Sedimentary Soul

a.k.a the musings of a troubled mind

Sedimentary Soul

The stony face of a chasm wall,
That bleeds from its scars crimson tears,
That assemble a pool at its igneous chin,
That stands motionless amongst its smiling peers.

This wall stands lofty, mighty, dark,
Foreboding when viewed from a distance,
But for the deserving that venture to approach
To indulge the tears, to them there is no resistance.

For the wall that towers and threatens and mars,
That causes the voyager to err,
Is pliable of face and not hard of heart
As only the worthy few can concur.

The moral is as it always was,
The five senses must feed the mind,
See not only the wall, but touch, taste and hear,
For then the heart shall feed in kind.

well well

it's K here

it's just wrong that we don't have any new posts on the drizzle, i am not quite clear on malice's idea of drizzle but we'll see soon (hopefully)

let's all hope this post will entice/provoke malice to any action other than correct our grammar :)

this is one of malice's old school emails (long before blogs and the like)

FYI: CAPS is a recruitment office in cairo university (just like the one in A.U.C)

and Malice tried to stimulate conversation/debates through email for over a year with little success, failing to do so, he issued this eloquent statement


title: Friends, Morons, Countrymen...


Ave Capsers, those who are to pontificate salute you,

?

I have come to the startling realization that I actually enjoy disciplining you, it serves as an outlet to my various forms of pent up frustration. If you guys weren?t such a bunch of flaming dyslexics, I might be in the throes of ulcer induced agony right now. Thank you.

?

Now that we have the niceties out of the way, let us resume our regularly scheduled verbal castration;

?

It seems that for every bright eyed and eager teen that has ever been adorned with the moniker ?CAPS Member?, there is a drooling, butt scratching Neanderthal staring at a computer screen and thinking, ?hey! I think this guy is insulting someone!? For every outing in which the greatest collection of young minds in the world congregated to discuss the complexities of our time and the nuances of geopolitical politics in the age of star shaped fruit , there are now coffee shops and restaurants that herald the daily existentialist whining of a sad bunch of twenty something who can find nothing better to discuss than the difficulty they face in finding a proverbial ball and chain.

?

Yes, I know what I just wrote has passed 40,000 feet above most of your heads, but I expect you to reply to me saying, ?Dude, I didn?t understand what you said, but your tone was a little insulting??. At which point I will look you in the eye and calmly request you to go suck an egg.

?

Until we beat again,

Yours Insincerely,

?

In the words of the omnipotent mango, a long way is only long if you are not wearing shoes.
All hail the mango.

Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
I am schizophrenic,
so am I. (this one is not his for sure, but i don't remember where he got it from)

May your fridge be forever cold and produce no frost.
