Because I sympathized with animals...
This thing came to pass where I was envious. This thing came to pass where I thought I was not free. This thing came to pass where I saw people were not free. I perceived there to be some great shame, was I wrong? I was ashamed of my own...
Owning My Humanity -- Anger
I've retconned the titles of these entries, and decided to give them each a theme, in order to help them retain a sense of seperate identity, so that they don't all blur together into one great mess of words. Today's tale deals with my impotent rage...
Owning My Humanity -- Idealization
Bestiality. Do I find animals sexually attractive? It's a weird question. I don't find... living things, attractive. Not even humans. Maybe once. Maybe when I had hope for a successful romance, I snuggled and hugged--maybe at one point I even craved...
Owning My Humanity -- Anxiety
I am in a considerable deal of ongoing pain--and while that's not a particularly engaging way to solicit an audience--pain being what it is--I feel it important to qualify my position. My pain is that of concentration, and of feeling it constantly...
Owning My Humanity -- Commitment
"Eventually we all have to make commitments to the things we hold dear, or risk losing them entirely." I had thought about this, and questioned--'do I value being a person'? On the one hand, you have expression, art, communion with friends and...
Come With Us To Gomorrah, The Flesh Is Weak
Once you've become a Gomorran; accepted their blood's course in your veins--the changes don't stop. It's like taking a crap--something you can't reverse once it's begun, without hurting yourself. I wasn't sure if I wanted to go back, at this point....
Come With Us To Gomorrah, Opportunity Knocks But Once
What is the reality we dream of? I sat pondering this, scraped and scarred in the dust, as I watched my fellow man putting bullets through each other's brains. On a better day, in a better context, maybe it was giving your life for your country, or...
Monster Called Man
"That's despicable. And you 'worship' this entity?" "The concept, anyway. We worship the strength our animals provide us." "And you... 'turn' yourselves into these things?" "You would see it no differently; converting to any other faith." "Few...
Foxhunt
Woke up this morn, got up, idea was on my plate No time to contemplate reach for the moon A sordid imagery forced within my face Undid time Counting days, countless nights independent Time erased, glass goldfish bowl cage On this solid...
Dispersal of the Prince
"Why don't you embrace this power--let it overcome you--turn you into the foul-smelling creature that you can be..." "Disgusting!" "It feels fantastic, though--the power of an animal." "No, give me back my hands!" "They're not yours anymore. They...
Of Two Minds: On Two Species
"Well, here we are again." "You dragged up this crazy stunt--to what, to prove a point?" "To display a conflict of a human mind, for posterity, I suppose." "Another vulnerability to present our enemies?" "It is time we move past that fear. There...
A Conflict of Minds
"Why would you want this?" "Because." "Just because?" "Because I want..." "What, to escape accountability? Responsibility? Animals have those things too." "Leaving aside for a moment that human beings 'ARE' animals to begin with..." "But that's...
