There are those who live their lives, and would judge all others, by standards excremental (to paraphrase the Esteemed and Right Honourable Master At Arms James A. Keating).
Their mettle never tested, forever self-excused by the acts of others, their only measure of strength is relative to how far an audience can be drawn to stoop by the millstone of sympathy and misplaced atonement. Be not so base as to find reason in bowing to such is an abdication of responsibility for laying absolute claim to this title — Greatest Living Authority of Myself.
But as in all things, it’s one thing to see it, another to be it.
Authority
By LFM
No wise writ tome rides any shelf
By greater scholar of Myself
Than I, my deeds both foul and fair,
Their scars are solely mine to wear.
My dreams are sweet and ne’er impugn
What acts I’ve played before the Moon,
And choices made beneath her gaze,
She assures were but a phase.
THIS, though short and terse, really says it all. Excrementally et al, these eight lines should be plastered allover especially as we approach doom’s day. Bravo.
Well said, I appreciate a direct message.
