"Do you believe in global warming?"
they asked me
as though it was something you could choose to believe in
like santa
sitting on the melting polar ice caps

wondering how else he could tickle our fancies
for our momentary pleasure
one sizzling christmas eve

ā€œbutā€, they said, ā€œbut its all circumstantial,
Andā€, they said,"all natural,
All part of a cycle,
all part of a plan-
And there’s no evidence anyways"
Is santa melting?
Do ice caps exist?
Who knows!

Who knows?
this is a rather strange poetry slam, but i feel like it's important because theres no snow in Toronto and its February...

You whine to the wind
And wonder why nobody's listening
We're blocking you out
And dodging your beloved raincloud

An embodiment of things unwanted
His body still remains untouched
His voice was always so resented
And he never amounted to much

So on the edge of the bridge
His soul stone and his heart singed
*He sees his reflection in the river
And decides it's time to meet it

Who is the 'you' that singers sing too?
The 'you' that sends poets diving through vast oceans for poetic pearls?

You're the rain on windows late at night, natures own lullaby.
You're the sun rays in which I bask, you make me feel alive.

You is a collective term.
An indistinguishable figure, a faceless being.
'You' are a silent understanding. Universal.

You hold the promise pleasure and pain of all the bodied 'you's that tarnished your name.
'You' are the silence we scream because the world talks to loud to hear us.

'You' are the nameless, holding up all the 'me's' that aren't strong enough to say this.
'You' are the silence we crave when to speak their names can only pain us.

You craved to be alone until you drove yourselves apart
Now you're wishing for a soul that can mend your broken heart
The worst is that your hearts are broken pieces that are lost
And the only missing piece you see was the thief from the startĀ Ā 

But it's all a false conviction, you know handed it away
With your will completely free, a gift with the name engraved
It was the both of you, maybe you both needed a break
Your problems were minuscule, but your arguments drove you insaneĀ Ā 

When you're without each other your happiness runs astray
But when you're both way to stubborn and need to have your way
You sacrifice your love and you maximize your pain
Because you put aside feelings and you don't watch what you say

I craved to be alone, but now I'm longing for your arms
I wanted to go away, but I'm still that hoping you call
I know you feel the same there laying too, feeling so lost
We somehow craved to be alone but we just wanna feel at home

Our love was burning hotter, now I will risk being scorched
Because my heart is burning out without you, your heart is the fuel
My heart is the torch that craves your love until the end
So let's be gentle with this flame and not let it fade away again

Hi, how are you doing, sir?
What can I get for you today?

We want what's in your pocket
There's nothing wrong with it
You're used to it and over it
Five cents for one hundred

Our world spins around with
That rustling sound of your wallet
Pull it out, we'll pocket it
We'll feed you and your habits

We won't give you back
Everything we take
You put in hours of labor, sacrifice
For a taco-12-pack to take it away

You're always right to us, trust me
I'll repeat your words mockingly

We don't value you, hear the sound?
It's the evil that makes our world go 'round

Hi I'm a robot, and you're just a number
You'll regret eating your life away

Hi! How are you? How can I help you?
What can I get for you today?
My valued customer and appreciated consumer. Only the best for *you
