Riddle me this, Batman

[Darkswordofchaos]

I just heard these riddles and thought they were pretty cool,


I stand beside the holy man
The monarchs fear my wrath
None may move the way I can
Ever the crooked path

This one i figured out pretty easy

this one was a little harder

What man loves more than life
Fears more than death or mortal strife
What poor men have, the rich acquire
And all contented men desire
What misers spend and the wastrels save
And each man carries to his grave?

So any body know what the answers are?
</pre>

Also if you know were the riddles came from feel free to not answer cause thats no fun

During sleep we are most awake.
Darting here to there.
The pictures we see, a memory to preserve.

But if we stop, the picture remains
Forever lost to the forgotten abyss.

Left is right,
right is left,
and always up is down.

As a young boy, I dreamed of being a baseball, but
tonight I say, we must move forward, not backward, upward not forward,
and always twirling, twirling, twirling towards freedom.

Abortions for all!

*boo!*

Very well, no abortions for anyone!

*boo! hiss!*

Abortions for some, miniature American flags for others!

*yay!*

I think the answer to the riddle is dreams.

During sleep we are most awake.
Darting here to there.
The pictures we see, a memory to preserve. - Dreams happen when you're asleep, and are basically pictures in your mind (and are sometimes based on memories).

But if we stop, the picture remains
Forever lost to the forgotten abyss. - You only remember your dreams if you wake up in the middle of them; if you stop dreaming, and then wake up later, you won't remember the dream at all.

Left is right,
right is left,
and always up is down. - Dreams can be and often are very surreal.

I think you have the right answer, but this thread is very old and qwerty is MIA so we'll just close this one up.
