Light but dark
The morning sun
Was shining
Hope it would bring
To most
But not to the corpse
There in the ditch
Laying.
Was shining
Hope it would bring
To most
But not to the corpse
There in the ditch
Laying.

Humpty Dumpty
Like Humpty Dumpty on the wall, you push me off the edge and watch me as I fall.

Doom and gloom.
Would not go out
Of his room
Though the walls
Were closing in
On him
With ever more
Darkness and gloom.
Of his room
Though the walls
Were closing in
On him
With ever more
Darkness and gloom.

I’m Posting Like There’s No Tomorrow
.because for some
there won’t be
and much like me
in evacuation zone 3
they’ll go to bed
in a forest of dreams
waking up as ashes
...instead

Sacrilegeous
They went in the church
Destroyed sacred statues
Such mindless crétins
Even heathens are not
Capable of such monstrosity
And disrespect.

Was a good looking dame
Of reknowned fame
But if she lured you
To her lair,
It was the end of freedom
For you
Caught in her fangs
And all the evil there.
Was a good looking dame
Of reknowned fame
But if she lured you

It was the end of freedom
For you
Caught in her fangs
And all the evil there.

Dark
He needed to find the key
To the meanders of his mind
No way out, no exit
As he ruminated and cried
As on his pile of mental shit
He continued to sit.
To the meanders of his mind
No way out, no exit
As he ruminated and cried
As on his pile of mental shit
He continued to sit.
