BACK FROM 'THERE'
It didn't take much to realize why we HAD left with curses on our lips about the civilization
. The people were no better than their forefathers-just trifling indulgents. They existed in a caged mindset, no better than one would think of caged crabs-provincial captives of place and time . Existing in their rhetorical mantra of of circular-logic meaning

So we left on the quest for the sake of the virtues of our soul. Facing our worst fears
and glimpses of our best hopes , we soldiered on through the decades of ambiguity and doubt, until we came to that 'oasis of stillwaters'
for our soul to feel some contented relief. And we gained strength in the knowledge of our contentment by those waters of physical, as well as our spiritual revival. In jubilation we looked forward to returning to our homeland to share the news of this glorious experience. But, we returned to this fratricidal, Hobbesian, squabbling
. Each ensnared by the boundaries of addictive convenience, perceived as rightful entitlements; they were no better than the beasts in their confinements at the zoological parks
which presented an illusory image of liberty within the camouflaged walls of their emotional, as well as physical captivity.

It is then that we realize that leaving on that quest-to begin with-was more our souls seeking its own salvation and redemption in and by our original cursing-oath departures.
