My overly sensitive spine
If my body feels nothing
Then my spine feels everything
Loaded to the brim full of nerves
On full alert
24/7
An example of this stupidly sensitive spine
is going to the barber
Cutting my hair
What could go wrong?
Well...as soon as the plastic bit off the razor goes off
To trim the back of my neck
Miniature earthquakes tremble down
All the way to the left leg
It happens every single time without fail
Another example is sleeping
To this day
I can't sleep on my stomach
Why?
The slightest wind blows

Insects
Insects...
What a disturbing creation
Bees
Beetles
Hornets
Moths
Maggots
Spiders
Ants
Flies
Fleas
One word describes them all
Creepy
Bees making wax houses from their own glands
4cm hornets with deadly stings
Bullets ants with the most severe bite
Wasps laying larvae into spiders
The larvae then eats it alive
Maggots eating dead flesh
Spiders quite literally
Sucking the juices out its meal
Flies eyeing their meals with a thousand views
Feasting on anything and everything
Beetles spray boiling hot...

The true meaning of life
What is the meaning of life?
What a stupid question
Mainly because
Everyone
Knows
The
Answer
We don't know
That's it
Deep stuff

Death is Hilarious
People often think of death
as
Dark
Depressing
Grotesque
Morbid
Scary
Or creepy
Wrong!
Death is hilarious
How?
Simple
Just look at human stupidity
Exhibit A
A couple has sex
on a balcony
On the 6th floor
Things get a bit exciting
They fall over
Exhibit B
Two prisoners in jail
Smuggle a grenade in prison
One of the prisoners keeps it in his butt
Later they try to retrieve
The prisoner puts his hand up the other's butt
But...wait for it
He pulls out the pin
Proof...

The best way to kill
The best way to kill
Is it slow?
Or fast?
It is slow
Painful
Or painless?
Painful
So how to kill a person
Slowly and painfully
Lets see
Boiling
Frying
Hanging(pull the person up the bough)
Guts falling out
Blinding
Electrocuting
Drowning
Cutting
Starving
Dehydrating
No
The best way to kill
Simply
Is by hanging a person
upside down
Its not the slowest way to die
But its the most painful
At first the victim
feels nothing
Almost content with the death
Then...
Is it slow?
Or fast?
It is slow
Painful

Morality?
Morals
What a word...
What a disgusting word
What a sick utterly disgusting word
Perhaps
Perhaps not...
What are morals?
They are weird things
Things that people keep
To maintain an idea of order
Order?
What a joke...
People trying to keep order
Perhaps morals is an illusion
To keep order
Who knows about this morality?

The social contract
People
We truly are a strange bunch
Mainly due to one thing
Social contracts
Guys do not hug other guys
Guys can hug girls
Girls can hug other girls
But with guy on guy hug action
Never
These contracts control what we can and can't do
We can't ask about a girls age
Or weight
But
We can do it with guys
Whilst working our goodbye's are
Final
Just a simple "goodbye"
But if its a friend
"goodbye" is said
Then a whole fat conversation pours out
Or worse goodbye is repeated at least...

The real version of the story
Strange how the most famous fairy tales
Actually have strange endings
The Little Mermaid
Ariel was forced into a marriage
Shortly afterwards,
She took her own life
The Pied Piper
He got rid of the rats
The town could not pay him
So he took their children
and got rid of them...
Via drowning
Goldilocks and The Three Bears
She looked at the porridge
said "this one's too hot"
Then Cold
Same with the bear's beds
The bears found her fast asleep
and said "this one tastes good"
So why are Fairy...

Swearing
Some of the best adjectives
Known to man
are swear words
There is no better sound
Than the sound of an explosive
Fuck!
Shit!
Bitch!
Cnut!
Asshole!
or dickhead!
The words fuck and shit
are much like tweedle dee and tweedle dumb
Two different words
But used for the same reasons
Like
Oh dear
Sorry
Dammit
Very or extetremely
Shit can be used when
A person is full of rubbish
Whereas fuck
can be very sexual
Bitch!
Cnut!
Asshole!
or Dickhead!
These words are all used to...

The new house
I buy a house at quite a bargain
The estate agent seems quite happy that she sold the house
She seems happy
almost too happy
Behind my back she whispers "sucker"
Behind her back I whisper "sucker"
Night no 1
Seems like a great home
It needs a little DIY
But not too
What a day buying this house at quite a bargain
Off to bed I go
9pm
I hear the sounds
drip...drip
drip...drip
drip...drip
I tightly twist all the taps from the
Bath
Zink
Basements
and then...

Eyes
Eyes are here
Eyes are there
Eyes are everywhere
Watching your every move
Your every step
Your every breathe
Your every mannerism
You look left
Eyes
You look right
Eyes
They ask "are you alright"
Whilst giving you a cold hard stare
All you can do is pretend to be content
With all the eyes watching
Eyes do not just watch you
They watch your soul
They search for your
Emotions
Secrets
Past and
future
The only way to avoid the eyes
Is
There isn't a way
Eyes are there
Eyes are everywhere
Watching your every move
Your every step
Your every breathe
Your every mannerism
You look left
Eyes
You look right
Eyes
They ask "are you alright"
Whilst giving you a cold hard stare
All you can do is pretend to be content
With all the eyes watching
Eyes do not just watch you
They watch your soul
They search for your
Emotions
Secrets
Past and
future
The only way to avoid the eyes
Is
There isn't a way
