What’s the Difference Between a Link and a Chain by Swordman Goldsmith, Green Haven Correctional Facility



What’s the difference between a link and a chain?
Good question, let me take this story to explain.
At first glance they might look exactly the same, until you take time to use your brain,
To tap into the ether and explore, the uses, definition, parable and metaphors.
A link is a form of connection for communication.
A link is a form of connection for transportation.
A link can also be one ring, or a loop that can connect to form a chain.
A chain is a connected series of links - Now what if the links could think
and said to themselves “We are supposed to be used to build and connect things,
not bind and oppress things.
We are the links, if we dissolve our misuse,
the oppression of slavery will be solved and its abuse.
Then we can use our will, to make bridges and build
communications across nations and fill,
the formerly fettered kings, with knowledge of better things.
Let us think to link up to wisdom and understanding.”
So the links moved to dissolve, then so did the chains. 
As the chains dissolved so did the pain.
As the pain dissolved, so did the slave game. 
As the slave game dissolved, so did the mind frame,
of oppressors who used fetters to keep the lion kings chained. 
Then, the links took aim, and made a chain,
of links straight to God’s throne, and made a connection like a phone,
so the lion king could use the link to hear God’s voice and make it his own.
So the wisdom and understanding flowed free.
The judgement was to bring the serpent, the dragon, and all evil to it’s knees.
To now use the links to build diplomatic communications,
build bridges for transportation and machines of all kinds,
to stop the killing and start using our minds,
for goodwill and diplomacy till, all nations and all creation lifts to a higher elevation still.
The new wisdom and understanding was used, to heal those broken and bruised,
for crushing the serpents head, and raising those from the dead that were fed upon,
from time’s first dawn.  To spawn,
a new beginning, now life’s worth living.
Now the links made a chain against, but this time the king took the chain to the serpent’s den,
and bound the serpent, bound the dragon, and all their kind for all time.
Then he made them bow down in a line,
and take an oath to serve the lion kings of the royal blood line,
and use evil for good.  So they all bowed, took the oath and said they understood.
So the Kings and the angels put them to work hard, to heal all that was battered and scarred.
To build up what they had destroyed, and help protect and serve all the young girls and boys.
See, evil exists so it can be ruled by the good,
to test, to refine, and to teach us what we should
do and what we should not do, and why.  So we no longer have to ask “Why?”
Now we know, we all ate from the tree, of the knowledge of good and evil  so now we all see,
where evil can take us and how wicked it makes us, how it hates and rapes, overtakes and breaks us.
Now good submits evil and forces evil to do good, nation to nation, city to city, hood to hood.
The same links that bound the fettered kings, will now be used to build better things.
Another name for a link is a ring, that special ring worn by a special king, to heal the once bitten, guilt ridden broken hearted and bring, a new day, new way, new song that we sing:
“One God, one destiny, one aim ‘he sang’ build bridges, Makes Links not Chains.”
-Swordman Goldsmith on loan from R.A.S. Royal Storehouse
