WHO IS THE VICTIM?
I had to understand the weak—those victims of the slaughterer. As I was the slaughterer—in another space and time! I was a warrior—I fought for what I believed was just—for the glory of that reason— the reason which I don’t remember anymore.  And every time my blade approached my sheep’s necks, it was certainly not to shave or groom them—but does that pretext my need for the meat?
I must leave the sheep in the city of Willows—knowing, now, that someday my Lord I must meet. I’ll leave them in His presence, in peace. Also, maybe, build them a hedge from that tree I butchered—to protect them from the heinous! The outfitter fox is rarely me anymore, but, sometimes, it would be thee. Isn’t it the rule when we care for something we should set it free?  
Running wild— in hoaxing paradoxes—we are trained to endure to be.

RISING ABOVE MY CONTRADICTIONS!    
Under the ambiguous star of contradictions and multitudes I was born—a holy choice?
A Capricorn—innately mystic yet a strange voice! Its symbol is an upper goat that strives for the heights of earthly skies, yet, its lower dolphin yearns for the depths of heavenly seas. Where is that balance and choice’s ease? Shall I call it fate and lie stretched in between? On the surface, tormented, yet, risk clean! Or shall I “rationally” plunge into the unseen? Killing a part of the self is quite mean! But a choice imposes—the promise to capture the dream!
Then again, what if they can both live? Can’t one explore the skies and the other the deep waters through the same heart beat? Isn’t the soul especially lean? And why would I limit myself to the visions of one?  Can’t my mind stand the heat? Or do we simply feel groundless when we’re complete?

My main message is if we fight our inner daemons, learn to forgive and love ourselves, do and attract the good; then we can reach our inner peace, where all other blessings stems from. When we reach this point, we do not have the need to fight or hurt one another, thus, tolerance, compassion, acceptance, and hopefully, earthly peace. The whole idea is to increase awareness on what really abides in life, and hopefully better people and world.
