I pay homage to you with paper birds, but they cannot fly. I kneel down before you in need of forgiveness, but I cannot lie. I feel my heart race in your honor, and I cannot die... Though my mind is spun in circles and I deserve nothing less than death, by your hand no less and I would take a blade in spite of my own privelage to live... If I could change the way the world spins if time were only so forgiving, I would simply jump right back as if I were a magician or a priest, and even then the same things would find a way of happening...further forcing us to appreciate our vengeful, deceitful nature.. we are monsters..creating monsters, the world is a vicious cycle... |

If I could change the way the world spins if time were only so forgiving, I would simply jump right back I hear ya Kaoru, if it were only that easy, and we knew from the get go we wouldn't spin out of control. I really enjoy your intense and passionate poetry! |

Yes we have done this to ourselves, that is for sure Meg. Nice piece of writing as per usual Even while we speak, envious time has passed: pluck the day, putting as little trust as possible in tomorrow! |

You have so adequately defined my mood today--we're monsters creating monsters--I feel that way about my own thoughts at times. I really should avoid traffic jams--for if it's so my thoughts are demons, then yes indeed, today their name is legion. You have a way of making me smile through the pain, you.  |

Hi Kaoru, I like the way you are able to look the world square in the eye and still have your say. Powerful in truth! |

you speak the truth Meg - as society in general, gosh, I just wrote about this, not even kidding. It is the ones who SEE this that stop that cycle, even if it affects a handful of people. |

I LOVE THIS, LOVE THIS, LOVE THIS! If for no other reason (and I am sure there are many good reasons anyway), the excellence of this poem should grant you instant forgiveness for whatever you may have done! Serenity Blaze, traffic jams also try to get me very uptight, but often/usually/eventually I realise that if I relax and find something in the scenery to enjoy, I don't get to my destination any later, nor do I use more petrol (oops, I mean gas), nor does my car suffer more wear and tear, nor do I get any hotter in summer or colder in winter, and I certainly ward off heart-attacks and the like, and I as sure as Hell, enjoy the day more. Try it, it works! And the migraines will be frightened away. - Owl |
