Life, death, and the promise of everything that comes between…
This is a story of us against them.
The old Rooster versus robots.
“Give ‘em hell” or live trying.
Repetitive? maybe,
but this is:
THE WAR BETWEEN
LIFE AND DEATH.
A war older than gods or men–and after more error than trial I have finally learned my role in it.
In galaxies far and wide, God chose Jews to be his people in the struggle against inevitability–an unending quest that could no easier be refused than it could be accepted. We are trapped in a conflict that would pit many against us, while pitting us against only ourselves and time. That’s right, our crusade would not be against any group of people, for all people share in exactly that which we are fighting for. Life.
So cliché.
So Die-chotomus.
Its pathetic really–and I’m sorry.
I know a lot of you had far greater expectations for these archives than to find out that all of it is nothing more than a prayer book for the “we ain’t dead yet” generation. But there it is. Yes, in these ramblings I will waste your time recounting how I spent my days rampantly running, jumping and ultimately dying along the random streets of America praying to live just one more day.
ABSOLUTELY PATHETIC.
But I must insist that this quest to record my follies has not been undertaken on my own behalf.
Liar.
Ok, not entirely on my own behalf.
To grasp beyond the self-importance of this undertaking I must point out my enemy:
Logic, reason, even fantasy and dream cry out for an escape–a promise named Death.
Many are the lies are told to justify our prayers for an end to come.
We even gut our corpses and hide them in sanitized prisons to deceive ourselves from the obvious:
That everything that dies, one day comes back.
It sucks, but there it is–the reason why the robots with all their servos and whispers along wireways can’t win:
Life is inevitable. 1
Death is only an afterthought.
This has made him, Death, white with bitter rage.
It is possible that this is where this story truly begins.
Foot Notes
- Many will argue the claim that “Life is inevitable.” I invite them to try. Planet earth is amazing. In this life time, I would have no other planet beneath me personally. But planet Earth is only one part of a living, breathing ecosystem of planets, stars, galaxies and universes. Even if humans or the Machines manage to destroy ourselves, or all life on planet Earth, Life will go on. Atoms will move, interact, change, and create something new again.
