lies much deeper reasons for being as such. And so within
hidden deep within so also lies a true noble warrior.
THE SYMBOLISM BEHIND THE MASK
The Mask in essence & in all actuality becomes
more a part of who the wearer is... than the
"REAL FACE" that is leering from behind the Mask.
For most of The Masked Men through out History were Justice
Seekers,Freedom Fighters(i.e.Zorro, Batman, Lone Ranger Types)
As where most of the Top Gladiators who chose to be behind
the Helmeted Gladiatorial Mask.Many of the finest Gladiators where Ruined men of Noble Lineage
sent on a Noble Mission that sought out Liberty, Freedom
& Justice even if it took going into an Arena to do so.
For the Arena sadly or happily was the only place
where they could get a fair chivalrous fight One on One
without being ganged up on by evil cowards or am-Bushed!
It also was more importantly in sacred obligation to the dead.
And now a sacred calling forth to all "Out From The Grave"
hath been given for every eye to but finally "Come & See"
and truly gaze within the magic mirror of reflective truth
at the divine truth that lies within.
Thus life becomes transparent against the background of death,
and fundamental social and cultural issues are revealed.
For...
Anything you can do, or dream you can, begin it.
Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it. - Goethe
A PASSIONSWORD ARENA COMPETITION SMILE TO ALL
Looking up I saw nothing
But blue in the bluest sky
And now its creeping across my eye
Going down in my mind, down in my mind
I'm high and I'm hopeless
So help me to get untied
Fast asleep now I'm going blind
Falling down in my mind, down in my mind
Just fine...Emulate the style
~ A Competition Smile ~Now I'm running, not looking
And opening up my brain
Where its easy to lose my name
Looking dumb in the rain, dumb in the rain
I'm hoping you'll notice
That no one else helps me grow
Oh, its not easy to let you know
What I'm dying to show
Dying until you know
Pretending all the while
~ A Competition Smile ~Now I've thrown something far
And it haunts me like a curse
I'm like a stone falling hard
And I'm only getting worse...
Looking up I saw nothing
But blue in the bluest sky
And now its creeping across my eye
And going down in my mind, down in my mind
I'm high and I'm hopeless
So help me to get untied
Fast asleep now I'm going blind
Falling down in my mind, down in my mind
Just fine...Pretending all the while
~ A Competition Smile ~I'm hiding high...I'm hiding high...

BENITO QUEAND TO ALL THE OTHERS THAT THEY HAVE MURDERED
(May they all finally R.I.P)
But they shall do so only after
the full cup of Vengeance is drunk dry.
Thus Eternally Bound In Life & In Death Forever
& So As Always...IN CLOSING AS LONG AS IT MATTERS
"I SHALL DANCE A DANCE OF MURDERERS BEFORE YOU"Our ability and inclination to enrich the present at the expense
of the future, and of other species, is as real and sinful as our
tendency to further enrich the wealthy at the expense of the poor.
- Herman Daly
And So Sadly...
Man has lost the capacity to foresee and forestall.
He will end by destroying the earth. - Albert Schweitzer

DEATH DEATH DEATH
COMES SWEEPING DOWN
FILTHY DEATH,THE LEERING CLOWN
DEATH ON WINGS DEATH BY SURPRISE
FAILING EVIL FROM WORLDLY EYES
DEATH THAT"S BORN AS LIFE SUCCUMBS
WHILE DEATH & LOVE ARE TWO KINDRED DRUMS
SO KEEP THE TIME UNTIL JUDGMENT DAY
AN ACTOR IN A PASSION PLAY
WITHOUT BEGINNING, WITHOUT END
FOREVER MORE, AMEN.
Thus also...
I have found a friend, freest of Spirits
Born in hard prisons and
abiding their like a sleeping lion
For even in the darkest and crassest times
Liberty trembles in the lines of poetsAnd affirms itself in the pages of thinkers
And Burns solitary and magnificent
In some men who can not be assimilated
by the world around them.
For Liberty appears as abiding purely
And invincibly and consciously
Only in a few noble spirits.
I didn't ask
They shouldn't have told me
At first I'd laugh, but now
It's sinking in fast
Whatever they've sold me
Well baby I don't want to take advice from fools
I'll just figure everything is cool
Until I hear it from you
It gets hard
The memory's faded
Who gets what they say
It's likely they're just jealous and jaded
Well maybe I don't want to take advice from fools
I'll just figure everything is cool
Until I hear it from you
Until I hear it from youI can't let it get me off
Or break up my train of thought
As far as I know, nothing's wrong
Until I hear it from you
Still thinking about not living without it
Outside looking in
Til we're talking about it, not stepping around it
Maybe I don't want to take advice from fools
I'll just figure everything is cool
Until I hear it from you...
SO TO All THOSE TRUE FRIENDS & GLADIATORS OUT THERE
ONCE AGAIN WHEREVER YOU ARE "TILL I HEAR IT FROM YOU"
THUS I WILL FOREVER REMAIN OUTSIDE LOOKING IN EVEN IF...
I STAND ALONE...ETERNAL SACRED ARENA SAND IN HAND
For my name is ...Zero, No-mad, The Wanderer,
some call me No-Man, my true name is thus unimportant.
"But I am not no-one. I am a noble warrior. I am a lead Gladiator."
Once I would have rebelled, would have tried to escape.Now I am
just weary to my very soul. I have very little to no fight in me
left but I’ve found solstice in the knowledge that to the highest
degree & the biggest factor in battle is how large and noble your
mind, heart & soul is.
Thus I Gladiator Zero now stand in the center of...
"the Arena of the Sacred PassionSword" and meditate,
concentrating on & envisioning the life that I have
lived so far & the accomplishments I have achieved
through out my existence.
I then drew myself up, each bit of my power and
presence filling the Arena, and I state this, with
all my dignity, strength, honor and courage.
"Come & See & so join me once again within the center of...
the Arena Of The Sacred PassionSword, eternal sand in hand.
The beating heart of Rome is not the marble of the Senate.
It is the sand of the Coliseum. - Gracchus
For...
"Alone of Angels Death has no love for gifts,
Libation helps you not, nor sacrifice.
He has no altar, and hears no hymns;
From him alone Persuasion stands apart."
~ Aeschylus (525-465 B.C.) "Niobe" ~
So May The Force Of Truth, Freedom & Liberty
Be With You Always & So Be Thus Eternally...Signed Gladly, Sadly & Tragically
At The Silent PassionSword Blades Edge
We Bitter Over Bitter Sweet Gladiators
Of The Society Of The Sacred PassionsWord
For there always comes it seems...
a focal point in a persons lifetime
when all seems clear and bright shining forth
in divine wisdom's grace-filled awakening like
the divine light at the end of a dark tunnel.
