I Spy Tomorrow is a new day As I do the things I wish to do Thinking only passing of hopes and dreams Laid aside because of you But those dreams and hopes once tossed away Are now within my hungry grasp So I'll reach over, pick them up once more And fasten together my safety clasp As my dreams include furious speed Danger, excitement, bullets past my ear Cloak and dagger so very real Silent and deadly, a perilous fear Spy versus spy In a world gone mad A no holds bared contest Destined to be bad Freelance, old-guard, elite, recruits All dancing the dance of murder and deceit Lurking in shadows to dark to delve All a dance just waiting to repeat Is it glamorized? Yes for sure it has to be Is it dangerous? Like nothing you’ve thought to see Danger and mystique Is that not what we desire? To be raised before all in a pleasing way To be the spark that lights the fire For from the spark the fire burns From the spark the world can see And I want to start the flame I want to be what none can see |

Fast and furious! Really liked the way this one reads. I recommend RPG… a little less hazardous to the health. |

ok, whew! finally got a chance to read this and i'm soooo glad i did. to spy or not to spy? that's not a question anymore, is it? your future is so exciting i can't wait to read the whole book! excellent perception pictured here... i especially like the lines: "Silent and deadly, a perilous fear/Spy versus spy/ In a world gone mad". You have quite the responsibility ahead of you. Mad Magazine, this is not. nice job, des! |

thanks guys. hehe I just felt like it. as some may or may not know, I'm enlisting in the military, going for the intelligence side of it all, but I can settle for a desk job or a cozzy grunt job as well. just as long as I get to go out and do something. prefer the intel side though. I'm going nuts right now. damn procedures. take too damn long. if I had it my way I'd be out in the field yesterday. hehe oh well. guess I'll just have to relearn patience. either that or write some more. which would you prefer? |
