ENTER THE DRAGON

ENTER THE DRAGON

Walking the line between right and wrong is a tender footed affair fraught with hidden agendas, two sides to the same silly story, finger pointing, character assassination, embellishment, self serving discontent and is a proverbial mine field littered with unexploded lies waiting to be used on an unsuspecting individual at the others bequest. I know this and I am living it daily, I accept that I am not a choir boy and have oodles of faults, short comings and hang ups but I am neither a liar nor an assassin of souls.

My life has been full and I have lived many fantastic adventures and rolled with really good people and I am very unhappy with the latest turn of events in my life. It is leaving me with a sour taste in my mouth and an acid sting in my psyche. Being thrown out unceremoniously is on nobodies agenda or wish list and then being expected to thank the person for disenfranchising me was a bridge too far and I cannot believe the gall and lunacy of this person who lives so firmly entrenched in their “bubble” world that they seriously think they have done me a grand favor by giving me 20 minutes to pack my bags in front of my very confused and worried mother all the while reminding me that she is on the line with her attorneys and if that I do not comply to her every whim, she will lay some sort of cooked up charges against me. This person is as deranged as they come and I seriously doubt that she qualifies to be able to raise rattlesnakes let alone children and yet here she is pretending to be doing this for the good of her child! Balderdash! What makes it worse is that she out and out lies to her own husband by telling him that I have a job in Johannesburg and that she is dropping me at the bus terminal so that I can go off and work. I must just clear up that I was given somewhat of a choice of either Durban or Johannesburg as a destination and had to give my answer then and there. She went into the Checkers and purchased a ticket and handed me R1000 and left me at Cape Town station. I am standing there still in a state of shell shock and the last 9 years, 8 of which I was the provider has come down to a blackmail payoff of one thousand rand!
I travelled the 20 hours on the bus to Johannesburg and used this time to organize temporary accommodation with a good family who opened their home to me and provided me with food and shelter. These are humble good hearted people unlike the deranged person who turfed me out like old trash. I had no job waiting like she lied about to her husband and others who have been propagating this blatant untruth as well. If they say its so then they will believe it and thus their conscience is clear, but the fact of the matter is that the LIE is still there but has merely been glossed over and polished up so as to save their image within the community. By the time I reached Johannesburg I had been contacted by another person who was aware of what had transpired and offered me Spartan shelter and a temporary job back from where I had just left. I said that I should at least stay a few days and see if anything beckons in Johannesburg but that I would by all likelihood take her up on her very kind offer. This just went to prove that there are still wholesome, kind people in the world who will go to lengths to assist those that are down trodden by the maniacal woman who lives in her empty castle. Yet another woman came to my assistance and all the way from London has opened her heart and wallet to assist me. I am standing in queue to work for or on behalf of her company in a west African country the moment all the paperwork has been finalized and I am told to pitch up at the starting line. Muslims and Christians came together and have been a lifeline to me in my time of need and confusion and the one who emptily sprouts absolute nonsense about God and praying is the very one who started all this in the first place. I resent those that use God as a crutch and faith to cleanse their own lies and unholy ways. Those in Johannesburg are solid down to earth people and showed true humanity as is the person from Cape Town and the Lady from London. I thank you for your gracious help and open hearted charity which I will repay through any which way I can. I am back where I started this journey 2 weeks ago Monday and I am working albeit for a very humble wage and I have Spartan accommodation but I am quite contented and I am very appreciative of the open heartedness of genuinely Christian people. I owe them a debt of gratitude and will never forget that they stepped up for me in my time of need and without question offered me help and shelter. I have not lied in any way to them and neither have I made any comments to bring undue or unnecessary perceived bad mouthing or libelous slander upon the person who has decided that sending me away is the answer to her problems. In other words, I am not talking shit about her, I am simply telling the truth and maybe she should do the same, its quite liberating and cathartic, however I don’t think she will as she is incapable of keeping the facts separated from the fiction and this is an inherent trait of a bi-polar individual.

To the unstable woman who has thrown my life into disarray I have only discontent and utter dismay for you. You lied to your spouse and have perpetrated nothing short of a crime on not only me but also your own grand son, daughter and your name. I hope you are happy. May misery smile upon you in abundance. Just remember the Karma wheel always turns and today`s elation is tomorrows misery, but I suspect you know all about the rollercoaster that is the bi-polar express.

“the world is like a carousel, spinning faster you better ride it well, its heaven and hell”. “the world is full of kings and queens who blind your eyes and steal your dreams, its heaven and hell”. (RJD)

there is no place in today`s world for tyranny, misery and oppression, just look around and see for yourself how it is changing and please don’t use God and religion to perpetuate your lies after all if you actually bothered picking up the little black book and paged to Exodus chapter 20 verse 16 it clearly states in the book that you love to say you believe in that you shall not give false testimony, in other words spelled out in layman`s terms “you must not lie!!” I detest those that pretend to be holy and of good heart but lie so openly and destroy those around them with impunity because they have money. All the money in the world cannot buy class, humility and secure you your place in heaven. Everyone has their day when we must stand and be counted for what we have done, I am quite comfortable in the knowledge that my day will be a doddle and my spiritual higher entity will not be too harsh on me, I have made peace with my past and openly shared them for the whole world to see however I don’t think I will be standing in the queue that you will be in. there is no hell other than the dark recess of your own being that will torture you internally and that is a fate worse than any person can imagine. Old age is creeping up on you and it is those that you have downtrodden that will someday have to take care of you when once again you are in diapers. Now I sure as hell wont be there to clean up after you but I am alluding to those whose lives you are destroying that are going to be there and that is when payback becomes a bitch. This has happened all too many times and half the time it is because it is deserved. I truly believe you will have a miserable old life. If you are indeed a Christian person as you say you are I really suggest you get praying real hard , real soon and real seriously for your god to forgive you your sins.
If you don’t you will “enter the dragon” alone.
