Defiance on the Cusp of Darkness
A rising squall of fear washes over me in a stormy night of
vision, demanding my submission to the consuming presence of dark shadows and
raging fire.
My essence, no more than a speck of sand in a desert of
souls, is swallowed up by forceful currents, dragging me down as its prey to
consume my spirit and leave me barren…I must break free…
Panic and anxiety builds, and does not allow thoughts to
settle…there is a cauldron of noise in my mind tearing my soul apart as its
searing touch descends on me like a shrieking childhood nightmare that raids my
core existence…Egoic thoughts from a million minds rush in and crash upon me
like shards of glass, their voices screaming for my allegiance to the madness
they have embraced.
Eyes tighten in defiance for my own preservation, turning my
back on the fear they command as I stand vigilant against their scorching onslaught; fists raised with broken chains, soaked in pain, shouting, "You shall
not prevail! …You shall not prevail!".

About this expression: This expression deals with the struggle to
maintain sanity and independence within an insane world where non-conformance
to the established tyranny is treated as a criminal act that carries a minimum
sentence of verbal stoning by the programmed masses…

Here is a fitting song by David Roberts to go with my
expression.
David Roberts brings back the craft of story telling through
music with “Last Stand of the Giants”. The theme of the song leans on popular
myth and folklore on the surface, but deep within, the listener will recognize
a parallel to what is happening in the World today. The lyric leaves a profound
understanding which is what makes this song extra special in every way. ~
