ON THE NEWS
"I mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy. Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that" - Martin Luther King, Jr

"First he climbed up to heaven, Then plunged into the depths of the earth."
ReplyDeleteHere the climax of the darkening is reached. The dark power at first held so high a place that it could wound all who were on the side of good and of the light. But in the end it perishes of its own darkness, for evil must itself fall at the very moment when it has wholly overcome the good, and thus consumed the energy to which it owed its duration.

"This is for the haggard posterity,
the ideas of life yet to come
yet to realize.
Look at the lives we,
this collective ghost,
have lived;
the sins against
generations we’ve commited,
the lines of the history
books we’ve omitted.
Learn. Now.
Our mistakes
are not
to be yours.
Tread lightly in the footsteps
of our lies, my youth."
--Lazarus Foggybottom
