A Velvet Resurrection

I want to believe in the nobility of the human spirit. I

want to believe that mankind is essentially good and that

the horror I see and the horrors I hear about are simply

the last crisis of a dying spectre that has haunted our

fragile globe for just to long. I want to believe that we

are about to peel off the mask with which this spiteful

god has been frightening us. I want to believe that we

will not dance on his defeated rotting body for that

would grant him victory in death. I want to believe that

we will peel away the masks with which we frighten each

other. I want to believe that no new spectre will replace

the one that died and that we can stand alone and respect

one another love one another? respect and cherish life in

all its shapes and sizes while continuing to evolve. I

want to believe that mankind will never be too arrogant

to abandon it's quest for the ultimate answer. I want to

believe that even I could answer this question. I want to

believe all of these things? But you caught me at a bad

moment and I can't.
