Livin' on the edge
As I go through the day, My thoughts
run rampant and in thousands of directions at once.
I try to make sense of it all. but in the end
I'm Living on the critical edge.
If I continue going on my current course,
I may go insane. I want to turn back and avoid the
insanity. But there is no place to turn around.
There is no way to make sense of it all. The line
between sanity and insanity is always so unclear,
I wonder how long I'll be Living on the edge.

Murderous thoughts of the wrongly fired employee
When an employee works for a company for close to fourteen years and gets fired just because of hand surgery, the thoughts of murder and vengeance start flowing. The disgruntle employee festers in the feelings of rage and starts thinking in terms like, "someone ought to put that sorry sack of crap six feet under for a dirt nap. That sorry excuse waste of flesh scum doesn't even count as a human being." The disgruntle employee thinks of ways for revenge, but then steps back from the brink of murderous insanity and snaps back into reality. there is the reminder of life in prison or...

A View of the world today
As I watch the news, I wonder why the world in some ways has gone crazy. All I ever see is Robbery, murder assault and various corruption. While watching this I wonder if the world has gone crazy and what would Jesus Christ say if he were physically here on earth today? I figure if I view the world as gone crazy and disrespectful towards God the father, then God must be furious with us. There are also anti gun people out there mostly in the white house trying to take all guns away from us. While I am for gun control I do believe strongly in the 2nd amendment to the constitution. It states...

Why Suicide?
Was your life so bad you saw
suicide as the only option, Jason?
Was committing suicide because you were
failing the ninth grade worth the cost
of your dad dying of grief or your mom
spending twenty years in a mental hospital?
Was it worth leaving me to feel partly
responsible because I didn't go to an adult when
I had the chance? The Next day, when I asked our
math teacher if you were in school, he confirmed my
worst fear of the events of...

Haunted Insane Asylum
I lived in Faribault Minnesota-it's a small town where everyone knows everyone. Well there is an old insane asylum that is now run down. It's boarded up and has been there for years. Teenagers like to go in there and mess around and do drugs.
Well I have been in that place and it's creepy! As I was walking through the tunnel and it leads to the old asylum, well I was walking through there as I heard screaming seeming like it was far away but it echoed so far.
I got to the end of the tunnel. As I walked to the asylum, I was with friends- we all got to the end even though we...

Bloody Mary Returns
My stepmother was vile. I guess most kids think that when their father remarries. But in this case, it was true. She only married Father because he was rich, and she hated children. There were three of us – me (Marie), my middle brother Richard and my youngest brother Charles. We were the price my stepmother Gerta paid for being rich. And we were all that stood between her and inheriting Father's money when he died. So she took steps against us.
She sent my youngest brother Charles away to boarding school overseas. It had a good, scholarly reputation, but it also had...

Bloody Mary
She lived deep in the forest in a tiny cottage and sold herbal remedies for a living. Folks living in the town nearby called her Bloody Mary, and said she was a witch. None dared cross the old crone for fear that their cows would go dry, their food-stores rot away before winter, their children take sick of fever, or any number of terrible things that an angry witch could do to her neighbors.
Then the little girls in the village began to disappear, one by one. No one could find out where they had gone. Grief-stricken families searched the woods, the local buildings, and all the houses and...

Nightmare Cabin
one night while John was at camp,
he was exploring the grounds when
a bad storm came. Seeing that cabin
thirteen was unlocked and the closest,
he went inside. His consoler called
him and he gave a verbal response where
he was and said he would see his consoler
in the morning. Later that night John heard
a strange noise, as if someone was being hanged.
But, dismissed it. He thought, "I'm just hearing
things. It's just my imagination and the storm
and being in this cabin alone. Besides Angela let
me carry her .45" Shortly...

Civilize The Universe
Bombs exploding, and tears are flowing, chasing rockets and gasping for air
You can call it justice or retribution, yet the reasons are never clear
Freedom is just man's invention and a soldier is just a slave
Self inflicted, so addicted, bad habits are hard to break
I'm alive
Watching better turn to worse
One more time
Try to civilize the universe
Without the righteous, without the faithful, we would never accept the obscene
A false confession, a priest's obsession gives the demon a light to be seen
Burn the witch and hang deserters, there's...
