"The world is a comedy to those who think, a tragedy to those who feel." - Horace Walpole
I'm downing a bottle
of indulgent fluid;
the nectar of wisdom so sweet,
drinking as if I want to know the end.
Help me find the center
of the fire,
so that I can spread it
through the fields
of their expectations,
leaving behind the ashes of truth,
blanketing the ground;
an unbiased dusting of truth
uncaring for your opposition;
the oncoming storm;
a flood of change
from somewhere unknown,
yet had seen coming long ago.
Follow me into the future
where the skies boil
and the seas fall;
where genocide is committed
against hate and famine;
against ignorance and intolerance;
against corruption and brutality.
Come stand with me with a fist in the air:
a symbol of freedom
in the land of hypocrisy.
D—E—F—I—A—N—C—E:
The mantra of the revolutionary.
