Characters Within (Interis Dieagolis) 6

Said Ego to Id, "Be daring for a change — try thinking."

Chimed in Superego, "Ego, you can't teach an old dog a new trick."

Replied Id, "Both of you can bite me."

A Covenant of Power

A covenant of power, bonded by hubris,
Manipulates with impunity.

Webs of complexity are manufactured,
In three dimensions, plus one.

Then the machines are turned loose,
To feed upon anxiety and insecurity.

They celebrate the savagery,
And pity what remains.

Companion Today's Tendril...

"Blasphemous dissenters" are those that ask, why? Questions are strength — trust, but verify.

Today's Tendril...

A technology choice that outpaces, obscures, or replaces an ethical choice is a step on a slippery slope.

Today's Tendril...

Sometimes you need to regard self-doubt from afar, so that you can see just how small and insignificant it truly is.

A Scent of You

I lit a candle tonight,

As I do every night.

The candle has a scent of you,

And I'm taken away to a world of us.

I smile.

Then I cry,

Because you're no longer here,

And all I have is a candle — and a memory.

How I miss the scent of you,

On my skin,

After holding you;

After loving you.

How I long for the real scent of you.
