Profiling the Adversary

The dreams are fast, furious and lucid. Completely subjective but also abstract in what they convey. A sliver of consciousness there to mediate between me and corrupted memories. Not memories that were whole, pure and intact but the hours and hours of logged obsession. Of the guardian of my dreams gorging himself for, what from a recent rough estimate, 5 years of my life. Let's not mention all the unhealthy relationships it spawned. A prisoner I was. Shackled by insincerity tethered to trepidation.
What a sad creature I had become. A self indulgent nocturnal automaton. No love for me just the endless pursuit of gratification. But even that was a lesson that needed to be learned if it did not consume me in the process and damage my psyche beyond repair. I had to recognize it, feel it indulge in it, from the inside. I had to experience addiction. So it may not be an unknown foe come Judgment Day. So that I may not only be aware of just the machinations behind the Adversary's ability to corrupt the innocent but also who was effected and to what degree no matter how well they think they hide it. The Adversary's minions, sometimes called unclean spirits cannot be seen by the naked eye. Their presence can be felt though and indirectly observed through the mortal vessel that they occupy.
Like with most things of a parasitical nature they don't live in their host they only go there to feed. Most of us commonly refer to this phenomenon as the benevolent mood swing. The children are the most vulnerable. They, therefore need the most protection. They are being corrupted in record numbers. In fact the corruption process is a driving mechanism of the paradigm. It is so well integrated that millions of jobs are secured by it. Our youth are lost confused and under attack. They have no rights therefore no way to defend themselves. Anyone they might find as a confident could to be corrupted by the same influence and therefore complete the vicious cycle. Though they have no rights should they commit a crime serious enough The state will put them on trial as adults. Which only reinforces the eye for eye mentality that threatens our label of civility in general.
Unless someone vows to protect them and has the means and wherewithal to do so, then the world is lost to us already. For they are our future and if they grow up to be just like us. If they consider wealth and prestige attributes to aspire to then we may as well destroy the planet now and everything upon it. Either that or consign us all to a slow torturous death of disease and war and the kind of wholesale destruction only six billion plus people can wage. That will not be the future I subscribe to. As long as I live, breathe, think and write, I will find The Adversary's Achilles's heel. I will defeat the minion he has assigned to my soul. And I will teach anyone and everyone how to do the same.
We WILL earn our way back to paradise. And if I must I will take the lead and take us home.
