    where is the grand vizier. and the ones that we call the personophies. in which by that we mean the dancing girls who eat souls. and credit cards. and upon that which the chalice of man is ever wobbling. responsive to those that eat souls of course. therein is the great deception. it is within not without that the external becomes manifested into the bubbling cauldron of loathing self repression. and if only then those that feel the pain of true pain. soul self killing pain. will bring with it a new personification in it the death of soul.
