I See
Current mood: artistic
Category: Writing and Poetry

I see a man in need
When I look at you
A man full of grief
Whose good times are few

I see a man in pain
Where you stand
A man without fame
Or fortune at hand

I see a man who tries
To better his life
A man who's eyes
Have seen plenty of strife

I see a man who loves
But no one loves him
A man sad because
Life can be so grim

I see a man with hope
A man with dreams
A man that mopes
A man that screams
A man that's glad
A man with heart
A man that's mad
A man that's smart
A man who's free
A man with fear
Those I see
When I look in the mirror

Past
Current mood: content
Category: Writing and Poetry

There is a lake so clear
It seems as if it's glass
And like a crystal ball
It sees into the past

It shows things long forgotten
Things buried deep in the mind
Things once believed buried
Things thought left behind

The joy of true love had
The pain of love lost
Happiness and sadness
And all the tears doffed

It can show you mistakes
That can be learned from
It can be like a teacher
Telling you what went wrong

But you can't stay there forever
Soon you'll have to move along
Because you can't live in the past
Fore the future moves on

The Six O'Clock News
Current mood: disappointed
Category: Writing and Poetry

Tonight on the six o-clock news
Another teen with a short fuse
Has pulled a pistol on his friend
And pulled the trigger again

Tonight on the six o-clock news
Another driver filled with booze
Has crossed that yellow line
Killing a family of five

Tonight on the six o-clock news
A boy's assaulted for his shoes
Beaten beyond life
For a pair of Nike's

Tonight on the six o-clock news
Another child has been abused
Sickly molested
By parents supposed to protect him

Tonight on the six O-clock news
Another woman is bruised
Viciously raped
By the man called her date

Tonight on the six o-clock news
Another gun has been used
To car jack a Brome
Killing a father on his way home

Another someone sighs
Another someone cries
Another someone lies
Another someone dies

Another someone's injured
Another someone's burned
Another someone's hurt
What's wrong with this world

Isn't there any good news

The Feather's Life
Current mood: drained
Category: Writing and Poetry

Lifted on the wind is a feather
Floating on the breath of the breeze
Going ever higher and higher
Not knowing where the road would lead

The feather never shows resistance
And yet is reluctant to leave
But knows each time there's a wind
Twill be carried away on that breeze

It's just a hard fact of life
That it should be this way
There's no stopping the cycle
No means by which it can stay

So twill fly away, fly away
Forever destined to roam
Knowing thanks to a gentle breeze
It can never find a home

What Happened to freedom Of choice!!!!
Current mood: aggravated

Why am I forced to wear MY seatbelt, in MY car even though I don't want to? It's the law Right? Right. But who would I be hurting if I didn't wear it and wreacked? Me. That's right so what does it matter if I want to endanger my life I have that right, just like the guy who decides to try para-jumping for the first time, or the guy going down on the next bungie jump. I could see if it was endanger others, but it is not. So if I am living in a free country, a country of freedom of choice why should I be forced to wear one? Anyone?

Suv
Current mood: annoyed

Why do people driving these massive Suv's feel the need to slam on brakes and crawl over railroad crossings? I mean the Suv is designed for off road use, Hell in the commercials they're driving them up mountains, over rocks, and through rivers. I somehow doubt that a single set of slightly bumpy railroad tracks is going to F*** it up. Drive like you got a pair or get off the road grandma! Lol. Sorry had to vent to avoid a serious case of road rage.
