In your dreams

Under the Magnifying Glass

I wonder
If you were that child
That burned ants
At you feet?

It is high noon
And I am waiting

My choice in men
Will kill me one of these days...

Ahhh . . . Nothing is ever certain in this world, especially in matters of love and hate, and those two go hand in hand, unfortunately. No one can predict, however we can, according to our choices in life narrow the percentages down. I really liked this dark one.

Boys to men, what a treacherous transformation it can be. This is a telling expose. Much to think about here. Good job!

It has been my very frequent observation that many (most?) women apparently of all ages are consciously (or not?) 'attracted' to the 'bad boys' (who I often call 'male monsters'). Perhaps it is some deep (subliminal) biological/genetic imperative ... the macho-chauvinistic, aggressive, dominating/'controlling' types seem like the best op. genetically for 'survival of the species' (natural selection, etc.) ergo, us 'nice guys' truly do 'finish last!' ...
