I stand in a cold sweat, saturated with the damp fog of my
very existence. Confused and bewildered I wait patiently as the cup of
enlightenment quenches my thirst. All I can hear is the pounding of my heart,
which echoes from within my inner chambers and drowns out the loud screeching
thoughts in my mind. My eyes search for the open portal that leads to man’s
humanity, however, as I come closer to inspect, I see that it is sealed with a
thick dark paste of violence and malice. Realizing that I must find another
way, I do not turn backwards but tread forwards to find a path free from the
insolence of this world. My cup is once again full as I journey on.
