    Manifesto of a Continuous Thought

    It’s the summer of 2004, and the golden daffodils
    have already reached their peek after burning away
    the spring. Children now play in the streets and
    the women would shout over busy roads just
    to tell another of the gossip; much to the driver’s dismay.

    Your father would spend most of his time down the pub,
    but you didn’t mind because it meant more time by yourself.
    Sitting in the room, playing mind games
    and asking yourself random questions: ‘where’s the humanity?’
    Neighbours would smile synthetically against the pale

    face of your contempt for them. Little did they
    know that you were God, and only you mattered?

    …Fuck this ‘holier than thou’ attitude,
    and spend a night within the four walls of your own room.
    Confined within your own boundaries that prevent you
    from unleashing that creativity, that destruction,
    that enigma that only ‘God’ can utilize. Only then,

    after your own voluntary confinement can you expect
    yourself to be any better than another person;
    but keep telling yourself that, prick,
    and tolerate no more tolerance.
    We should learn to adapt our own being to those of others.

    We should learn to embrace the cultures and
    feed our own intuition of knowledge;
    for knowledge is not power.
    Would knowledge win a battle between you and 9mm?
    Surely not – Obviously not! You would be a fool to think so.

    Hitler was not intelligent, yet he managed.

    If you could post a bigger signature picture you might even be able to reach into LA's post and read it.
