Landscape with Fall of Democracy
If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher.
As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide.”
- Abraham Lincoln
SHAMERICA YOU CHARLATAN, YOU RUBE,
When it comes time to write
Your fall, let it be said
You leapt giddily off the edge, and took bodily the rest,
For reasons lost to sense,
Like lemmings trailing blindly
The worst among us all.
But...
As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide.”
- Abraham Lincoln
SHAMERICA YOU CHARLATAN, YOU RUBE,
When it comes time to write
Your fall, let it be said
You leapt giddily off the edge, and took bodily the rest,
For reasons lost to sense,
Like lemmings trailing blindly
The worst among us all.

Humanity, whatever once you were...
Humanity, whatever once you were,
Has gone the wayside by.
Share ye a coffee, share ye a tea,
Share ye a sigh and wonder why.
Tears will cry until they dry. Oh life,
However once you tried,
To make of men their better selves,
Has been, by stubborn choice, denied.
Let us now play it as it lies- humanity,
Whatever once you were, is for the birds.
To live now is to be absurd. So be absurd.
Has gone the wayside by.
Share ye a coffee, share ye a tea,
Share ye a sigh and wonder why.
Tears will cry until they dry. Oh life,
However once you tried,
To make of men their better selves,
Has been, by stubborn choice, denied.
Let us now play it as it lies- humanity,
Whatever once you were, is for the birds.
To live now is to be absurd. So be absurd.

An excerpt.
ACT ONE : SCENE 1
“But what can a decent man speak of with most pleasure?
Answer: Of himself. Well, so I will talk about myself.”
― Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Notes from the Underground
"He was born with a gift of laughter
and a sense that the world was mad."
- Rafael Sabatini, Scaramouche.
A stage shrouded in darkness. The rhythmic thump of darts punctuates the silence.
Thnnnkk
...

Life Is Like A Saveloy!
in my late 30's, i returned to education, having left school at the age of 15, after attending 14 different schools, the first two in Holland. i did my degree joint hons EngLit/History, but i'd been told by head of Sociology, that i would of been perfect for a Youth in the Community degree. but i lived in N. Wales, had no transport, with a limited bus service4 from my village, it was a miracle that i managed to get to uni, never mind a regular career. i did the degree, squeezed out a 3rd, and had no idea what career path to go for. there was a test, a few hours, to determine what career would...

A Day In The Life Or How I lived Through High School
(1982-1986+)
Yeah I'm old ... but I remember those days vividly. I was on natural full hormone therapy so a lot of my time was spent staring at women. Braless, panty lines, bending over, walking away, sideways into button bloused caches of mysterious wonderment. I learned how to look a girl in the eyes while her nipples poked through her T-Shirt. No small feat even today.
Sex seemed even more everywhere than todays online porn culture, with most advertisements screaming sexual innuendos and double entendres like a middle school boys club. I genuinely...

Home At 1am Or No One's Name On That One
I could have left earlier, but I hated going home. At 15 freedom had narrow windows, which I pushed to the limit and beyond. I was James Bond with all the gadgets and prescience. Zukof ... Alan Zukof ... lol
I was hyper aware and in great shape, though I didn't think so then. There was always better around the next corner, next bend in the road, next girl. A fatal flaw that I used to drive me then, until I learned better. Feats of athletic wonder did little to impress gangs and bullies on the...

Personal Update
Not looking for sympathy, just explaining ... been a hell couple of weeks personally ... sadly becoming more frequent with this random ass disease ... so am (ok) ... just hard to focus on other things when you are trying to immerse yourself in things that help you forget the pain ... last December and June were similar so I expect more of the same and each a bit worse than the last ... and the in-between times are their own roller coaster of lesser, but no less frustrating issues ... when I don't post or write now, 9 out of 10 times it's because I'm struggling with above ...

untitled 8/19
there are times when
one must be willing
to destroy
all that one is
in order
to become
that which
one might be.

Finished the draft. Now looking heavily on notes
The chapters are short, so I must elaborate when needed. I don't know if this will be a novel or a novella, but I'll have to find out how much I wish to elaborate on.
This will be simpler than it was years ago when I first started.
I have all the notes, all the information inside my soul.
Forever and ever.

20 Chapters To Go
Finished Chapters 11 and 12. 20 chapters to go on Free.
They are pretty short chapters which is why I'm going to look through all my notes I've accumulated over the years and see what I can find.
The chapters nonetheless are congruent with each other and mirror each other perfectly.
Each even chapter is one where it expresses her life elsewhere; each odd chapter explains her life back on Earth and what led up to "the event."
The event that would change how people view things forever.
