Block #1:

- Hes collapsing from his defeat and he feels like its a crime how things have gone or what has been done to him.  It even reminds him of two different crime scenes in different areas.  He goes on to say that he is tired and that the future that he thought his path would bring or achieve is falling short or is not so.  He talks at the end of the general time and place.

Block #2:

Hes saying whenever he chooses his words carefully, speaks truth, and makes sense that he loses to the tall tale or the lie. Hes always trying to defeat the lies with truth, but he always fails. He keeps speaking truth, but never wins. He will always lose to the lie he says.

Block #3:

This is about him being silenced and that he should trust those who are silencing him. However, they're bleeding him dry or slowly beating him down to nothing. The liars then celebrate their victory in a mocking way. He doesn't want to hear their formal toast or their drunken stories from a celebration based on deceit. This continues on and on and never ends he says.

Block #4:

He now recedes and gives up from trying to defeat the lies with the truth because he has lost significant strength. He copes by going back to his safe place and listening to the sounds that mesh with the rhythm of his soul. This music empowers him and fills him with the energy he needs to fight again. He says he will never learn or that he will never give up. He will never give up because this is his nature and his sole will. He will always fight the lie with the truth.

Block #5:

Hes talking to himself, contemplating that he may one day set this quest down. He goes on to almost taunt himself in a way to say that he isn't strong enough to carry on to the end.

Thoughts:

Did he regain his strength and fight another day? I hope so. I hope he broke those lies spiraling out of control with his truth. Truth is the sharpest blade and the strongest hammer. It's mere presence doesn't demand respect, it commands that respect in all ways. Do not give up my gentle friend.
