Stand Up, Be Counted
It’s out there, brothers… Has been as long as you or I or anyone can remember. It thrives in the dark, dank corners of shithole gyms everywhere. Listen… Can you hear it? It’s the call. Those fortunate enough to have heard it, who’ve made the journey, know the road is long. The way is covered with mud, rock, and shit. To all those who’ve come before me, I tell you this… I too have heard and I am ready. I am ready to toil in anonymity under the merciless weight, under the scrutiny of my own unforgiving gaze. I am ready for this undertaking and when I am done, I will no longer be among the nameless, the faceless. It’s my time… I will stand up and be counted.
