Blow the horn, the war is on.

Today I feel the urge to blog. Not the need, not the intention but just the urge.
I am typing this with zero knowledge of what my next word will be, or the structure of the next sentence that will follow. This time, my whims take lead and my limbic system controls the reigns.

Fight. Fight it out. Fight it to the end. These mottoes seem to be driving the course of my life for quite some time now. Oh yes and not to forget: This is a fight that needs to be fought alone.
Yeah, particularly the last one.
They will not stand by you. They will all disperse like little ants. They will walk out on you mid-battle. Then it is just you, your sword and your shield against a battalion. Fight bro, stick it out till the end. In fact, you are the only one person who will not ‘give handle’ to yourself. Every other damn person will.
                                                              “Et tu, Brute?”

It’s overwhelming. That sword will bend and the shield will succumb. People will fail you, your soldiers will die and your ammunition will run out. However, the show has to go on, and its time to fight bare-fisted. Clench your fists and grit your teeth, in full knowledge that your only solution is brute force.
                                            “Be not like dumb, driven cattle;
                                                   Be the hero in the strife.”
It is not about who stands in the opponents court. It is just about what is at stake. Sometimes, the game is played You vs. You- and one side HAS to lose. You could be your own nemesis, your own undoing.

 The essence of the matter is that your reasons will change, your armies will change, your stratagem, your battlefields, your prize…every thing will change. But the fight? Yes, that will go on. The fight against the mucus in your respiratory tract when you struggled on your first breath will become a fight on your deathbed against your last breath. Your main strife will be what lies in the middle of those two. So blow the horns, the war is on. Make it count!




PS: Wow. I let go, and this is what stumbled out of the closet. This is an unaltered article, completely free from pre-meditated ideas, typed out in roughly 20 minutes.
