Drug Free? Pillage the night with echoes of lonely. Draw the shades... Enclose your mind... And refute the happiness -of life. And join, join- with the careless/crowded inconstant/clouded cacophony- of complacence. Join- with they with those who walk stride this time in the manner of one, -who’s already dead. Allow yourself, -forget your dreams- Allow yourself, -deny your heart- Allow yourself, -betray your hopes- Allow yourself, to play in the symphony... Of failure. |

Ah, my friend...your words ring true, and poignantly so. May I never be too busy to help another's load, Then I'll be drinking from the saucer 'cause my cup has overflowed. --Author Unknown |

Very good poem. I particularly liked the line "in the manner of one already dead" . Amazing how may of these walking suicides there are. And drugs and alcohol are not responsible for them all. Thank you for you fine work. Chris |

Hey boy! You've outdone yourself here, you come back with a bang!! I like that - - um....I was just wondering where that cute little pic of you went....does it have anything to do with the problems you were having with your computer? Michael said something about that....(you could use that polaroid your neighbors were gonna take) ROFL Never mind...I don't think the forums are ready for that. Glad to see you back sir.** I'm reaching for the brightest star I've ever seen - knock my ladder out from under me, and you'll wish you hadn't !! -pFF ** Here's to 2000! |
