Inspiration out of Boredom- a few poems from yours truly(more may come)
The Mission

All who have ventured forth,
Know not what will happen,
All who have walked the mile,
Know not why they do,
For see not what is truth,
Death is but a whisper from the depths of darkness,
Walk not up or down, be true to all that binds,
Be what is called down and fight it,
To you, there is naught but evil,
All knowing and beautiful is the key to it all,
Be close to the Earth for it shall quake and be a friend,
See what is true, and be not false,
All things are trivial to this time, and are not understood,
But are so connected, they are one,
Bear this at all times and know it.
Death of The Vanguard

The last Hope, the last Chance, the last Prayer,
Torn, shattered, carried away by the onslaught,
Their cries cut off by the harsh vacuum,
Frozen with them are the hopes of all,
Their souls go on, trying to stop, trying to save,
Their unheard cries and futile attempts make the very Creator weep,
They can not leave, their goal is unfinished,
They join the mass, and follow the Scourge,
Praying, hoping, for the chance of final release.
Awake and Dreaming

The words don't come,
The pain rushes through,
Cauterizing the wounds, but leaving the scars,
A life of dreams is all that I am,
The dreams rule me, confuse me, sorrow me,
I drift lost, my sail torn, my rudder broken,
The little control I retain steers me in circles,
The visions push through, only to bring tears,
So alone, so alone, so alone......
You tease me, torment me, you tear me to pieces,
With a touch the love is there, only to disappear with the fingertip,
I've given my love only to be brought to emptiness,
So empty, so empty, so empty......
To be so close and yet farther away than a star,
The pain, the loneliness, the emptiness......
I continue to give the love, keeping none for myself,
Life fueled by hope, lasting as long as there is hope.
Quotes that I've found over the years.
Be careful about reading health books.  You may die on a misprint.
                                               -- Mark Twain
Foolproof systems do not take into account the ingenuity of fools.
                                                   -- Gene Brown
Life's a full-body rubber suit, so don't make a mess of yourself; you're going to be living in that rubber suit for a long time.

My ideal of an agreeable person is a person who agrees with me.
                                                    --Benjamin Disraeli
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure of the former.
                                                   --Albert Einstein
What vision is this, you might ask?  Picture a world of shit......and your shovel is broken.

The Vulcan Neck Pinch is not half as powerful and the Vulcan Groin Kick, but its more politically correct.                                       -- William White

Ours not to reason why, ours but to do and die. --Tennyson
Some personal thoughts
Immortality is but a mind thought away.
Always truth and mind free.

To fight one's self is to know thyself.

A great fighter is one who needs not fight at all.

We walk but stand still; we talk but hear nothing.

May all know our deeds and sacrifices, and forgive our petty wrongs.

The past does wane and sheltered scourges once again ravish the land. The weak do give up their lives for no reason. The brave do perish in wanton violence. Bring forth those who will fight for our freedom. Send the demons back from whence they came. Naught is the fighter without faith; he who fights for no reason but his own self wealth. Bring forth those who will fight for nothing and everything. For they will be the deciders of our fate. Those who will fight not for themselves but for those in their hearts, their dead, and those who will die if they fail. They will triumph over all that is dark and evil.
