A Sinking Feeling

I wonder could I fit all my worries
In a sink.
The kind that's big and square and white
The likes we have out back
To bed the camomile.
Worries for society's decline,
I'm sure a few euro would fit in there
And a gun and some cuffs
And a big old block of ice
And perhaps a picture of Kim Kardashian
I heard they think she's to blame.
I doubt it.
Worries for my faith's decline,
Perhaps a Chinese flag
For an imprisoned congregation,
A bomb to show our Holy Wars,
Waged when we should unite
Against a slipping world view.
Worries for my family,
Hospital bracelets,
Syringes,
Cigarettes,
And mind game magazines.
A cake too, for cholesterol,
Exam papers, money
It's all down to money in the end.
At least I don't have to fit Death in there
He doesn't bother me,
Rather he's an interesting fellow
To talk to, not scary in the least.
I only ask all this,
Though a silly question it seems,
Because if I could I'd like to pull the plug
And see them go rushing down the drain
Never seen again.

I Am...

I am a sponge. Absorbing everything. Filled to capacity. But I am shrinking. Ingesting the poisons. Of a toxic society. I am a mirror. Reflecting an image. Of the world you want to see.

Reaping the Over Soul

Sit back chill. Surf the suffering. Too much equidistant losing. It's time for the standing of something. Enough nothing begot nothing. Stop bluffing. Wait for the cuffing. The nail in the coffin.

Why So Fascinated My Shadow Of I?

Why so fascinated my shadow of I. Annoying sprite in the corner of my eye, Melancholy, joyful, treasonous, or shy, This shadow dutifully dances with I. Why so fascinated my shadow of I.

The Darkest Green

Stabbed in the back. By an unexpected foe. A love affair for more. A part of your nature. Falling unforgiven. By thy own will. Tortured by All it took. But greeted by answers. Better than you dreamed.
