BLACK MAGIC

The conference of High Priests confer with each other as they plot and carry out our demise.
Their primary defence, is invisibility; but only to most.
There are numbers of us privy to their evil deeds, and it is our job to free our brothers and sisters from the grips of these Homo sub-sapiens who have fit their way into an invisible position to where they hold sway to our lives.
They need not use lightning bolts to smite us dead, but they do control our brethren to kill us themselves with their powers of physical and mental assassination and incarceration.
Literal; just not while being seen in the traditional social context which we are most accustommed to.
Who says that the indoctrination we received as small impressionable children is not literally a gradual building-up of mental; psychological; spiritual; intellectual prison walls, from which we can and likely will be chased and be punished for leaving?
I grew up on the fence, so to speak, and the draw of freedom on the one side held an equal and opposite backlash if I were to pursue it; and the fact that if I were to take the leap I was not sure that the pain caused by it would be something I could handle. On the other hand, the knowledge... the feeling in my gut, my mind, my soul; that I could no longer live within the confines of these walls was so irritating I felt solace sitting on the wall, looking down to the ground on either side which is so far down, that landing would hurt; no matter what side I would choose.
Comfort and complaceny; warm blankets both.
Rot in putrid solitude; abandonment within a crowd of other equally abandoned individuals with little to no hope for connection, despite their physical proximity. The pain of this leading to many times violent and irrational behavior.
Freedom from the inner squalor, a sunshine to kill the mold and fungus growing on the decay within
coupled with the pain said catharsis brings, and chastisement from not only the inmates of your former home, but the violence met to you by the prison tower guards who rush to drag you back into where you once were stuck.

We are our own prisons
We are our own guards
We are inmates of our Selves, yet these same groups, if effectively dealt with, bring abouteither
Creation,
or Damnation
