Roses are red.
Violets are blue
I lo……

You there,
yes you, the one sitting
reading these words as
if they really mattered.

What do you want?
What are you looking for?

Why are you here.
Judging always judging.
Quit judging me.

You won’t find what
you are looking for,
not here. Here is just like
there, words. Words,
much like any other words.

You’re boring me.
I have grown tired of you.

Don’t look now but you're dead.

Ohh! Quit crying about it.
Don’t be so damn bothered by it.

We all are dead,
the whole damn planet is dead,
in one way or the other.

Effigy, may I say what a powerful piece this one is...

Well I'd argue the point--but it is my own humble opinion that the whole planet is ALIVE--in one way or the other. Even if in anger, effigy...*wink* I (just as Coco, liked the power behind this piece) and keep on writing as if words matter. They do. And it does.

I'm looking at the words between the words, behind the lines and between the verse, the ones you couldn't write, that's what I look for. This is different.
