Realization of a doomed being

With fiery resolve, kings fought to renew the principles of morality.
Having been defeated by the untruths of the foreshadowing darkness, all hope seems lost.
And the psyche of the human mind becomes overtaken by evil, it seems.
To try and fight back, and regain justice, freedom from the changing tides, will land you into trouble.
Are there any left who still know the meaning of the world, the true beauty of nature, and will act upon it?
No, it is a dying breed, and soon evil will overcome the world. Are there any who refuse to be corrupted?
Even through these dark times, I am continuously searching for other who know the truth, as I do.
Nobody I have encountered has the same views, has the desire not to conform, and will act upon these.
Inhibitions take over these desires, and they speak like they know the truth, and yet still continue to defy.
Going it alone is not an option, so I am forced to conform, there is no such thing as liberty among humans.
Maybe there is another who is faced with the same conundrum. Who feels the true despair of these times.
And yet, maybe the other ones are right, maybe I have no other option. Still I refuse to give up hope.
Losing this battle, I realize only the ignorant can be happy, oblivious of the world around them.
I look at the other creatures, free from walls built by the ignorant as I am. Only they know true liberty.
For as long as there is “sentience” there is evil. How I wish to leave this herd of ruthless beings.
Evil has won. I never had a chance, I was doomed to lose from the start. Doomed to conform.
It seems only I can see there foolishness. Humans are truly evil creatures. I realize nothing will change.
Silly me, I need to get a job!

Wow!

There is so much in this, including a few truths. What a great writer you are, for you manage to express our needs for freedom and beauty whilst still maintaining a resolve that we are doomed to conform. You also raise some very interesting questions here...'Is there any that cannot be corrupted?' Food for thought indeed!

exactly what I've been thinkng for soooo long!
you asked if any knew truth like u....''I am continuously searching for other who know the truth, as I do.''.....I suppose many ppl out there think they know the truth....but the question is...do they know they know the truth....I feel I do but there is only one Being who truly knows all.....the One who is aware of every murder to an ants track and footstep.I believe that we all search for the answers but reality is .....its all right there.....thing about man is.....man only sees what man wishes to see!......anyhoo, I loved this write as I felt it was like something I would write myself and I say 'respect' to u for having ur own mind set and not going with the flow of every other Tom, Dick and harry.
Im actually a muslim.....and Islam says......that Islam came as a stranger to the world and when the earth is coming to end....Islam will still be a stranger.....I for one am proud to be different and to be a stranger......thanks 4 the post, and welcome to the site.....peace, repenter86.
