Go away from the darkness, child It will serve you no good; will only increase your pain, tho' it may, temporarily, go away Will return, with such haste as physics can bear, Will stalk you eternally in your grave's deep despair A dark shadow dinting your mood Following you every where Until your nice long sleep, child Stay out of that ominous jail.

Drug Abuse
And comets fall like fire rain across the sky/ With each heavenly falling Into the new night I can see the planet smashing/ Violently into our perfect world People crying Don’t take it in Fathers running/ Home from work To wake their children It is the end Rivers flowing once so beautifully/ Now they cease to be Mountains tall and prosperous/ Are no more Waking thoughts and superb dreams/ Float into The Abyss We are no more.

Stay Away From the Darkness
We are going to move soon. Mom says we are going to California. Fear and discontent; ghosts of old memories coming back to haunt us. Sun-baked cigars lose their precious scent like once-joyful families lose their only redeeming qualities in times of hardship and abandonment. Swallowed tears hurt my throat and my sisters are lost, lost even more than I am, and that hurts my soul. Moving without knowing where, tossing our lives up into the air to see where it takes them. Tumbleweed flying through towns abandoned, irrespective of its previous path, Where will it come to a halt? Blood-leaking hearts screaming giant black bold words at eachother to see who will leak out first. Tumultuous times a rhythmic pattern in life’s depressing story, which at best is witty—never happy. Love and crushes demoted to mere memories glazed-over by more pressing ones. Piercing judging eyes spot the handcuffs of my arresting shame and seize them; from there they can take me anywhere. Stories of death, doom, destruction on the news, but to them I am cold and indifferent. Heart calloused by self-punishment I see no good, no evil. Oppressive overcast sky mingling with rambunctious sea forming holy alliance, beautiful horizon infinite and superb. Perhaps there is hope in constant chaos.

Hope in Chaos.
Drones strike down on innocent Arabs Capitalist exploiters enslave poor Asians Never before has there been so much international unity Against a common enemy: Justice. Humanity desperate and starved Rights and legalities ignored by power-hungry Israelis funded by Americans who know not of what is really happening. Trillions in circulation, a global economy Rich getting unbelievably richer, without a doubt but the poor stay poor and in their misery they dare to demand more Politicians. Global warming, eminent catastrophe Foundation of capitalism cracking and crumbling Where, now, will humanity turn? Towards the new, and away from the old.

The Present
Oh winding road, how you twist and turn me nauseous and absurd. Make me question, make me think Make me believe something I don't want to be true. I know the game, and how it is usually played: you test my soul, I test yours, then see who will win out, who first will fold. Will not race down this windy road, will not make haste lest life itself be debased, for even in this nausea and absurdity The turns are awfully exhilarating.

Winding Road
Omnipotent sun, glaring and oppressive—fields of corn forced to endure this awe-inspiring entity, always to be overpowered by its intensity. Running horses, galloping freely towards a heavenly construct: a striking castle, towering and immemorial. Multitudes of magnanimous people devilishly deceived into slavish certainty! Dejected by doubt, they find comfort in their artificial answers! Drugs, death and disease–awards, families, and pictures smiling. Good, and Bad, both as necessary, both as despicable. Reflections of tiny-selves in mirrors, ego confined to skin-tight borders, painful limitations eminent and inevitable. Eternity is near, approaching without hesitation. So I want to fly up, high enough to be swallowed up by the sun and ****** into time infinite...
