occult believers
obtain obsidian blades
volcano's black blood
23rd August 2020
* Solidified lava which cools rapidly forms the crystal,
Obsidian. It's synonymous with spiritual rituals,
used historically by witches, carved into swords.
Isaac Newtown apparently has a more contemporary
association with Obsidian.
* Obsidian is described as a color in my reference book,
'The Secret Lives of Colour' by Kassia St. Clair 2016
* Black, with hint of transluscent olive green.

Haiku Color Alliteration
What keeps me calm in the chaos
Is knowing that nothing bad
Last forever
What keeps me calm
Is having enough faith
To know that this to
Shall pass
Even giving thanks
For waking up
In the morning and
Seeing that I’m alive
What keeps me calm
Is knowing that I
Have choices in life
Others is not that lucky
I found the time to
Search my soul and
Got to know myself better
I have dreams and values
Being thank-ful for all
These things is what
Kept me calm in the
chaos
THE BATTLE I’M FACING
IS A VICIOUS ONE
POP-UP PROBLEMS
TRYING TO RUIN MY FUN
IT’S LIKE A NAT
THAT WON’T GO AWAY
IT KEEPS COMING BACK
WANTING ME TO PAY
THERE’S NO REASON
FOR SUCH CRUEL ACTS
YOU JUST WANT TO HURT OTHERS
WITH YOUR SENSELESS ATTACKS
ITS OBVIOUS TO ME
THAT YOUR LIFE IS SAD
YOU’RE MISERABLE AND UNHAPPY
THAT’S WHY YOU’RE SO MAD
BEWARE OF THE PAIN
THAT YOU CAUSE OTHERS
CROSSING TO MANY LINES
YOU’LL SOON SMOTHER
GOD IS THE ALMIGHTY
AND HE DON’T PLAY
HE’LL RIP YOU TO PIECES
AND MAKE YOU PAY
YOU’LL SEE IT SOON
WITH YOUR OWN TWO EYES
WHEN HE COMES DOWN ON YOU
AND IGNORE ALL YOUR CRIES
YOU CAN’T ESCAPE FROM
THE EVIL YOU DO
INNOCENT PEOPLE HAVE THE RIGHT
TO LIVE THEIR LIVES TO!
By realizing your mistake
Is taking the first step
In your life, moving forward is the key
Moving forward with
Faith and prayer
Knowing that everything will be okay
Concentrating on the positive things
That life has to offer
Having faith and focusing on happiness
When you Realize
that nobody’s perfect, only then
will you overcome your mistake
I’m fighting for my life
I had courage at first
I had strength
My faith was strong
I had lots of confidence
Years later I woke up to
A life fill with hate
From jealous eyes and faces
Coming from all directions
My strength began to weaken
My faith was challenge
I had begun to lose my self-confidence
My problems seem to overpower me
And me not knowing
Where to turn
I didn’t realize when it happened
Until I began to look over my life
I tried to figure out where I went wrong
I never notice
That through the years
It had even happened to me
I’m feeling crushed and
Pushed pass my limit
A limit that’s too much for one person
Why should I bare this
Undeserving pain
Undeserving sulfuring
I began to look pass some things
And saw all the good
God had done for me
So I pushed pass
The darkness
Into the light
He began to bless me
Because of my fight
And my trying times
My life made a
One hundred degree turn
Out of the darkness into the light
I’ve suffered
A lifetime of pain
Pain so strong it could
Drive a weak person insane
Years of problems
That jumped from one to another
Problems so piled up
It’s like no other
Stressing me out
To the macks of my being
Thinking that my
Life is not worth seeing
I’m tired of suffering
I just want to live a life
Not wanting to continue
My life in strife
