I’m frozen,
locked in place,
that hissing terror,
of impending doom.
Yet I can’t move!
Mother, remove this from me.
Chest tight,
the knowing,
that lurking,
demons
searching from me.
Transmute them within me.
I’m tired of the madness,
the moronic games,
that ego’s play
A raging Braggadocio,
For all to see
and wonder about,
as you prance about
deluded and naked.
Mother protect me as it all burns to the ground
within your being.
Where are the Revolutionaries?
Where are the father’s protecting their sons.
Has everyone believed the bullshit,
and why are they lining up?
So easily fooled again,
as they drop to their knees,
and lift the purple death,
to their deluded lips.
your Master calls,
so you obey.
Mother, reveal human hearts to me.
War, war, always war!
Haven’t you learned,
that nobody wins,
except for the bankers,
who must not have sons,
our souls,
amazing,
how on the bodies of dead goys,
they grow rich,
by mangling
and crushing souls.
Mother, why must it always come to this?
Where are the Revolutionaries,
the marching in the streets,
are you really prepared to die,
for people that hate you
and see you as dogs?
Father, slay my enemies
and the tormentors of my children.
Destroy them all
each and every one,
as they greedily await
the flow of blood,
that subdues their demons.
The blood that will flow into every home,
as families mourn,
wasted lives,
slayed by hubris,
and slayed by greed,
as the elite among us,
slaughter our seed.
Better to die resisting,
then to die impotent,
and whimpering,
better to draw blood
as your own is shed,
to make them pay
even in a stunted way.
Die struggling,
You must try,
don’t let Leviathan
crush your being
and body
without a single blow,
to let it know
its power is muted
by one man’s courage.
“Let us put it generally: if a regime is immoral, its subjects are free from all obligations to it.”

“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? After all, you knew ahead of time that those bluecaps were out at night for no good purpose. And you could be sure ahead of time that you’d be cracking the skull of a cutthroat.”
― Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago 1918–1956
“It is a human characteristic, which has been richly exploited in every era, that while hope of survival is still alive in a man, while he still believes his troubles will have a favorable outcome, and while he still has the chance to unmask treason or to save someone else by sacrificing himself, he continues to cling to the pitiful remnants of comfort and remains silent and submissive. When he has been taken and destroyed, when he has nothing more to lose, and is, in consequence, ready and eager for heroic action, his belated rage can only spend itself against the stone walls of solitary confinement. Or the breath of the death sentence makes him indifferent to earthly affairs.”
― Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, The First Circle
“It was Dostoevsky, once again, who drew from the French Revolution and its seeming hatred of the Church the lesson that “revolution must necessarily begin with atheism.” That is absolutely true. But the world had never before known a godlessness as organized, militarized, and tenaciously malevolent as that practiced by Marxism. Within the philosophical system of Marx and Lenin, and at the heart of their psychology, hatred of God is the principal driving force, more fundamental than all their political and economic pretensions. Militant atheism is not merely incidental or marginal to Communist policy; it is not a side effect, but the central pivot.”
― Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn
