Eon: Part Ii
large gaps &
plot holes make up the
formative years, the childhood, the
teenage chaos & the early
adulthood, but the important
thing is that the world was not
kind to this little speck, this
little conglomerate of
stardust.
an absence of kindness does not
always force one to “take the
higher road”---though society
may want this to be the case,
many differ when it comes to
the opinion that the best way to
deal with a life not asked for,
is to show compassion for those
that beat on you, that rape you,
that beat on you again,
that put you through intense
physical torture, humiliate you,
pass you off like garbage from
institution to institution & take
no responsibility for the wreckage
that your body & mind become
as a direct result of this occurring.
damage takes on a human face &
depending on the charisma that
evolution has shed upon this specific
human in this specific time, s/he
may sink to the depths of submission,
taking all the wrongs done to them
out on themselves, inevitably ending
in suicide---where a small, punctual
moment of the earth shattering may
touch the few people that even knew
this damaged individual existed,
as the candle quickly extinguishes
without a sound---
however,
s/he may be dealt a charisma that fills
the room with hypnotic rage, the kind
which can stir the masses, the kind
which can relate the experiences of
one to the many & with that hold, with
that unmatchable power, s/he may
be able to encourage the rise of violence
not yet measured by any scale---s/he
may bring others to do their bidding
by sheer implanted thoughts, s/he may
personally destroy others one by one
as well, always getting help by those
that will claim later to “have known no
better.”
