When I see things which I'd rather not
I try to pretend it's only a dream
Act like it didn't even happen
And wait for better things in life to come my way.

Listen, children, to the sound of the night
It's filled with nothing but green deaths
Naziism is everywhere you look
Acts of it are going on as often as ma*tur*ation

What is it that turns you on?
Is it experience, or love? All of the above?
What is it that makes you feel most alive?
Confronting death, experiencing pain,
Trying to pretend you're really insane?

The world is crying for a drastic change
Humans can't decinde if they want to fight or f*ck
It's time for someone to make the myths
Let's combine fantasy and reality
And see what happens...

now this was great.
when i hear someone say "talk hard", this is what i'm talking about.
wonderful work.

"maturation" works almost as well and is a lot funnier. hehehe

it's our struggle for identity that leaves us all unknown

The sounds of the night filled with nothing but green deaths was so smooth. This was definitely a rather harsh approach to writing, compared to what I've read of earlier works, but it reminds me of a Kerouac meets Bukowski kinda beatnik thing. And your manipulation of words was awesome. All in all, I was intrigued, and liked!

yes yes yes!! this is so wonderfully written and it was hard to pick a favorite verse but the one above just made me wonder...what goes on inside your head that helps you write such good poetry?? what IS your secret? perhaps i'll never know..perhaps i'll just always be in awe..yet another one goes into my library! (sigh)

life may just take a while but i guess heaven's worth the wait
