Music by THE FACTOR PROJECT “Essence”

By Shawn Joseph
Get yourself away before you feel the wrath of Chaos. The madness will envelop your entire being and consume everything
that you are. This month as I find myself toiling the universe for inspiring words, I stumbled across this tidbit of work from a
freelance writer/poet from within this plane of existence. Try to wrap your mind around this collection of both positive and
inspiring phrases.

Read Between the Lies
By Danielle Pallanti
What life is this to which I must succumb?
Writing is not but words that have grown numb
To accept what's truth is to flee the masses
To regard the real within my disgust and circumstances
A battle of the forlorn, is solidarity in its quest
Controversial thought is where my dreams will manifest
A woman with a mind, opposes what is the norm
Finds shelter in books from this disillusioned storm
You paint the blur of the background with a color they can't see
You are the ones who give me hope where there's perpetual immorality
The rare intellect, a blind eye to what is blind
With devolution spreading, you are truly one of a kind
Media portrays femininity as simplistic
Your fortitude endows me with a scope more realistic
Education should be first, but what is exalted is pretension
Women want respect, but won't respect the aforementioned
Darwinism shows progress, they all believe the lies
But what we see contradicts what that says or implies
We will self-destruct, if I don't find more of you
Do not stop until you see the world, with a different view
As our delving into insanity continues, I am astounded to find that the chaos has reached “down under”. All the way from
Melbourne, Australia, this rocker is covering a topic many of us know all too well. Relationships…struggling with whether or
not the pain is worth the effort…when to leave, when to hang on. Be sure to check out JAMES FLYNN’S band, RED DOOR,
