Live ready to die, <br />be the benign force, <br />be the malignant force. <br />Be sweetly fierce <br />and posthumously saintly. <br />Use telepathy on crowds, <br />But approach a person like a weapon. <br /> <br />When the angel of death approaches another, <br />Invite him in for a spot of your blood. <br />Be the wild card; be wild, <br />Be surprised by your own acts, <br />learn to expect the unexpected. <br /> <br />Live indecisively, straddle the fence. <br />Fall deliberately, full-conscious, only to rise again. <br />When falling, be indefensible, indefatigable. <br />Surround yourself from the inside, like an enemy. <br />Be the opposition someday you intend to destroy.<br /><br />Patti Masterman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/precepts-of-mortality/
