the liberated

in the dawn of the coming new year
we both know that nothing from the outside will
help within &
with this knowledge, one can suck on an exhaust pipe &
end it all
oh so quickly,
or find a place within which
when strengthened with the will & the
will alone,
can be more powerful than anything that might
make the attempt on this life that
we have chosen---
this new place that we alone have selected cannot be stolen
it cannot be demanded by anyone
it cannot be touched by the corruption around
it cannot be destroyed by
anyone but ourselves.

if you choose to spit on all convention
you alone are liberated
you choose this path for yourself &
you have no regrets---
if you choose to burn all tradition
you begin to write a new history
a new history free of the dirtied & bloodied hands
you begin to breathe again
you begin to smile again
you begin to walk free & powerful where those before have only
slithered on the ground
you begin to demand from this short life what it has tried so long to
demand from you.
