  • My Queries Sha Tin College, Ko, Mary-Anne - 12
    My Queries Sha Tin College, Ko, Mary-Anne - 12 pparently, someone staked their claim upon your head and broke open your very first burden, and poured you out like the water which gushed out of the rock standing at Horeb, channelled by an A ancient power which summoned from two knocks it did come forth. Did you ever believe in the power of being carved by another power, a force not of this planet? I know not whether to be subjected to mankind’s thoughts- for foolish indeed they may be, but a paradox. As man consists not of one, nor an entire army uttering the same declaration of loyalty towards the country which they serve, but an intangible mass of various different forms. But just because you have earned my sympathies, which I guard very well, and my trust, should that mean that what my soul has been laid upon has been indented into yours? From what I have withdrawn from, you took in. Yet, you were scorned, which was an utterly wronged stance. For that would have made a fire-breathing dragon scorned, that would have made the sea-creatures which lay below scorned, that would have made everything else scorned. What made you different? Perhaps the fact that the fate of destiny never cried out from below, and instead came from above. But you weren’t born to be destined to join in the ranks of the Gods, a foolish monkey, and nothing more but a monkey- that’s what they said. And, I suppose, when you have lived an entire life in contrast, in vivid black and white, and being the contrast… Was that how you felt? Crushed, shattered, broken to the point of no repair, yet being the leader, the ruler of a colony of your kind… Did you conceal your true motifs, or did you hide it behind the unfairness of the situation and took advantage of it by locking yourself in the midnight dark? I have to say, I envy you for having stayed in peace, having the sense of privacy which one like I has always longed for, in that silence.
