    Buzzard is a 2014 American independent film written and directed by Joel Potrykus, starring Joshua Burge as Marty Jackitansky.

    Plot

    A black comedy and paranoia nightmare, the film follows angry mortgage temp Marty as he cooks up small scams against the hated corporate world he's stuck in. Frustrated by the boring nature of his work and the low pay, Marty uses his low level crime as an outlet to rebel. Among his regular scams are going to banks and repeatedly opening new checking accounts to get free deposits, as well as taking items from his job and taking them to a local office supplies store for fraudulent refunds. One day on the job at First National Bank, Marty swipes a stack of refund checks from the company, then forges the payees' signatures to sign several of the checks over to himself. Later Marty's boss, Carol, tells him that the company receives images of the checks when they are cashed and can see who is cashing them. Fearing his scheme will be discovered, Marty goes into hiding at his co-worker Derek's basement.

    Celibacy

    Celibacy (from Latin, cælibatus") is the state of voluntarily being unmarried, sexually abstinent, or both, usually for religious reasons. It is often in association with the role of a religious official or devotee. In its narrow sense, the term celibacy is applied only to those for whom the unmarried state is the result of a sacred vow, act of renunciation, or religious conviction. In a wider sense, it is commonly understood to only mean abstinence from sexual activity.

    Celibacy has existed in one form or another throughout history, in virtually all the major religions of the world, and views on it have varied. Ancient Judaism was strongly opposed to celibacy. Similarly, the Romans viewed it as an aberration and legislated fiscal penalties against it, with the sole exception granted to the Vestal Virgins. Christians in the Middle Ages and in particular Catholics believed that celibacy was a prerequisite for religious office (clerical celibacy). Protestantism saw a reversal of this trend in the West and the Eastern Orthodox Church never adopted it. The Islamic attitudes toward celibacy have been complex as well; Muhammad denounced it , but some Sufi orders embrace it.

    Buzzard

    by: Armageddon

    Riding high on burnished wings
    And with a brazen eye
    The buzzard waits to take its pick
    Waiting on that helpless cry
    In the time it takes
    The moment that you're right off guard
    Bridges that you thought you'd crossed
    Got to cross 'em all again
    Just as lightning strikes
    Before the thunder
    The buzzard falls upon its prey
    Before it has a chance to wonder
    But the meek will stand
    Understanding nature
    Seeing far beyond the plan
    Take their place in time
    Take their place in timeless structure
    Out, out of the dark surrounding shadows
    Tearing apart – trying to get to me
    Sometimes you'll see, sometimes you'll feel
    Colder than steel, instantly real
    Burn, burning with fire, from the depths of time
    Enter my space to take my grace from me
    Slither and slide, ready to hide
