"Â Â Â But ancient Violence longs to breed,
new Violence comes
when its fatal hour comes, the demon comes
to take her toll â no war, no force, no prayer
can hinder the midnight Fury stamped
with parent Fury moving through the house .   "
-Â Aeschylus, Agamemnon.
***
I should be akin to knowledge,
Perhaps that will quench my thirst for peace,
Kindness is often misinterpreted,
That is for Misery,
Oh, to be a lonely soul with the breath of the Almighty,
Kept me company for the length of my journey,
The breath of old ignited my passion for beauty,
Kept me company in the presence of sovereignty,
I should be akin to wisdom,
for misery is the tragic downfall for the silence without form,
Oh, to be the flowers that withered through eternity,
With the message that our hearts will be conquered by pliancy,
Indeed, screamed my soul,
Misery's company.
Namaste.
Amen.
