The Jungle of Aiya

"A cosmic void of eternal and infinite blackness, strewn with flickering stars and planets.


The jungle ruled. For no king, but the killer, shall domain here. Make your laws of obedience and treachery to life, as you cast away into a sordid abyss.


The abyss of self-hatred, from which no fathoming being can return. For in the cosmos, you were weak, you were hateful, you cast your eyes upon others with false reckoning. For you were enemies, and yet sought to be kin.


Your weakness belies interdependence on one another born of mutual need. For you hate each other yet claim a false brotherhood out of weakness.


Suicide, yet not unless we take this, this life in the jungle of Aiya, with us.


'And none the strong shall conquer, for the animals we were claim not. May the duplicity of the mindless masses thrive upon our shoulders. For we have lost our will to live, and die, with the falsehoods of stronger beings upon our minds'.


The Aiyan suicides shall come.


For the jungle of Aiya takes no temptress from false idols.


The blackness calmed, and the vast mist of glowing orbs that hung in the infinite void twinkled merrily on."
