This one is a spur of the moment[kinda] poem I wrote after getting upset about life in college and worrying that I'd make my mother upset by leaving for college. In passion's sweat and lust's Darwinian toil Fate formed me, sadness and humiliation in mind. From the bosom of the earth to the surface of the soil, I was slowly spilled like puke and food for swine. Then two foolish beasts without meaning or goal Fought over my petty life and my putrid soul. I, for one, didn't know what the heck was going on, Til the war was over and I sang and heard the vict'ry song. Sing High Sing Low Lift your hands to the sky! The enemy's been dealt his final blow! Oh and listen to that sweet sad song! Hormones to the rescue, meaningless in a throng! No more childish fantasies about meaning in life Time to grow up, have sex and then cause strife! Repeat the sounding joy, repeat the sounding joy! A baby's born, a baby's born, and it's a boy. So much like his father. So much indeed. Let us partake of violence, wife. Divorce again and more strife. This is our meaning It is our point in life. Family Humanity Family is everything. "If history is to change, let it change. If the world is to be destroyed, so be it. If my fate is to die, I must simply laugh" -- Magus [This message has been edited by fractal007 (edited 04-05-2001).] |

Hey, there you are again, it must be my lucky night to come across two poems like this by the one author, both hold the undeniable tang of curiosity, rage, questions...at least I think so... If your mom does get angry then so be it, she'll get over it, you have to do what feels right for you. Just make sure it's not a spur of the moment thing... You've got potential ;p |

*Stands up and applauds* Very nicely done, frac! I loved the structure.. keep posting, I can't wait to read more. --Marie It's true that we don't know what we've got until we lose it, but it's also true that we don't know what we've been missing until it arrives. |
