Quote Challenge-Day 1

Thank you to angelagagz  over at Fuck MS for nominating me for the 3 day Quote Challenge. A fellow Canadian (living right next door in the province east of me) she is strong and changing the path of her life. You really should take the time to pop over and check out her blog.

I found this back in January while I was in the depths of my bout of depression. It spoke to me because even though I could not see the forest for the trees, I knew that I would not be there forever. And it is still true today.

When things get difficult I need to remember that I am not stuck there. That as long as I continue moving forward my destination will change.

Dissension

Silent dragons flare

screaming across the sky

acid iciness raining down

as all do bend

with righteous fear.

Afraid to raise one’s head

to voice opinions true

worried that the axe will fall

and corruption will still brew.

Stare ahead

brow creased with concern

fingers tapping an SOS

as the world turns to blood.

Rivers rising

fields dying

supplies deficient

as spoken promises

spiral through the air

disipating.

As a toddler whose toy is taken

screams and beats his fists

he throws himself upon the funeral pyre

without it being lit.

This horror playing upon the stage

is but a man

and not a demigod

as he does believe.

Once the world is torn asunder

no one left to degrade

sights will turn from unbeaten foes

to enemies seen at his feet.

Scouring.

Killing.

Emptying.

Glee incalculable.

Annihilating

any who dare to dissent.
