You can be hard and You can move fast You can really mean the words you say and really make them matter You can be pure of heart and still sink like a stone so why bother You can be mean and cruel, brutal and still full of holes, so where’s the justice? It just doesn’t matter You can have nothing but contempt for the car ahead and the car behind You can be that titanic juggernaut reaching up to devour the sky You can be a light in the darkness, a user’s best friend an end of all trivial things It all just doesn’t matter You can be rich and a snob, a miser closer to god, an aging raging alcohol, a starving artist giving his soul to his agent by the dark of the moon You can be in love, you can remember why, your not all talk and you’re never THAT guy You know the type, you single them out, it all doesn’t matter, how could they have feelings they are different and beneath you, sensitivity is for cowards, and You do not retreat into fear The dark of the Moon has come over You, all becomes clear, all talk becomes small talk to your hungry detached ear and You with good reason can now be everywhere The Mongrel cat came home, Holding half a head proceeded to show it off to all his new found friends |

This is an exelant poem. It reminds me of when I was really angy ( avery long time ago)and one poem said "Your fear the sun// For it is the eye of god//You run in the rain// But your sins will never wash away" It is amazing how such anger in words can add that cold air to a poem. -Juju Juju - 1.) a magic charm or fetish 2.)Magic 3.)A taboo connected woth the use of magic |
