Well, here is another serious piece from Stinky.  I kinda like it. Enough talking.....


Pure Evil, Genuinely Good

I am an earthquake that destroys your sandcastle
I am a butcher knife that cuts your morale in half
I am a godlike thief that steals your thunder
My egotism feeds my every move

I am an emergency vessel, saving you from drowning in your own pity
I am a firecracker of joy to lift spirits
I am a horse that can carry masses from darkness to light.
but my decency doesnt outway my egotism


Yeah, I was trying to show the thoughts of a "bad guy" and a "good guy".  After I finished, I realized that it reminded me of myself, and the ones here who know me will attest to that (hehe).

I really like this one. I think that it COULD be improved in teeny tiny ways, but you have a solid foundation.

"I am an earthquake that destroys your sandcastle
I am a butcher knife that cuts your morale in half
I am a godlike thief that steals your thunder"

I really like the beginnings you've got here.

"My egotism feeds my every move"

I may be wrong, but I THINK it's 'egoism' not 'egotism'

"I am also an emergency vessel, saving you from drowning in your own pity"

If this were mine, I would have left out the "also" as this does a funky on the flow of it, ya know?

"I am a firecracker of joy to lift spirits
I am a horse that can carry masses from darkness to light.
but my decency doesnt outway my egotism"

Again, the 'egotism' thing... I do like this poem though

I'm dangerous when left alone hehehe

*sniff* I've never been abducted by aliens...

After a brief meeting with my friend The Dictionary, I have come to the conclusion that it is in fact "egotism".  I took out the "also."

Nope, can't say that I've ever gotten inspiration from oatmeal.  Perhaps I'll try it one day.

LOL @ Rhonda.   Careful..someone might think
you're being egoTistical..LOL.

Stinky~
I REALLY like this a LOT.
This is definitely one of the best pieces
that I've read from you and is very possibly
my new favorite.
Keep up the great work...I'm enjoying reading you.

I enjoy being egotistic. Keeps me sane.

Love conquers all, so I must be in a losing battle.

This describes the tendancy of human nature, we are both good and evil, and we continuously fight between the two

Yes there will be tommorrow, but will you be there to greet it?

Not much to say that hasen't already been said, but I liked it, so I HAD to say something.. wait,I just did. WEll, there ya go then, I fulfilled my own prophecy.  Wait, but it wasn't a prophecy until I said that, so I fullfilled it with what I wrote before it, but then I didn't fulfill it... ARGH!  lol......
