Solitary creature of desire,
did the world decide,
to set you on fire?
A simple wish,
it’s all it takes,
to melt a simple heart,
until it breaks,
and while facing the sun,
you may ask why,
this cruel master,
all your joy, he had to deny;
and to his amusement
the sun will sing:
“There’s no joy,
that I can bring”.
A muddy swamp,
where life stands still,
shows the stagnation,
that makes me ill;
every ounce of happiness,
is sucked away by the leeches,
as i drown
in their obnoxious speeches,
and the trees,
a sign of dire consolation,
are now rotting
in eternal damnation;
animals, covered in toxic skin,
breathe poison,
with a sorrowful grin,
whispering, to some kind of god:
"Here comes the wanderer,
whose mind is flawed".

Death and the Terminally Ill Man
In bed lay a man
who was terminally ill.
Near him lingered Death,
eager for the kill.
When offered sweet release,
the man turned it down
and turned Death's grin
into a bony frown.
Death spoke to him,
"Why prolong your fate?",
and the man simply smiled,
"A little longer you can wait."
"A small speck of life on a small speck of dust
in the middle of nowhere space."
Such is the truth that stands before us
that each human has to face.
"A small speck of life on a small speck of dust
in the middle of nowhere space."
That is the truth which is thrust upon us
what a horrible truth to face.
"A small speck of life on a small speck of dust
in the middle of nowhere space."
That is a truth, terrfying to us
deniend by most of our race.
"A small, insignificant, miniscule speck of life."
A hard truth, there is no debate
and yet we tend to fill it with strife
with anger, with pain and with hate.
It only takes a bullet
to turn your dreams to blood
It only takes a moment
for a river to flood
It only takes a person
to bring thousands to their knees
Yet it takes an entire planet
to turn back those evil deeds
