The Abominable Truth
[CENTER]
I'm a pearly white cloud in the midst of a black sky. Or perhaps a black cloud in the clear blue sky!! Makes no difference which, the point being that I'm one and unique; I feel, moreover I know, I believe that I'm more special, more powerful than anyone and anything else.
You call that arrogance? That's because you're an ignorant pig. Don't you too think yourself better than anyone else? But then again so does the pig! Does that make me a pig as well? NO… because I proudly admit my insanity, not a plea to avoid condemnation, corruption is something I'm proud of as well. Shame has no place in my heart and neither does guilt, simply because none of it all is evitable and only fools claim to avoid the inevitable and I'm no fool. That's what makes me special, makes me right and makes you wrong.
You all disgust me in the most indescribable way. If only I could set off to where no man's foot has ever been set. Had I only had wings, I would have flown to the loftiest tree on the peak of the haughtiest mountain to build my humble nest on its highest branch. No, I'm not a bird. All of you claiming to be bright and free, you are the birds trapped in the cages of your own minds. While I'm a falcon and the sky is my only cage. I'm above you all; I look down on you as you admire my vast wings and proud beak wishing you were like me. Only you'll never be, because a small bird can never be a falcon, that's the law of nature and it's as simple as that.
Isn't simplicity bliss? Then why do you, ignorant pigs flee from it as if it were a fatal plague. Why don't you embrace it and cherish the gift that's been bestowed upon you? I might be selfish in my own special way, but today I'm stooping down from my throne to give you the key. Love life as much as you love yourself; love yourself as much as you love life. Listen; shut your blabbering mouth for once and listen, listen to the moon, to the wind, to the little butterflies, to all things you foolishly believe have no voice. Hear what they have to say for their voice will lead you to the truth. And then, only then, when you finally learn how to accept the abominable truth, you will become a falcon.
But I beg of you, if you succeed, though I doubt you ever will, please choose your tree far away from mine. I am one and unique, special and powerful; and I shall stay like that till I'm freed from my mortal being. Then, you and I shall both stand equal before the most powerful of all…[/CENTER]
