Children built this city out of wooden blocks then knocked it down. we cry sometimes, and that’s okay, just be wary of the electricity- it loves you tears, it loves to travel through your veins. when everything crumbles- then I’ll stand, I’ll be on top in the end, when we throw the food chain off the edge. Let’s build a pyramid, humans on bottom, rats on top- city’s within cities within cities- feeding on fear at the foot of your bed, ripping the wires that bring light to your head. wake up! it’s just a dream, see? we made it up, the morning alarm returns our sanity. see the daylight? nearby, but just out of reach; drowning in the sun leaves twice the burn. What about China? Have you seen the Great Wall? |

Ooooooooo, good poem Windy woman! Liked this a lot!!! I’ll be on top in the end, when we throw the food chain off the edge. As well as the punch you packed into the ending. Very nice~ |

fantastic as usual, you're my favorite i think that it's brainless to assume that making changes to your window's view will gain a new perspective. |

Hey kiddo. Very 1984 feel to this. (Look it up....lol). And like your telling here, that came and went and we barely blinked. Your view of the world is as darkly intriqing as ever Liz.  |

Let’s build a pyramid, humans on bottom, rats on top- city’s within cities within cities- feeding on fear at the foot of your bed, ripping the wires that bring light to your head. Awesome Wind !! hugs, Chris |

Paraphrasing... "Let’s build a pyramid, humans on bottom, rats on top- city’s within cities within cities- feeding on fear at the foot of your bed, ripping the wires that bring light to your head. wake up! it’s just a dream, see? we made it up, the morning alarm returns our sanity. see the daylight? nearby, but just out of reach; drowning in the sun leaves twice the burn." ...that happened. You are one hell of a writer kiddo.  |

hmm...all I can find is that there is a book about the year 1984... basicaly it says that the government is a conspiracy and the world is divided into three sections. I must read this book...heh... What about China? Have you seen the Great Wall? |
