(Go to the bottom to start the soundtrack!)
In the trenches of the Steemit World War Flag there are no smells, no mud... just sweat, sweet drinks and unhealthy snacks. I can't decide if the shout of Newsteem, that has gripped the masses, sounds Orwellian or Cromwellian, but none the less I welcome the carnage.
This whole war thing is addictive and all I want these days is more downvoting power. Before I wanted upvotes and growth above the inflation, now I will see the world of Steemit end before budging. I worry about strategy and resources and hates that nothing seems to be coordinated. Is it really time for the Siege of Haejin? Are we to take on the fortress of Trending or mop up the lumpenproletariat of reward-milking bots? @Slobberchops the mighty says that a terrible battle with a certain Mr. Crystal occupies our forces elsewhere. I never even heard of him... @Lordbutterfly is all over the place! He want single battle with the largest, most haunting monster. That guy is a glory addict if ever there was one.
And what have I done? I am fighting a lifeless milking-bot called in some desolate tunnels underneath the Promoted page - I haven't had any contact with it, just a weak little squad of downvoting bots attacking my and my fellow fighter's comments... then silence. It has left eggs in the tunnels though. Its complete fortune invested in some large bidbot payouts shared between ten posts a day for three days. I have become obsessed with the idea that negating all the rewards will kill it off.
And then...
Between the strange auto translated texts about meaningless subjects like, Today I will talk to you about the pen, and Today I will talk to you about the importance of air and its benefits (and the hideous Pixabay images) - I find a sentence. It is buried in gibberish, but it have returned to me since I read it the first time:
" ... you guys all know we are not on earth for a long time, we are coming to heat the museum."
And I ask myself, what kind of strange, mysterious vanitas image is that?
And here's the soundtrack for the post:
The etchings are made by the German artist, Otto Dix. They are from a portfolio of fifty etching, aquatint and drypoints made in 1924.
The music is from the British Death Metal band, Bolt Thrower's 1989 album Realm of Chaos.
You will find the sentence in this post: Today I will talk to you about the moon of the sky and its greatness.
