The King SPEAKS

Shackled

I wake up in a bright room. My hands and feet tied to shackles. Big manacles made out of cast iron, bitter cold, rubbing against my bare skin. My skin bleeds with every movement; I tear away another layer, further injuring my scabs. I don’t want to give up. I’ll be free. I WON’T GIVE UP. There’s an immense force holding my chest tight, I look down – another chain. It’s closing down on me… squeezing me tight… I can’t breathe… it hurts too much. God has clasped his mighty hand down on me, holding me there, I can’t move forward, not a single inch. Every movement is another pin in the chest, another stab in the heart. My feet bound to the earth; trying to lift the weight of a thousand men… too bad they were only built to carry one. They can’t move either, tied with nails to the ground just like J.C. on the cross. I move my head forward; it’s the only part I can move. It gives me the perception that I can move forward… But I can’t. Not even a little. What are these shackles, what’s holding me down? Where am I? Why is the room so bright? What day is it?

This day is March 29th, 1991. It’s the operating room in a hospital. I’ve just been born. These shackles are the restraints of society, tying me to the ground, not letting me move. I move my head forward again, another lie, another deception. We can only move our heads forward, we think we can move our whole body, but they lie, we lie, I lie… to me. I give it one last tug… nothing. No rings broken, no miracles happen. I stand there, arms stretched in front, shackled. Feet in the middle, shackled. My bare chest bruised and scarred, shackled. My eyes, they bleed, they long for the freedom they deserve, the sparkle in them gone, lost forever. There are blood stains on the shackles, dried up from a war long lost. I stand there, with my head down, body motionless, shackled!

Everything Was Exactly How It Seemed

This sentence is from ‘Postal Service’s’ Song “Sleeping In”. The band talks about how he had a dream where everything was exactly how it seemed, nothing to cover up the truth. I wanted to write this post for quite some time now, but only today’s events gave me enough motivation to actually write it. What if everything was exactly how it seemed?

Today’s society is masked with lies and deceit. Every single one of us has lied once in their lifetime. I’m not saying that’s necessarily a bad thing, but just saying we all have. And those lies cover up other lies and in the end, our society is based upon lie after lie, like a diamond is made of lattice of carbon. I think our society would just crumble under the initial blow when all lies are revealed.

I wonder what society would be like if everyone just told the truth? Would it be a better place because lies won’t be in front of our eyes? Would we choose leaders who truly want to help people? Will it be easier to criminalize people, after all we’ll know whose intentions were what? Would there be no fights because we’ll know that in the end, everyone’s just insecure? Wouldn’t the world understand each other better? My parents would understand me, I would understand them. My friend would understand me, I would understand them. It’ll be like we would reach this new level of communication, this awesome stage where everything is so clear than no one is confused, no one knows which emotion to feel. It’ll be this absolute height where everything’s clear. A state of all knowing-ness where your mind doesn’t wonder if you’re right or wrong. Because all you know is right, no lies.

Or will it just go downhill? Society will fall, and burn into ashes. Will all the truth just be too much to bear? Will everything I want to say to my parents or my friends just crush their hearts and make everyone bitter? Will the fact that everyone tell the truth not change anything? Will people still not understand each other, or just deny it outright? Will we find out that Mother Teresa, noble peace price winner, actually was the most selfish person on earth? Hitler, who was a devil in disguise, had the noblest intentions for the human race? Will the truth just overwhelm us and knowing all the cruel intentions of the world just separate us from each other and we’ll all just live in our little corner? What will happen to humanity? Will we all turn sadist because we realize that in fact no one truly cares about you and that everyone’s just selfish?

All these things boggle my mind, but in the end at times I do wish that the truth was revealed, because I’m just too much of a coward to say all I want to. In the end, aren’t we all? And those who actually do say all that they want, society puts a branding on them – they call them asses, or people who are rude and have no manners.

P.S. on a lighter note, guys would start getting way less because girls would know that we’re after 1 thing mostly.

Ah, to be young again. We’re all so innocent, maybe that’s where all the hope we have comes from. Just thought it was a funny video, so I’m going to post it here.
