Of petty perceptions and heroes

Tales of mighty foes and valiant heroes…

Ponder on the idiotic perceptions of mankind about what is good and what is evil!

When in the morning you awaken and take leave for work, tell me:

Where are the fair kings in the shops on the roads along?

Where is the evil foe in the mines below?

And say, where is the white knight and the gentle princess in need, for when I long to be rescued or be the savior of one in peril?

Petty conceptions of our fantasies. Renewed tales of baleful times!

Look! Do not seek too far abroad!

There are acts of heroism and malevolence all around…

For even the simplest smiles and the mildest curses carry the seeds of good and evil.

PS: Meh, I like the final point, but the overall "consistency" is second rate. Sorry. :)

A mix of thoughts

Do you feel the sun rise in the morning or do you lament the fall of the moon? A curious journey through the flow of time, bouncing off the wrinkles of this old sphere, our temporary home - the blue planet. Have you gone out today, breathed in the fresh air of spring? The cleansing air touches your lungs and triggers a new sensation within - you feel alive once more; and once more your woes vanish into thin air. The ground we stand and walk upon, a mix of earth and seeds of life. There exists another world, on a different scale and with another purpose. A plain field of grass I desire, a horse and a saddle, to ride towards the horizon, discover, breath and rise to new heights with my soul. I am a free man; no human shall dare to bind me. I will tear apart the chains of bondage and rise my hands towards the sky. For this world and the life forms on it are my responsibility. A scream into the empty space in front of me, a cry for help or a call for charge? Everything we do, ...

Words inspired by a failed year...

What do you want me to say? I have nothing for you. I have nothing for anybody. I have failed so many times at so many things I stopped counting. You want me to be “normal”? To behave “normal”, to act like society expects me to? I’m not that guy. I’m not that person. I’d rather wallow in dirt rather than accommodate to what the people around me expect me to be. Yes, I know what that means. I know what this kind of way of thinking will eventually lead to. I don’t care and I mean it. It’s not that I’m unaware of the consequences, I am, don’t worry. It’s just that I stopped worrying about things I may or may not achieve. A diploma, a marriage, a good life and a good fortune… no, everything I need is simple. If there is one thing I need to be aware of it’s my lack of submission to the truth of my existence. I’m not afraid of dying alone. I’m not afraid of never finding love. I’m not afraid of not making enough money. The only thing I can do is try. And as long as I try, it doesn’...

And all spins around once more

When I stop for a moment and look around myself… The thing I ought stopping to do in the future. Maybe. Or maybe I should do it more? I don’t know. I should get help. But help costs money, or at least useful ones do. The ones you get from “family” and “friends” is as cheap as Alkaline batteries. I’m confused. Irritated by all of the development going on around me. I’m sad. I feel the pathetic factor grow stronger. I fear. I’m afraid of landing in the gutter. My ambitions now seems nothing more than pieces of paper hung up on an imaginary tree’s branches… awaiting the next breeze to tear them away. We are but voices to be smothered. People without worth. Lost creatures wandering the surface of the earth wondering about the purpose of existence. Is it strange that it should be the people detached from the bonds of society and humanity who question their being the most frequent? What comes down to earth, what goes up to heaven? Who knows. Or does somebod...
