Think the Adder Benign - Shai Hulud

Let truth be told,

If not malicious, the nature of humanity is volatile,

Often thoughtlessly brought to irrational ends.

And I have mused on the future that may effect…

Dark times designed of dark minds.

Now please walk with me, my friend,

this is what i believe and know to be true.

I believe and know fear runs deeper than reason,

That rampant weakness is veiled by aggression.

I believe and know defeat is the order of man,

Resting well in euphemism and excuse;

In biting reality, eternally sleepless.

No, I do not believe roses only bloom just to conceal the thorns.

I merely accept the thorn pricked finger bleeds.

It is foolish to think the adder benign.

Let us walk together in acute perception, wake insight from sleep;

Outside of doctrines, anchored in bitter reality.

I will walk with you, my friend.

We will walk…
