Quotes

~The Fall by Albert Camus~

"You are only excused for happiness and success if you generously agree to share them. But if one is to be happy, one should not worry too much about other people -which means that there's no way out.
Happy and judged;
or absolved and miserable."

"In any case, we cannot be certain of anyone's innocence,
while we can confidently pronounce everyone guilty.
Each man bears witness to the crime of all the others:
this is my faith and hope"

"... football matches and the theatre which I have loved with a unique passion, are the only places where I feel innocent. But who would accept that such an attitude is permissible when it is a question of love, death or the wages of the poor?"

~Waking Life~

"The idea is to remain in a state of constant departure, while always arriving."

"The worst mistake you can make is to think that you are alive when you're really asleep in life's waiting room."

Humour of the day

Provide me with good review,
perhaps then I shall quit my pretence,
paying you back with worthy trust.

But wait!
Who expects innocence shall be advised
to die then live again.
In the world of madness,
only madness is allowed,
and brutes survive the days and nights.

You'd better hold no grudge to tears and past,
you'll only gain your shoulder pain.
And with this ode of joy I share,
my darkest humour of the day.

hipocrisy

The new currency of life,
it takes over the notes and coins.
It's sinking deep, it's running wild,
with no wastage nor restriction.

They confess as they go, o yes they do.
But it's the heart you should dig deep.
The mouth, the sound,
all blow pretence,
the dirt has yet to be revealed.

It's pathetic my belief, I admit.
For kindness is something I fail to fathom.
For all the pure shall be left alone,
and let the judges be busy with this humblest vice.

victim of time

Victim of time, scraping for dime.
What's worth pursuing is to be fined and dined.
And so this commercial world tells us.

The outsiders drift into the unknown place,
never belong, forever shunned,
for a life, fighting to be alive.
Should they create their own lodging,
build their own community?

Oh no, those who claim themselves "normal" and "great"
would so harshly judge that there wouldn't be a home.

"Be yourself", "chase your dream",
"You can be anything you wanna be"...

Hipocrisy of society...

beauty in a mess

My faith chokes me dry,
live to no end, for days to be preyed.
When the rest of it all stand still within
the shadow of the doubt,
I'm lying naked embracing the rushing sandstorm.
If tears do manage to escape,
it would be nothing but drops,
each to erase residue of pain,
leaving the body to state of numbness.

gutter rat

Hardly wish for death,
nor do I wish to ask time to pause.
What I do wish is to know why
I am wishing at all,
to understand the reason
of my wanting to escape life.

My head is perfectly sane, I believe,
and it is also aware
that there can be no other route than this.
It would be one or the other,
and would be followed by one after another.

Does reality shape our consciousness,
or is it our heads that invent reality?

Trying to find the core,
fighting with sharpened intentions,
and yet we're thrusting blindly like a gutter rat.
Running head first to a trap specially built for our comfort.
