"Only in their dreams can men be truly free. 'twas always thus and always thus will be."
Carpe Diem.
Nothing more than false hope and the possibility it promises, as real as, cars of sand.
A call to act on boundless ambition inspires the populus,
however,
let you be reminded it is the same "tragic flaw" of hubris that has caused the demise of many men.
Ambition caused Icarus to fly to close to the sun,
he found the reality of Carpe Solem.
Perhaps, same way man shall find the reality of Carpe Diem.

Farriz Parwez Poem
"I have never seen a greater monster or miracle in the world than myself."
Ego.
It is this that makes or breaks a man.
Ego, much like the "dagger of the mind", pushes man to do things, it thought impossible.
It has been the blade on which many a man has died;
And it has been the step on which many men have reached the summit of their being.
It was Hitler's ego that pushed him to the brink of achieving Nazi dominantion,
It was Hitler's ego that pushed him to initiate Operation Barbarossa.
It was Hitler's ego that caused his rise,
It was Hitler's ego that caused his demise.
It is a double edged blade where both sides draw blood,
but neither are ever satisfied.
If religion says, ego is the reason man shall perish.
I say, ego is the reason man flourished.

I still stand on the same intersection, as I did that day.
I still stand, this time I know I am waiting for someone else. However, my heart feels that not her but you, you shall come.
Come out of hope, despair and fatigue.
Maybe you will fulfil the unsaid ambitions of our heart, your heart and come.
I grow restless each day with your absence. That absence, that loss meant to be a learning lesson is actually a grief.
However, maybe it is a lesson.
Maybe it is teaching me you shall never come back
Maybe it is teaching me that certain things don't need to be wrapped up in a tidy little bow. Certain things are best kept messy and untidy.
For if these boxes are opened again, they may devour the opener whole. Common sense and worldly knowledge tell you to keep yourself from the box.
Maybe in this case worldly knowledge reflects that of God's, wherein one must not open what's meant to end.
Hence, be forth. Give the "other" a chance. The "other" may become "you" and you shall become one, whole again.
The heart that "one" took away, the "other" may replace. However, no one expect "one" can do so, if you do not let the "other" in.
May you wish to be whole, good friend, i counsel you let the "other" in however, do not lose the part of "you" that remains while you search to make "you" whole again.
