Id

Another presence roams inside me, its thoughts presses into my mind and its desires rot into 
the core of my soul.  Its desires and wishes are only pleasures filled with pain; I repel its 
offers of a gratifying but bitter intent.   Nevertheless it never wavers from its path to tempt 
me into its void of a pit, it whispers violently and sweetly “I know YOU better than you know 
yourself, so why don’t you let your hand move freely and feel the warmth it lust for, let it 
mark your face with its deeds.”  I fear his words, words which perhaps may have truth 
hidden in them, no matter how false and delusional they may seem.  But I am not what you 
think I am, nor will I ever be what you tempt me to be. “Tempt you, no I am merely guiding 
you for you are no different than this stout man who says he will help anyone in need and 
here he is indulging himself in front of these outstretched hands of famished children’s; 
you’re just like him, nothing more than a hypocrite who wants peace. Your just like everyone 
else in this world, you let this society pick into your minds and weed out the truth, and what 
do you do you idly sit until your nothing more than a puppet for their amusement.” Know I’m 
a hypocrite who wants peace, is it because I don’t fall in line with the rest when they say 
recycle and save energy, is it because my eyes view peace on a grander scale then doing 
these small deeds,  these small deeds that they still don’t accept and only will show progress 
when it’s too late.  “What makes you think your peace or any peace at all will resolve our 
problems, peace has only one flavor, but war has so many flavors it produces such as 
genocide, hate, anger, poverty, hunger, and so, so much more.   Its best yet is death; I ask 
you how peace can compete with such a potent flavor, when peace itself has but one taste.  
A taste, a flavor that will eventually fade away in the mouth of all humans like all unwanted 
products that cast them away from their comfort zones. Why you may ask because they 
choose to create a heaven on earth but this heaven is none other than one riddled with sins 
and lies.”
