the years ahead

there is no doubt that the struggle is real. beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men...
there is an awfulness to reality that makes us all sick when we are unlucky enough to see it for the first time and the truth is that it never goes away after that...
some of us may never see it...and though they go through life ignorant of the truth...they even seem happy...
but there can be no true happiness without true freedom and this is the thing that we all lack...
the awfulness is that we have been conquered. by money, celebrity and status, and by pseudo knowledge masquerading as wisdom....
those of you who have seen it for yourself know that hard work is not rewarded...it is expected.
love is rare and precious...and trust and loyalty are things that can disappear in an instant.
we are all in a dire condition....
we are all suffering terribly for the mistakes and blunders of others and we have no voice to seek reparation and no authority to ask it of. we are abandoned. and our future seems bleak.
there is no other way but the path of freedom. We must learn to summon the courage to walk it righteously and not let our emotions lead us to vengeance or the settling of petty scores...
what is at stake is the right of all people to live in peace and harmony on this planet...it has been all but annihilated...
my pain is immaterial now...as i see so many suffer under the gun...reading every news story as if it were a half ass obituary...and too many of them are
the path to freedom will be even uglier than what we have seen thus far...
the crooks and liars will blame everyone but themselves...but we all know better
i am not a citizen or a soldier. I am not a cop nor a robber...and there's plenty of cops who are also robbers...
there is no room for an honest man in rome while Calligula rules...we know we will be cut down if we speak...
i have nothing, and was born into absurdity with an insane notion that i would be treated fairly and loved by my fellow man...
obviously this has not been the case and I suspect it never will be...
what have i ever done that is worthy of admiration? and who cares? Will i be able to survive the years ahead? Will i decide to wear armor or go naked? I do not yet know...and it troubles me...
