the middle muddle


slap it on like paint so thick
and i will act surprised,
but you know,
and i know
that the events are not of your making.
you cannot control the beast that rises
deep in the heart of men.
any more than you can control the ebbing tide
nor the waning moon.
history will mark you as just another.
just another.
an arsewipe who, with evangelical zeal,
kicked a mule and a stallion kicked back.
so paper over the cracks.
paint the walls to white.
everything is as you made it
and nothing is quite right.

Sounds like some poor soul found an answer he didnt expect and altough denial is goor for surface features it never removes the structural damage.
I say if you have cracks in your character let them show and be the better for it.
peace
