The ides of March approached rapidly with great anticipation.
Bestowed upon time’s constant perpetual dance, patience has no place amid the need to demolish the gnawing incapacitate that held ambition to a pause.
A revolution against cowardice, for the valiant never taste of death but once.
For what is known as a vibrant culture
There amongst resided two revolutionaries that contrasted this phenomenon.
One of them, with bold might, plot alongside the other.
Though their differing ages were apparent physically, their minds were all too similar.
The younger of the two swayed the elder, yet the elder not refused the sway of such delicious deliverance.
For, many centuries ago, there lived two. They staged their own revolt against cowardice.
The men of the past held their daggers high—
their shame nonexistent upon the knowledge of the enormity that the downwards thrust would bring
that they repeated again and again.
Modern times tell a messy tale—an interconnected, violent shout pleading for the reassurance of existence.
The people stand by; as they watch in bewilderment, unbeknownst to the sheer intensity that the two reborn schemers promised to bring long ago.
The people squirm amidst the pressure of a shortened run.
All while the conspirators celebrate their shortened run with their own splatter to tell of the impatient rage that brewed so immensely within them.
The nurture of a larger state proved futile in the eyes of the already developed stubbornness that man hold so dearly
For the deepest betrayal never comes from an enemy.
It is not he who deals the first blow whose cut runs deepest.
It is he that picks his dagger of choice and lunges towards with great determination to leave nothing but a carcass of what used to be
For every modern conspirator, a day earlier from the irreversible gash in time—one that will never heal to perfection.
Mankind witnesses the turbulence of the everlasting wound, yet seeks no form of darn.
Humility is forgotten amidst the heavy need to instigate and inflame even after such sullen juncture
Of the timeless dilemma of the fickle nature that mankind possesses, there lies contingency giving its deserved guffaw towards the mass of negligent existence who are so unconcerned by the unceasing consequences of the wound that remains far too stubborn to heal
Amusingly, the one entity who knows of the everlasting wound amalgamated alongside the conspirators.
Tedium mass tear apart the conspirator.
For his involvement, for his pride, for his audacity, and for his wretched bad verses.
Pluck his name out of his heart for he is far too mad.
Pluck, pluck—for the stinging reasoning of such acts is far too immeasurable, in its rawest form, to bear being recognized.
Mankind—all alike.
The siren calls of bliss lead to the depths of ignorance.
No greater than the other
Including the deviants that showcased their rage raw.
Each proposition has its counter.
No matter how far one attempts to shy away from their own liability.
Albatross gives its serenade of admonish for mankind to abhor.
But as the terrain of negligence festers,
The susurrations of the conspirators’ ring callous toward amenable assemblage
For the timeless wound remains—adamant, unyielding in its pandemonium.
i dont think we talk enough about the fact that at the end of lotf EVERYONE was hunting. its a perfect way to tie in jacks representation of tyranny and authoritarian ruling: how at some point, everyone becomes indoctrinated into violence under an authority figure which encourages it. not only does the violence from the hunters affect the island, it also spurs more from ralph, and it demonstrates in the end that everyone was even just slightly culpable for the events on the island.
I will never finish this 🫒
“I agree with Ralph! We've got to have rules and obey them. After all, we're not savages. We're English! And the English are best at everything!”
Favorite element?
Oof. Asking the big questions. Probably Caesium? Because it just sits there in oil all like "hey dude, I'm chill, lick me." But you should not lick the Caesium for it is deceitful and tastes of bang. Honourable mentions: Magnesium is fun. Helium is pretty great but we've wasted so much of it. Tungsten is obviously up there for all the boring reasons.

Five Years.
Five years, and I still trace the shape of your presence— the way your fingers dance along the rim of a glass, the quiet rhythm of your breath when the world is still. You hum when you think, a sound softer than silence, and I have memorized every note.
Salt air clinging to our skin, laughter slipping between waves as we walked. You pointed to the stars as if they belonged to us, as if the sky had always known our names.
Italy woke beneath golden light, our footsteps weaving through streets older than memory. You reached for my hand without thinking, as if it had always belonged in yours.
Now, the kitchen glows in the hush of evening, the warmth of oil and spice rising between us. You stir the pot, I set the table— a quiet harmony, a life built in gestures. I watch you, I listen, I learn you. And after all this time, I love you still.
