Isaac Matthews at Work
There are no stars shining on me, nor any smiles. I am alone as I wander this path which I call life. Life? -no- Life connotes hope and longevity. This, this is suffering. This is the passion of Christ, this the way we walk our lives. We endure our crown of thorns, our vanities. We have our scars from lashings, our past that haunts us. Finally, we have our crosses, the burden of our living. How is it we still suffer while people scorn us, ridicule us, criticize us? Why, for there is hope in the end. Salvation...in death.
We are born alone and die alone yet why is there a need for a human touch? Does it define us or merely anchors us? I wonder. We please our peers to accept us but if the cost should be our individuality, our sacrifice our truths, what becomes of us but a part? Society is a machine that runs on people as fuel, it is merciless as it burns us to power itself, ever hungry for more people to assimilate. So is why we find reasons to hate the world, to hate the people living in it, -even- to hate ourselves.
Yes I hate, if hate was to be a definition. Hate is not object to love, love objects indifference, hate is merely on the other end of the spectrum. I cannot reside being negligent of everything around me because I am human and this is my life, my world. I have always walked alone in this path, forever contemplating this road which leads to my destiny but how often have I stopped to ponder on a scene of violence and malice wreaked upon by my fellow mankind? We kill each other, we rob people of their oppurtunity and for what? Vengeance...Rage...Greed...Ambition...
Hate
If I were alive before I was born, I'd have dreamed of breathing the air of this earth and I livin in gracious melody to the song of tomorrow. But that's not the case. It has always -always- been a lonely path of suffering. I walk my own road to my end and I carry with me, burdens. I wander into the land of shadows in order to see light from within. I may walk and find it then realize the very thing I have been searching for, definition and fulfillment.
Or I can forever wander in the land of shadows. Them haunting me and whispering to me their own tales of sorrow and despair then finally realizing, I -myself- have become part of them. A mere shadow, whispering, in your ear.
