A Seductress' Soliloquy... We tell lies when we are afraid... afraid of what we don't know, afraid of what others will think, afraid of what will be found out about us. But every time we tell a lie, the thing that we fear grows stronger. However... Truth is a luxury afforded a precious few; falsehood holds up a reputation in place of its straighter brethren, and the simulacrum stands in for the real thing. We all know this, of course - rumors are our stock-in-trade - but sometimes it's good to remind ourselves. Sometimes we've been dealt straight but we're so bent upon outing the bend sinister that we discard the truth like a bastard child. I am not surprised that here, Now I find myself at the cornerstone of monotony. For all the shouts of their own power, beauty, and intelligence, when I press lips and whisper- none can identity- no, justify their own arrogance. Instead they all insist on being martyrs for the cause of platitudinous and the mundane clings to their breast like a nursing child. I curse myself for being benevolent. With lips of rouge I gave them a choice: To either serve me, or the demon of inadequacy. But lo and behold, they court the monster they're familiar with. What's the purpose of playing chess when the pawns are rooted in fear of possibly transcendence? They will sit, wither, age, and be content with never growing drunk on Satisfaction. So where I sit, on this throne of preponderance, has the legs bolted and nestled, clutched to the floor made of the bodies of the jaded, and arms outstretched reaching to caress the periphery of Supremacy's duchess. Watching the last petals of the new dawn's rose fall, covering up the Burgundy of the undesirable with wrinkled Vermillion. Comfortable that she, I am pregnant with the child of their extinction. |
