A kiss on the forehead
Is a gesture of betrayal
It's not a kiss of love
Filled with joy and humor.
Why don't you stand up,
And address the class, since you're so keen
On starting offhand conversations?
Austerity catapults into
It's simply futile treading cold water
Rising past my green ankles
O how its barbarous teeth bite and sting!
My toes are engulfed by sea's spiteful jaws
Veins pierced by blind eyes;
Worship is a fetish.
Worship rocks, worship animals, worship planets, worship stars, worship sky, worship ground, worship man, worship mind, worship everything you can wrap your brain around and then worship everything you can't.
All alone with my sorrowful thoughts
Constantly running through my head
Making each moment unbearable
The silence only makes them worse
Trying to think of other thoughts
But they are no match for the sorrow
A crime each day
Took care of by people
What should we pay?
Should we go more to the steeple?
Why do we do such things?
How can we be mean?
Hear the church bell ring
Last night,
As I opened my window
The soft breeze came
Running in
scared of the complete darkness.
If I could drink my tears, I’d no longer be thirsty.
If they would quench the fire, I’d no longer be burning.
If they would wash away the worms, I’d no longer be hurting.
I walk among a crowd,
All moving in one direction.
To the right, to the right, to the right,
They chanted.
Suddenly I saw a person stopped walking,
So I stopped and thought for a second.
“This child is really special,” they said,
And I feared. For what if they were wrong?
But I smiled politely and got lost in my head.
I was given the test and immediately felt dread.
She sits all alone
In a room full of hate
She stares at their eyes
And notices they’re fake
……………………………
Look at me with those malicious voids you call eyes,
Not truly eyes because you show no soul through them.
My bum firmly planted in the chair of torture, you watch me slowly die.
The ignorance of peopleAlong with the pain I'm dealing with insideAnd slowly driving me mad
