See ya later...
I am a man of integrity. As such, I cannot do what I must not do. There can be no justification for any wrong actions taken at any point. And so it all comes down to choice, doesn't it? My continued choice to follow a path so narrow that one tiny slip can send me into oblivion, or to choose to give it all up and just let be what is... to become just like everyone else.
I can't do this. I'm not arrogant, I am truly better than this. Not every person has the strength to give up their desires. Not every person is willing to give up their desires. As much as I may not want to, I must. For not only is it within my power to do so, it is my responsibility to always take the high road.
Not everyone can join me on this path. And those that do often find that it is not something they can handle. Those who choose to stand by my side and walk with me are rare people indeed, and I applaud you for what you've chosen. From time to time, you may need to rest, but I will expect you to come back to what you chose. You must fight with me if we are to accomplish what we must. But fear not, I'll not allow you to fall.
Fight with me, and I'll not lead you to death. Fight beside me, and none can stand against us. Watch my back, and I will die for you. This is the reality of who I am. The warrior that I am.
If my writing slows down to maybe one poem a month, my apologies. I just recently felt my desire to write fade from my being. Perhaps it'll come back in time. If I want it to. For now, I may just take a quiet sabbatical away from poetry for a time, perhaps another few years while I work on my non-fiction books. Who knows?
At any rate, this isn't a rant, just some information for those who care...

PS I feel I should add that no good-bye is forever, and I will be around, though much less than normal. Also, within a short 7 years' time, I must rock the world of politics with a completely new way of looking at the world... Maybe, just maybe, I can get elected my first shot trying. Only time will tell
