When I was young I read fairy tales. Stories of mythical kingdoms
overcome by a feared and powerful force. These forces were always
defeated in the end, always destroyed by the good, the just, and the

kind. And for the rest of time the kingdom lived in harmony.

When I was an adolescent I read history books. I studied the great
empires of the world. And I observed: the good, the just, and the
kind, eventually overthrown in name of the feared and powerful. Thus
reiterating a common theme is history that the biggest bully gains the

most for the longest. The cruel thrive as the considerate die.

Trickling Thoughts

Every creation that mankind devised
Started out as a simple thought in the mind
A few neurons that fired their synapses in line

To formulate thoughts that grew over time

Every invention that humans created

Was once grabbed by society to be judged and then
rated

But what would've become of the lightbulb back then
If Edison had decided that the criticizers should win?

Every sheer wonder built up by some hands
Was grown in the mind into a grand plan
It overcame obstacles and climbed over walls

It fueled a heart up for someone to stand tall

So whether or not the idea seems minute
Use your passions inside to push the thought through
For who knows if your thought will become divine

You'll never know if you keep it trapped in your mind

WE ARE ALWAYS

CQHICS

 

Recently I have been asked the age old question: if you could be loved
or feared which would you pick. Without missing a beat I reply "feared”.
And people laugh, they assume I am joking because no "good” person
would rather be feared. And this particular time I was asked, it was
followed by the question "why”. And I was honest, "ignorance is bliss
but it is not power. If I dismiss the historical reoccurrence of leaders
maintaining power through fear then I am dooming myself to the fate
of all other "good” people. I do not need love if I have control. Because
if I don't have control, someone else will and opting for love will not

save me.”
