For a moment close your eyes
don't think of your peers and generate no disguise
know yourself and know it true
ask yourself what would you do
say a man holds at you a gun
would you fight him? would you run?
to contest a man with such deadly power is insanity
unless you deny your own mortality
open your maw and let loose the roar inside
heaven hell life death you have all been defied
humans let violence reign and the globe plunder
yet when i bear my soul i will tear the world asunder
lightning will flash but there will be no thunder
the living dead who see me will stop and wonder
and the humans in their moment of dismay stricken of their mirth
will fall and tremble while i etch them from the very earth
blood flows beneath and above my skin
my screams and theirs make the most terrible din
i am something more than man something more then the eye can see
i am something more than man something only me
i am the starving hunter stalking
i am immortal death walking
i fear no man and no killing tool
he who stands before me is the ultimate fool
he holds a gun and tells me to be afraid of him
with a thought his life could end his body broken his mind would dim
his sould dispatched to an eternal lake of fire for a hell of a swim
but this is all in my mind; I am afraid of him
The moment is gone now so I can open my eyes. When I do I see this man in front of me, he demands my wallet and my money. He points at me his gun and tells me to hurriedly comply. My fingers twitch in fear as I hand over my valuables and I utter a wordless prayer that I will remain unhurt. The man takes his ill gotten gains and runs away and I am left standing. Perhaps I am not an immortal being of limitless power but instead I am only an ordinary man living in a world filled to overflowing with them. I am struck by the thought that I want to be more, I want to be someone important and something powerful. Before I go back to my daily routine I take a moment to ponder how. Thats when the answer occurs to me and I suddenly have the solution.
For a moment I close my eyes.

I have no idea why, but I really liked this.
having said that, It's 8:20am (10:30am) and I'm still REALLY drunk from last night.

Hopefully, the next time you get mugged, the mugger will break your hands so you can't post this nonsense anymore.

Homer: "Hey, Flanders, it's no use praying. I already did the same thing,
and we can't both win."
Flanders:
"Actually, Simpson, we were praying that no one gets hurt."

Just a little pre-mugging advice from the Simpsons...

This is what I would describe as "Dr. Zeuss on an acid trip".
I like Dr Zeuss though so you can have a +1
