Why do people hold to their wants so dearly?
They cling to their superiority complexes as their world crumbles around them.
They claim sight but grope around blindly.
Their condenscending tones soon become replaced with ones of Fear.
Fear that Control is dead.
They have received the light but prefer to falter in the darkness.
These people give everything just to be right, but in the end they realize it's about so much more...

Judge:
You surely make me wish I had a better memory here. The system says this isn’t a pre write but how could I have asked you to edit unless I had seen it? So I’m thinking you posted it with a different name. No biggy da.
You ask legitimate questions. “
