"You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is like the ocean; if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty."
I met a genius on the train today about 6 years old, he sat beside me and as the train ran down along the coast we came to the ocean and then he looked at me and said, it's not pretty. it was the first time I'd realized that.

I Met A Genius
'"Why girls who have close relationships with their father, make better wives" "Why girls with 'daddy issues' are too complicated" Enough I say, just because my father didn't decide to be in my life,         Doesn't mean I am less of a person or would make a bad wife My absent father does not affect the way I love If anything it's taught me, to hold my head high and stand up If you label me with 'daddy issues' I could only feel pride, For every shattered disappointment I felt and for every tear I cried For the days spent wishing and the night spent alone, I realized I did not need a man, to build my backbone Funny how absence can work in my favor I am now stronger than ever, my own gleaming savior So for boys who can't handle these women so strong Stop trying to label us problematic and make us seem 'wrong'

"daddy issues"
Oh how glorious war is! How efficient And adequate! The way it entertains the gods When we shoot fireworks and missiles into the sky It accustoms young women to waiting Awards men for slaughtering men Inspires tyrants to deliver long speeches Adds pages to history books Gives politicians something to bet on Brought tears to Einstein’s eyes Leaves men scarred for life Gives poets new themes Like Bukowski and Cummings It produces less mouths to feed Teaches historians that history is always repeating itself Gives governments something to brag about Pulverises countries until nothing is left Accomplishes equality between killer and killed Keeps the industry of artificial limbs in business Gives grave diggers a pat on the back See how glorious war can be?

The positives of war.
you saw sadness, and you never noticed the pain. you heard the thunder, and ignored the rain. but yet you wonder, just why you dug my grave. you saw, my dear. but you cannot see.

You only saw
*One by one, the petals fall, softly to the ground. One by one, my tears fall, rolling down my cheeks. We are just the same, you and I. We are both longing to survive, but as every petal falls and every tear rolls, the beauty inside us slowly dies.*

We are just the same.
He kept it in the fridge On the top shelf On a plastic plate No care for health Opening the door how he would smile But if we looked in there Or mouths would fill with bile It's his most cherished part Y'know when he stole her heart And threw it in the drain Hoping that the rain Would wash away the stain So he kept this part in his fridge A kinda trophy like a kid But only he looks at it As he touches his **** Remembering all the fights Her screaming out into the night For someone to help her now While he slashed and cut And screamed and howled And so he looks into her eyes The fridge light makes them shine As he touches his prize of crime And when he's all spent The fridge door Will close again

Inside The Fridge
Cupid's arrow is such a dangerous thing, Hitting people without a clue, Fixing their hearts together to never fall apart, stuck together like glue. Until one day, Cupid's arrow disappears and the glue fades away, The people become depressed and lose all interest in life, Their hearts feel like they've been ripped apart with a switchblade knife. And once again, that stupid arrow comes flying past, Creating love too fast, and destroying people's hearts, Cupid's arrow is such a dangerous thing.
