I hear someone crying…

 

…a sound of deep misery, grief and woe.

To hear it, is to bring much pain

‘Cause who can believe such hurt is so?

 

I feel for this bringer of sorrow,

This bird without a wing.

I’m sure you once flew high…

…soaring higher

And higher yet,

In the expansive blue sky.

 

But now you lay here grounded

As a sad pathetic thing for eyes.

What disasters could have befallen you,

You poor…

…poor…

…angelic creature?

 

Oh agonizing one…

You harvester of tears…

My heart bleeds for you and all your fears.

 

…

 

I see the face of the fallen one.

It’s a face of gruesome sight.

It’s a face of a joyous clown

Wrenched down in suffering plight.

 

Upon this jester’s face I see make-up running down

Across the cheeks and off the face with a

*sniffle*

*sniffle*

Whimpering frown.

 

I too

Am moved to tears

This is

Too much for me to bear.

 

You poor…

Poor thing

With a big red nose and wild bushy hair.

Bitter cold winters rage deep down inside,

Like painful bloody deaths in war.

Dismembered heads…

Limbs… torn

From their bodies;

Causalities of man’s senseless destruction.

 

I lead this charge en route to hell

Seeking for things outside my reach.

 

I may never find my peace,

For I may never stand tall again.

The lines have been drawn

And the players take the stage.

Who will come out the victor,

Especially in this day and age?

 

The angels versus the demons!

It’s gonna’ be one hell of a fight!

Hope you bought your tickets…

‘Cause it’s go time tonight!

 

Combo! There’s a jab and hook here!

But the devils take a cheep shot!

Ol’ boy kicked him in the man’s worst spot.

Angels’ on his knees;

From here looks like he’s cryin’, ‘PLLLEEEEAAASSEEEE!’

But the devil just keeps up on him

Knock

                 Knock

                                  Knocking him
on the ground!

 

Wow! I have never seen so profound a fight!

It’s Hell against Heaven,

In this fight ‘tween chaos and light!

 

Angel’s up on his feet looking sorry and raw…

 

OUCH!

 

He just got creamed! Took one in the jaw!

 

But look at the fire in his eyes! Is there a chance yet?

I’m not a gambling man, but I’d take that bet!

 

Uppercut! SLAM!

That has gotta’ hurt!

Right… left… jab… jab… left… right!

 

Angels’ got ‘em up on the rail!

Devil is pinned! He’s blocking…

 

 

 

The struggle of my life,

Whether this or that…

…the clash of titans on my back.

Who’ll win? I don’t know.

But the cock will three times crow.

 

And in the end when this bird does sing,

Only one will stand, in that ring.

 

Then…

And only then

I will then make my choice…

A slave to my nature

With a slave’s voice.

Once upon a night so dark,

As the melodic lark does sing,

I found myself in a hole so deep.

As my slumber creeps, I cry to sleep.

 

When ever will then sun shine bright?

Like my ever lasting night light

That shields me from the horrid creatures of the night?

 

I cringe before the spooky shadows that cover my walls,

Like I hide from the voices that ring out in the halls of my
mind.

 

I turn on the lamp and I find,

That the horrors I dream of

Are bound to the darkness and solitude of night.

 

When will I ever find my peace?

When will my hero come to save me?

 

I will live and die each night,

Slain by the evil powers of fright,

Which stalk and pervade every last goodness of my soul.

 

 

 

I am lost in a deep…

…deep…

…hole.

Who can dig me out?

I do not know…

 

Perhaps it is you…

But you’re so far away!

 

Please stay with me

Just for the moment,

So’s I can sleep and maybe fade away…

Even for a second.

 

Stay with me tonight.

Protect me from those evils of the night.

Keep me safe.

Please…

Keep me warm.

Hold me tight and never let me go.

 

Maybe you can save me.

Maybe you’re the one.

 

But I shall never know,

Until tomorrow morning has come.

Little black beetle crawling on the ground,

Take a look on what’s around.

There are many children at play

Who could ultimately stop

And ruin your day.

 

A giant ball

                       ‘SMACK’

             To the
head,

Could squish and squash and leave you dead.

 

Find no haven under a glass.

Soon things ‘el get hot and sizzle your as…ssssociate

 

With bigger badder bugs with choppers or stingers of the
like.

If any little Tom or Sue threatens…

 

STRIKE!         

STRIKE!

STRIKE!

 

Remember safety in numbers and not venture too far.

Look both ways.

NEVER get into strange cars.

Be proactive not reactive and always pay your bills on time.

And yes, never calling your mother IS a crime.

 

Scurry forth and
head on home! Many dangers lurk around!

Little beetle…

SCCRRRUUUUUNCH!

 

Little beetle! I’m… um… oh dear…

…Ah well…

Time for lunch!

So… I got bored in one of my
classes and came up with these two little dittys. Again, it’s a bit
away from my regular style… but I dig ‘em.

Fell Into A Hole

Once upon a shitty day,
I fell into a hole.
I got muddy.
 
What can I say about my buddy,
Who thought it funny to laugh?

He jeered and jested and thinking I was bested,
Turned around to walk the other way.

I pushed him in,
And he fell in too…

Laugh now fucker!
I own you!

Here I Sat.

I sit.
         Here I’m sitting.
    There I sat.

Who knows if I ever come back?

If I don’t,
Just know this true,
I existed there once…

Just like you.
