blared from my nostrils, and its wings are violent, stretched against my neck skin, creating a pale-skinned, ship anchor image from my shoulders up. I'll try to sing for you when you reach my trapdoor, I don't wish to eat you. "I do not believe in anything because with everything comes a something, a reason for its being. They are, 'from reason,' 'in reason,' and/or, 'for reason.' There is no escaping this thought. There is no escaping criticism. I will find the Truth, mathematically calculated to infinity from knowable circumstance and perception. I will know everything and I will believe nothing."
