{Forgive a broken record, our sins are scars. Embrace them.}
Above all, be genuine. I don't waste my time with nor do I tolerate liars and leeches.
And what is it that I am hunting, what is the predatory pheromone that captivates? Open doors, open minds. I am an assassin of the corrupt right-wing consciousness; it is our silent epidemic. {My hands are unclean in erasure and blasphemy.}
The question to ask is if I am a risk worth taking. I offer defiance. {An awakening, a New Renaissance.} Rescognize the distant stare.
Those of a progressive collective consciousness are my interest. I'm looking for symmetry, someone with an echo of my frequency, who reciprocates flawlessly. People with stories. I admire sincerity, and respect compassion. I always invite words and reflections from distant mirrors. {Give me fresh blood and open eyes.} You'll rarely catch me on there, but my screenname is Static Nepenthe {AIM}
