Flight Delayed: Part 1

Of Faith and Fury

Oh really?

Like a long

begone forsaken

thaumaturgy

Twice uttered once more by the clergy

As it was, oh so urgently

By the good Lord! Strange urges upon me

For once upon a time I looked down

and underneath me was the grace of a feline

but little did I know that this feline was standing on landmines

Why! Down the line come to find that the time

at which the flight would take off was about a quarter to 2:20pm

as a matter of fact.

Break

You tried to break me down at every step and you wonder why any of my intentions at this point could possibly be good. Trust me, some of these intentions might be... dubious at best. A lot of people treated me poorly, but they're not the ones I'm fighting for. I'm fighting for the ones that showed me the good in life. Because if they can persist in a world like this, that is obviously so mean to so many, they deserve a good life just as I do, and I'd rather be a part of a good life than being the same type of mean bastard that I hate the most. - Unknown

Break

Just like that feline

It was a cause for pause

When they put their grubby paws

All over my back and damn near gave me a heart attack

When they invited me down to the county crime shack

I'd be lying if I said I declined to decline

With so much steak on the line

It was as if what I came to find

Was on rewind with just the power of my mind.Break

About the Creator

Sabien Ruffin

Passion comes in so many flavors. I want a different world. We talk about what we want, we sometimes talk about how we would achieve it, but how often do we get there?
