Vinegar Part One

a metaphor; imagine the sea is a representation of you, of your life in this personification, the waves are representative of pain, of our strife avoid the turbulence above, a place so close, so different, a place so frenetic towards the chaos, the calamity of the waves on the surface , remain apathetic there is no need for the negative emotions, all they are; unwanted commotion let them be calved from us like icebergs from the glaciers, doomed to wander the ocean ebbing and flowing, melting slowly, growing more miniscule with every passing day until they can't hang on, until they've all gone, until the last one has faded away on these thoughts of sorrow, these thoughts of hatred, you must never, ever bide just relax, just breathe, just give my way a try, the icebergs, they will be cast aside I say this genuinely and true, I mean every word I say, each one from my own heart my intentions are pure, a plan to bring peace. it's simple, this knowledge on you I impart; in the quest for decencey, for compassion, to be remembered as a remarkable man don't follow a misread book, a profiteering man, don't follow someone else's master plan for the motivation should not lie in a fear of hell below nor a promise of heaven above no, the inspiration for our causation comes from deep within the sea, within us, it's love.
