Infinity's Tusk

I want FREEDOM.

From my head to

the soles of my

feet. I want

FREEDOM.



Like a gleaming

sword of the

hardest, coldest

most highly

polished steel.

I want to feel its

weight and heft.



I desire it as a

man who has just

been rescued from

a angry churning

sea desires water.

See the irony

of it?



I don't want

the limits that

have been imposed

upon me by those

who feel me un-

worthy to have

what all men and

women have a right

to.  



I want to live

limitless and FREE

to explore the

world in all

its unlimited

glory and infinte

possibilities.



I want to feel

as if I can do

anything and

"whatever" is more

than a snotty

catch phrase

spoken by those

too limited to

respond with

wit behind their

vitriol.



I want it to mean

any "thing" and every

thing is or can find

its origin, after God,

in my mind's eye and

brought to fruition

by these hands.  



Let my infinite

possibility, in

its ethereal form,

be as strong and

profound as an

elephant's might.



Where it's fierce

nature is embodied

in years of bonding

and layers of growth

required to build

its tusk.  Long,

strong and filled

with aggressive

portent.



Infinity's Tusk is

the representative

of the unlimited

power of human

thought and man's

perseverance.  What

fight for FREEDOMs

won have not been

born in powerful

nothingness, nurtured

in the hearts and

minds of generations,

and emblazoned across

history's eons with

only the greatest

energy and zeal?



And so it is with

me.  You cannot

take my freedom from

me.  I may surrender

it, but it cannot be

taken from me.  And

I will NEVER let it

be so.  



Don't attempt to

bar or hold me from

my appointment of just

rewards.  I will have

them and with relish

and amid the chaos.

So great is my sense

of self-destiny that

I will be not deterred,

not avoided, not removed

but steadfast and resolved

til the end.  Sword

in hand, mighty, awesome,

and tusks bared.

Sword in hand? Freedom? My feelings say it is slavery!
