THE SPARTAN

this is again a frustrated reaction to the newest in thing...giving up,i dunno why, but it comes surprisingly easy these days..giving up has become more matter of fact than anythin else.. i've just tried to cover the basic facets of the phenom,with as many contradictions as i could probably muster..i've seen fictional contradictions failing..so i've given a historical statistic in this one.. so the next time u think impossible[fuck the adidas ad..lets leave consumerism outta this one..]..think of 300 against 1000,000..and y'no what.. the 300 won..read on..








The Spartan..the biggest superhero of them all.. born in the lineage of the greats like leonidas..the leader of the 300 warriors who held back the might of a thousand persian armies in 480 B.C. at the bottlenecked battle of thermopylae,the armies who at a single fire of all bowmen,held the power to blot out the sun..trained from birth never to give up,never to surrender..imagine,the power of human resolve never to yeild.it dwells in all of us,the spartan..dormant,chained..bleeding to be free but never dead till we are..why does it not rise?in this world of decadence,why is it a bygone concept?why is it that the threshold of impossibility is no longer challenged,least overcome..?its everywhere,where a gardener gives up because of a cardiac arrest,where a father gives up on his errant son,where a student gives up on a paper...where a runner gives up on account of a torn muscle,where a motorcyclist gives up on a speed limit on account of it being too dangerous,where a rock climber gives up on a rock face because its too steep,where a guitarist gives up on account of a riff being impossible to materialise,where a man fears to face the sum of all his fears,where a child refuses to go to the loo at night because he fears boogeyman's lurking in the shadows,where a man gives up the love of his life because he thinks he's not worth it.this is when the prickling chill of rationality begins to sting us all,where the shadow of murky mediocrity fills our bones and the muscles get bogged down under the weight of the fear of failure.our belief is ripped to shreds,every muscle torn asunder by the viral invasion of doubt pushing us deeper in the abyss of insignificant anonymity.the question remains,where is the purpose to drive us forward,neglect the losses incurred,and move on undaunted?when did safety become so important,when did the insurance companies start to deter us from playing major stakes and ration our resources?and why did we allow it?why did security take the place of freedom and why did we stop recognising slavery?why did the government that was artificially born in a way dirtier than the regular ceasarian to serve us suddenly become the master and we the non questioning retarded nobodies?when did the cops take over from enforcement duty to the authority that they have today?when did the public servants form a mafioso so strong in its nexus that it became virtually impenetrable for a citizen,at the service of whom it should have been languishing had murphy's law not intervened so cruelly?and the still more important question to be answered....till when are we going to allow it to rape our kind,tillwhen will this plague of authority not be served with an antidote to deter its fatal ellipsis of desire and power?but i still believe that the spartan shall rise..maybe from the ashes of its own kind but it bloody as hell will..its probably waiting for a critical mass of the ashes whence once it is attained,it shall be inficted on all the powers that be and return them to the rightful state of a blind diseased dog,the only use of which is maintaining order,not issuing it..the spartan shall not give up until the evil is eradicated,until each parliament,each enforcement directorate,each supreme court,each municipal council is either sized down to perfection or razed to the ground,and we shall se a day when men unite in the principles once laid down by the thundering down of the doors of the bastille in the french revolution..when we shall once again revel in the principles of liberty..equality..fraternity again and strive for a higher state of being than the petty bickering that the theatre of international politics is laying forth to us today.
