POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Politicians
A man approaches the stand
Slithering,
Like a snake in a suit
His hair slicked back
Greasy,
Unlike his elbows.
There's pomp in his stride
And his grin is like cheddar
The people there are waiting
Restless,
In anticipation of what he's about to say.
His words cause unrest
The people aren't happy
He dodges their questions
Like bullets,
And fires them back
In the form of lies and empty promises.
His speech is over
The man takes his chauffeur car home
And sips champagne in...

Love is...
Love is deaf
Love is blind
Love is cruel
Love is kind
Love is pride
Love is warm
Love is passion
Love is a storm
Love is scary
Love is universal
Love is power
Love is eternal
Love is hard
Love is a grind
Love is something
I'm still looking to find
Love is blind
Love is cruel
Love is kind
Love is pride
Love is warm
Love is passion
Love is a storm
Love is scary
Love is universal
Love is power
Love is eternal
Love is hard
Love is a grind
Love is something
I'm still looking to find

Recess
The bell rings for recess
The kids go to play
But little do they know
This will be their last day
They're laughing and singing
And all having fun
'Til a stranger shows up
With a loaded machine gun
They don't know why he's here
There's no time to ask
He pulls down the trigger
And carries out his sick task
Innocent lives lost
The shells gleam in the sun
The man's taken down
But the damage is now done
Why are people so evil?
This whole world's a mess
All these kids wanted
Was...

Weather
The sky turns to grey
The wind starts to bite
The rain begins to fall
The world ends tonight
The plates are now shifting
The ground starts to crack
The temperature's rising
There's no turning back
The tide gets restless
The ice melts in the sun
The lightning starts flashing
What have we all done?
The storm is approaching
Life will now halt
The world is dying
And its all our fault
The wind starts to bite
The rain begins to fall
The world ends tonight
The plates are now shifting
The ground starts to crack
The temperature's rising
There's no turning back
The tide gets restless
The ice melts in the sun
The lightning starts flashing
What have we all done?
The storm is approaching
Life will now halt
The world is dying
And its all our fault

Domestic
Another night, another fight
I'm in my room, I'm full of fright
So much stress, so much pain
I wish it all would go away
Do you even care what you've done?
You hurt your wife, your daughter and son!
Another night, another fight
Kick and scratch, claw and bite
Why did you cheat, why did you lie?
You make me sick, you make me cry
Do you even care what you've done?
You hurt your wife, your daughter and son!
Another night, another fight
He throws a left, he throws a right
A broken nose, a bruise and...

God is real, but he's lazy
I had an interview with God, I said I thought he was a fraud.
Then he sent me back to Earth, and he cursed me for my birth.
So I went to see Satan, he was standing there waiting and his skin was all fiery and red.
I looked in his eyes and asked 'God's just all lies?'
He nodded and in a loud voice he said....
God is real but he's lazy, he's so fucking crazy!
All the prayer he don't care, he just sits there in bliss.
Even when people die, he just dont bat an eye,
Who would have faith in a God such as this?
So I went back to Earth...

Alone
Black hole
All alone
By myself
On my own
Burning pain
Too much pride
Where to run?
Where to hide?
Fear,
Emptiness,
Shame,
Loneliness
All alone
By myself
On my own
Burning pain
Too much pride
Where to run?
Where to hide?
Fear,
Emptiness,
Shame,
Loneliness

23
To the tune of Seventeen by Janis Ian
I learned the truth at 23
That love was never meant for me.
Its for all the girls and guys
Full of vanity and selfish pride.
I spend another night alone
Without someone to call my own
I look up towards the sky
Back down to Earth, I start to cry.
All I want is someone to love me
Wrap their arms around and hug me
Its something that I've never had
I'm all alone, it makes me sad
Love was never meant to be
I learned the truth at 23.
Will I ever find the soul
Who makes me...
