Beware

The Ides Of March

Beware, beware I say, don’t be the dreamer and heed what I say. Hear what is there do not throw it off as if awakening from a dream. A dream thrown to the side because it’s but a dream. Pay attention to what is actually happening, pay attention to what is hidden yet there.

 

Beware for tis there, yet one convinces one self that it is not. Blind of truths that scream to be seen yet are lost in lands that wish you not to see. Blind of lies that wish to be, but are as sweet as honey and consumed like delicacies. Delicacies taken in, ravaged and shared with many. For the want is there even if the truth is sparse.

 

Beware for even now as I speak and mine words dance as music in the air you do not dare allow its power to touch thee there. Not because you don’t understand but because you do, yet you do not care to. So I ask of thee are you the dreamer or are you the fool. Or is the dreamer the fool that even in awakening can’t not process what the nightmare has forewarned. Maybe they have heard the lesson of the clairvoyance but call such foolishness nothing but something a dreamer would believe. Is being the fool better for in hearing they do not believe. At least the dreamer sees what is there even if it may be clouded in perhaps. Or is the fool the dreamer that see such things and comes forth to share even though no one cares.

 

Beware the dreamer for they are the truth bringer and the lier liaison. A lie tangled in truth is to be questioned as a truth wrapped in a lie is to be revealed. Yet a truth that is a truth is to be seen even if it causes catastrophe. For through its fire will burn and consume it is the only path for the Phoenix. Through these ashes then a new newness will be. But only if you heed these warnings only if you beware beware beware.

 

If not betrayal is imminent and it will come at thee like a dagger to thine back. For in not heeding the warning we stay the dreamer. For in not hearing the “dreamer” we stay in the nightmare. Do not become the fool heed the dreamer. For dreamer or dreamer we either listen not or are lost in the haze of sand. Witch are you the dreamer who lives in the land of lies or the awakened warrior that does not heed the warning. Oh that’s right you wish not be awake so not even is this your place. Continue to sleep continue to dream but forget when the light of day convenes. The lessons brought to you in dreams the words spoke by the dreamer, Beware.

 

I know I know you do not understand and in that bewilderment you answer the question. So i reiterate beware and listen to the dreamer as you call em. Beware and awaken from thine slumber as you are the sleeper. Beware and heed the warning of thine future or feel the dagger of reality at your back. For that dagger at times is wielded by a trusted fellow and cries of et tu will be heard.

 

So Beware, beware I say don’t be the fool or the dreamer that does not care. The sleeper that sleeps away even when predictions come, come your way. For the Dreamer that awakens is the one who sees the one who gives the warning you must heed. And the fool is the one that does not listen does not heed Beware Beware the ides of March.
