they're together

with this (type of [English] writing) treading
the truest words all bundled up

Does the rapist rule his victim?
He does not even rule himself
He only reveals himself
His weakness
His cowardice
His demonic nature
His disgrace
His dishonor
Might rules nothing
Might destroys
Might defiles
Might can steal
Might can not create
Might does not produce warriors
Might perverts them to drones
Might does not command soldiers
Might controls machines
Might is the tantrum of toddlers
Might is the downfall of mankind
Might
is weakness.
Strength, its only cure

Part III - Journeys to Nowhere (Little Lies in Pieces)
We are the nomads,
On a twenty-year journey to nowhere -
of pretty lies and empty promises
of unattainable goals...
Of the castles in the sky,
Swimming in front of our eyes,
being sold by the shiny-seated polyester suit-wearing,
teeth as artificially white as pod people
Prosperity Gospel higher-education hucksters,
expounding on the wonders within
even as the false-front was being emptied and looted
through the back doors.
We are the nomads,
On the road to a well-defined goal,
Only to see those goalposts dissolve like a mirage as we finally approach -
dissolve and reappear far
