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!

Catch Me If You Can!

Human, being a social animal, is often faced with the question: Who can you really trust? It’s hard to explain when you can trust someone because there is not set criteria. This is one of those mysterious of life which you can only learn through experience, and luckily you won’t be burnt too badly. I was talking to one of my friends and the topic came up, and I remembered the “Trust Exercise” they always show. You stand with your hands open and let yourself fall back, and the person you trust has to catch you. The conflict is that, you should trust them enough to catch you because in your mind, you fear falling.

So after my conversation, I was thinking about the test. I realized that the test needed some modification. Let’s say, the person you trust tries to catch you, and you do fall because he wasn’t strong enough. Does that mean you can’t trust the person anymore? Ofcourse not, he/she tried his best. On the other hand, what would be a real test would be if you trusted the person enough to give him another chance. Yup, let yourself fall again knowing that there’s a high chance you will fall again. That my friend is trust. Trust or Stupidity (Hmm, double meaning?)

But really, trust is just like that fall. You take a chance giving the person a chance, because you really don’t know if he/she will live up to it.

Good to be back to my random ramblings!
