This War of Ours (Part II)
This war of attrition is reaching it's end,
Not a war of spite,
nor a war of fright,
But a war I have to finish.
You, me, and the battlefield I impeach,
Ammunition low, an end to the commotion,
Body moves slow, as if in slow motion,
And ultimate victory is far from reach.
Sword in hand, leaning on one knee,
I am weary, never have been this worn,
I am scarred, my heart forever torn,
I desire an end, I beg and I plea.
Far off, beyond the clouds of ash and soot,
High above the scorched earth beneath us,
Something breaks the dark that's afoot,
The light of peace, here to end my fuss.
The end is near... the fire in my soul lit,

Rhapsody of the Madman
There are many days when I think to myself,
Pondering for hours and hours on end,
walking my brain down a long lane,
We walk together for many a mile,
Until one of us grows tired,
...usually it's I that's tired.
I think in the Kitchen,
In the Dining room,
In the observatory,
In my study,
In my garden,
In my basement,
I think long and hard,
One could say I'M the thinker,
My brain and I trudge on,
Along the endless road of thought.
However, the true question still lies;
"What do I think?" What has tickled my fancy so?
What perplexing topic would give me drive like this?
Well... that, I think, is something very perplexingly simple!
See, i
He's stalking you at night
Snuffing out the candlelight
Paralysing with a scratch
His poison acting fast
There's not much time to wait
He's watching you asphyxiate
The assassin leaves no trace
You're in your final resting place
Curare Kiss of death
A killer without mercy
(Curare)He'll seal your final breath
And send you straight to hell
FEAR CURARE!
He's got you in his sights
There's no point running for your life
His arrow's got your name
There is no way to win this game
FEAR CURARE!
An assassin with no rival
There is no chance of survival
When your name is on his list
You've only minutes left to live
Striking with precision
He makes a cl
We’re constantly questioning our purpose - constantly probing our genesis for all the answers we’re aching for - yet we remain in the depths of the unknown. We plummet into pre-defined ideologies and assumptions decided upon by a group of people, and we abandon the reality that our world is dependent on ourselves. We are our own creators, we are who we should be honouring, praying to, and spreading the word of.
There isn’t only one way, there are infinite ways, and we are those ways, we are infinite. Faith is an irreplaceable foundation of life, although it is faith in ourselves that creates the miracles that we celebrate
I stare hard at the face beyond the glass
"What have I done?" to the face I ask
Dearest scars forgive me you were never meant to be
My peace of mind facade is shattered in front of me
I pray for the days I'm shrouded by rain
My fortress of solitude, a palace of pain
A melancholy walk through autumnal leaves
To the icy cold bite of a winters eve
My dreams in darkness guide me home
To the haven beyond the ice and snow
Thaw now my heart with warmth and smile
Lead me to your hearth I've been cold a while
Undo my shackels of blisterring ice
Flames carress as I'm purified
A wind rises
And, in it,
Life spreads its wings.
Ten years of good
You are promised in your life.
Ten years of love
And of living.
But with wind comes change,
And your ten years will pass.
Happiness can die
Into sorrows again
If that life is ever forgotten.
So let the wind blow you
To a ten years of life
That you promise you will keep and remember.
I think most of us should work on inverting our lives. We’re too preoccupied as a western society (I’ll only speak for what I know). Too preoccupied and distracted to notice what we’re actually noticing. The things we tend to focus on can be condensed into two brackets. (Money) –– which can comprise of work, saving, providing for your family/friends, getting security for yourself and those you love, gaining materialistic worth that make the every day life easier. And finally consumables; which in this case would be food, clothes, shelter, water, and basic resources.
Another thing we focus on that can be c
