I look at the mirror with such dread.
I look beyond what I behold.
Yes, I see a soft-faced man-embodied child;
a man who should have remained a child is what you would probably see
and nothing more;
but I,
oh… I see something far darker than you could ever imagine.

In that dreadful mirror,
beyond the Machiavellic smirk,
that deceitful grin belonging to a Mona Lisa in male form…
Yes, I see much more than just that.

When I look through that God-dammed mirror,
that mirror that exposes too much of the truth,
I see a dark spirit trapped inside the body of what should
and could have been an innocent soul.

That evil demon that resides in me screams
and squeals as loud as the herd of swine
that Jesus himself let the demons possess.
And as much as I desire to break that mirror, the face, my face, will always remain there.

Nothing hinders the coalition of humanity more than the indiscriminate enforcement of one’s own beliefs in the lives of another. Freewill is a human trait with which, unconstrained by external factors, any and every able-bodied man and woman shall make their own choices. Any force or entity that intends to deprive anyone of that right is a tyrant and a true barbarian.
There is only one set of right and one set of wrong; this is invariable. Nonetheless, the choice to abide or refuse these is subject to each individual.
The choice to live a life dissolute–leave it to the individual; as the choice to worship a God or gods, and to live guided by a code of norms.
Let not the liberal preach their views to the conservative, and let not the conservative instruct the liberal on the basis of their own conduct as an example. For no one on the face of this earth–no force other than the forces of nature–could, with justification, cast the first stone.
Let… us let go of the mental chains that bind us and blind us and kill our fellow men, our neighbor. Enough with this ignorance–that one man’s conduct should be another’s to follow, or that a woman’s view be another’s to accept.
Until the day when a voice is heard that the truth is only one and none other, let us respect the view of our brother, without need to accept it in our lives, but let us allow our fellow men and women, by conscience or tradition, to follow the path that has been set before them, by them or for them. Let it never be with injury or threat, that he or she will suffer eternal torment for refusing to abide by the excessive sense of justice of another. No; there is more to life than the views that we accept. We breathe the same air, and though our skin tones and physical traits may vary, the blood that runs through our veins is no more or less red than the other.
With solemnity let us vow that this hate and division will end. If a being up above or down below sees it right to divide us, then so be it, but let us not allow that it be said that the human race was brought to its end for lack of compassion and understanding, that our kind we slaughtered, and our own kind we buried.
