the problem in today's society is that the truth is in short supply and people love soft lies more than hard truths
It is indeed a curse to dream as you walk amongst the dreamless
I am not afraid to die because I know heaven is a place of artists, musicians and poets
Be not afraid life with all its despair, pain and unhappiness is just a crucible wherein your brighter dreams are conceived, shaped and born
On Paper

some call it poetry
but it is just pain
on paper

"The Poetic Assassin
I had this terrible nightmare; I dreamt I was a politician and they were dragging me off to parliament
Empire always overreaches itself and thus dies by its own hand victim of its own ambitions
The power of a corrupt government is located in the ignorance and indifference of its people - rjs
A patriot fights his government for his people whilst a traitor fights his people for his government
Behind every wolf in sheep's clothing is a trail of dead sheep - rjs
Not every smile is genuine some are just the bared fangs of wolves about to eat you - rjs
Elections; when the sheep get to decide which wolf will eat them - rjs
Until sheep become wolves the wolves will always win the war - rjs
Woe to any sheep that hunts with wolves - rjs
A sheep that walks amongst wolves is called dinner - rjs
A wolf may be a friend when he has eaten but is a wolf when he is hungry - rjs
Take not for friends wolves and bankers; they both have voracious appetites - rjs
The worst kind of tyrant is one that is righteously wrong
