As I Lay Sleeping
by Goldstar I was awakened in my dream and found myself in a cave-like atmosphere; the stillness of the air was suffocating, the silence deafening, and my feet were as if on soft sand, and lo and behold in front of me appeared writings from nowhere as if written on a wall in fiery orange. I began to read the words as they appeared, feeling compelled beyond choice to do so as if my vision and interest were manipulated by something other than me. I have brought forth to you upon your shores a new kind of man. Never seen before as to their magnitude. In the froth of their wake you shall find lies, deceit, theft, destruction, and abominations, diverse in nature, and strange to you. They shall stain the land, and life upon the land and you will know them well for death accompanies them and appears under many names in diverse places and serves their aims. Their robe shall be luck but lucky beyond normal thoughts of it. You are commanded to heed my words, for this is how things are to be. I now am erecting on my earth a new throne and my breath shall be the air upon it. I shall fortify a anointed one who is anointed with an oil that was manufactured by the corporations made by the sweat of the brow of the masses for the consumption of earthly things by mankind, he will lay the cornerstones for that which is to follow, the laws of the masses shall be the soil on which these stones are laid, and a cloak of darkness shall cover all activities and helpers in this endeavor so that no one shall see the construction. Earth shall be isolated from the stars and the heavenly bodies so no development can enter there. I will elevate servants to aid in the changes that I require so my will can be obeyed. To aid my servants to obey I shall send them messengers with gifts and bribes of all description and manner to ensure my wishes are met and they do not awaken from their slumber. They shall be seen as a cowardly and mindless lot, neither caring for their fathers, mothers, sisters, brothers, and mankind but satisfy themselves by feeding their own gluttony, basking in their ego and superiority until I call them to become my whores and concubines to beg for my favor, these shall be my most prized soldiers. After the foundation is in place and the masses are unarmed and separated in their thinking and speech so no consensus can be found then the dreams they possessed shall be cast asunder and they shall be separated as wheat from the chaff by the wind of my anus so that slavery or nothingness shall be their lot. Under the multi-colors of, righteousness' and morality there shall be wedges created to drive between men and women so that women will not be able to speak without fear and men will speak only from a position of power separating the two as never before so that men will not speak out in the behalf of the mothers of their kind but when confronted just smile knowingly and slowly turn from them and walk away. And the children shall suffer and be enslaved. A great machine of darkness shall grind out my decrees and secrecy and deceit shall be the order of the day and all will be encouraged to betray and aid in the persecution of their brothers under many keywords to give the betrayers a feeling of supremacy for the moment in time, which in turn shall reduce their lives by many years as they waste away as the grapes on the vines becoming raisins and grist for my mill. Uncertainty, fear, anxiety, and confusion shall rule the masses, as my machine grinds out the desolation of the earth with it's poisons even un-to the water shall it grind placing a greater demand on it than the rarest of stones, and no one shall find its purity satisfying as in once upon a time. As these things are done, a throne will be built, the likes of which has never been seen, upon it shall I put a clown before you to dance and give folly to logic, understanding, reason, thought, and speech and gestures will be his trademark. So that all will be amused and the warnings from those with a open eye shall not be heard. At each side shall I place executioners to do his bidding and stand them as pillars before the masses; one white to represent the day and one black to represent the night then no time will find his hand un-involved in the slaughter of humanity and its creed; humanitarian thinking, generosity or sympathy for life too shall be blown away for there will be no room for it in the efforts of earthlings to survive. The efforts of my legion shall go un-hampered as they cast asunder the eastern morals that diverted the masses from me, Christian, Muslim, Hindu, and Jew and they shall be replaced with a more stringent dogma; then the story can be re-told of my capture of Persephone and being whisked away to the seat of my domain on the moon of Jupiter, which shall become once again exalted and known as the place where in I dwell and all shall bend and kiss me on the lower quarters for my favor. You have been selected in this timely fashion to join my army to bask in its glory and have all you wish and desire, however the dreams of your greatest grandfather down to your father which was in their hearts. That dream of paradise you carry within you is distasteful unto me and you carry that dream of your forefathers which stands against me within you but I will erase it if you but smile for me at this time and you shall bask in more than you can dream others will fear you and you shall want for nothing. My eyes filled with tears and overflowed all down my cheeks, my head as if on its own lowered, looking at the sand on the floor, and I felt my heart shrink and my whole being began to collapse inwardly and shrink as if in upon itself and I felt myself becoming a grain of sand and being among the other grains of sand upon the floor of this accursed place. Then abruptly I awoke, every part of my being felt shaken, as I looked around seeing my own room, my body regained its composure, and I slowly exited the bed and room and went to the kitchen and prepared myself some coffee moving as slow as molasses in the winter-time still quite shaken and drained by my ridiculous dream. Damn how silly to be shaken up by a stupid dream! I sipped the coffee and turned on the television and was struck motionless at what I saw and heard as the news reverberated around the room, there was a pain in my chest as if struck with a sledge hammer knocking the breath from me, my eyes filled with tears and overflowed down my cheeks like rain and weeping un-controllable both inwardly and outwardly frozen solid in time. My nightmare continued. The Memphis Mystic
