When murky reactions to preceding actions are celebrated, confusion becomes the order of the day. Unfazed by the unwavering glare of atonement in the dim future, the bloke's entire globe condenses with shimmering sensations; the aftermath of a revenge dish eaten cold. His left feels so right and he tells himself, 'atimes, bad is good'.
And for the world and himself, he stays prepared to argue his right to be fine again.

You know, it won't be trivial to put down just any comment. Instead of only sending me friend requests.

lol. boys will be boys! no time

But that's a tough read you got up there. But for the topic one would be lost as to what it's about. Is it a poem? The format doesn't suggest so but it reminds me of those poems I read that gets me confused trying to understand where the author is coming from.

....and Kevin retards the static. Yayyy!
A poem? Not really. It's just something I was thinking about and felt like sharing, when I first visited the section. And I know you understand everything up there...even after the initial befuddlement. Yes?

Yes, actually. But take my hands and lead me through digesting it, one sentence at a time.

"When murky reactions to preceding actions are celebrated, confusion becomes the order of the day".
There is celebration and confusion...by the same protagonist? After the deed (vengeance) has been done? I'm thinking something along the lines of 'after the initial euphoria of revenge fizzles out, the sour taste starts building up,' yeah or nay?
Btw what lead you to these thoughts? Was it after you got back from a revenge mission of your own?

Nah, nonplussed would be the lookers-on.

Correct, Kev.

Hehehe. No na. I had listened to a song titled FINE AGAIN by Seether, which is about some dude leaving rehab and fighting to convince himself that he'd be fine at taking on the world again. And so I thought up something different, that does warrant thesame struggle---revenge.
Albeit in the end, not every avenger would still have a conscience to manage this struggle.

Hmmmm, very true. That's some deep thinking there. And you like rock music, yeah? I watched the video on youtube . Neways, nice stuff, and thought provoking too. Do you write on a good day? Poems, prose? It may not be a bad idea considering your diction is tight and you've got a good head on your neck... #justsaying

Many thanks and yep, I'm a rock buff. But writing? Ermm...not exactly. Maybe. Kind of. I mean, I don't exactly scribble naught like I think writers should/do. But even though this is the first and only piece I have put down and only on nairaland too, it is way down on the list of pieces I have thought up.

I watched the video on youtube .

You did? Awwww.

I may be wrong, but here's my glance summary...

* Emotions aggressively becloud reason
* Vengeance and guilt are prepared in situ
* The world has no stake in ur myriad of thoughts

Of cos, you're right for the most part. But yes, the world's put into consideration. It just happens at the tail end.
Thanks for glancing through.

Good job decyphering the moniker. It's left a fuddled lot on here, that had dared to tread on that same path, I tell ya.
Should this piece be fuller? Hmmn. I really don't dig extensive write-ups because then, I'll have to hold a pen to a paper and i'd be bored and...urrrrgh. It's not impossible though.

Anyhoo, grazie mille for your shared thoughts on this and hey, I've never known Chester to leave chinks in his armor. So easy with the 're-encoding', purlease. Lol.

And what in the world is this?

Do I love a challenge...
.
Tug. Tug. Tuuug.
Twitch.
(You see this paw...)
More tugs and pulls.
Scrowl.
(It has retractable claws...)
.
.
The imp tugs her tail some more...
And...
Meets a deadpan.
.
.
.
.
Self-control.

Clambering up the soul's cavity
In its silence, thyself to defeat
Wanting above it, rising purposively;
The vertex of ire, outstripping it
And then phewww...dulcet amity.

----------Self restraint-----------

Ascending towards the scelpulture of truth.. Wailing in sexines and embracing the manifest... I see the path forming... Shit! I'm Running.

Hehe. Nchewi, you're so funny. Yeah don't mind me. I've always liked them deep. But if you really did understand all that, then the brand of shite you smoke must be the same as mine! . Thanks.
