The Good Fight

*

You wan'na know why I am not a Mystic?

You wan'na know why I am not a Spiritualist?

It's because I want to fight the good fight.

It's because I want to stand up and say this is wrong!

I want to stand on the battlements like a warrior king and say;

"Into the breach my friends! Many of us will die today, but we will die for a good cause! For one that is right and just! And those of us who live past today will show their scars to their children and they will say to their children that their Forefathers fought the good fight! And maybe, just maybe we will bring some light into a dark place. And maybe, just maybe we will defeat the powers of ignorance and illuminate evil and show it for what it is! And people will not forget, as they are so obviously doing over, and over, and over, and over, and over, again."

No, I am not a spiritualist.

I am not on some path toward self realization.

I am a warrior crying: "To arms! To arms! The Idiots are coming!
