Humanity i love you
because you would rather black the boots of
success than enquire whose soul dangles from his
watch-chain which would be embarrassing for both

parties and because you
unflinchingly applaud all
songs containing the words country home and
mother when sung at the old howard

Humanity i love you because
when you’re hard up you pawn your
intelligence to buy a drink and when
you’re flush pride keeps

you from the pawn shop and
because you are continually committing
nuisances but more
especially in your own house

Humanity i love you because you
are perpetually putting the secret of
life in your pants and forgetting
it’s there and sitting down

on it
and because you are
forever making poems in the lap
of death Humanity

i hate you

Don't
Look.

Please

Don't look at me.

Don't
Ask me
If I'm
Okay.

Don't.

Please don't.

Leave
Me
Alone.

I like
Alone.

I don't
Want
Company

Don't
Look
At
Me.

Please.

Mindless laze
To pass the days
Not love but love lost
Life seemed to be tossed
Like a ship at sea.

A cage to snare the mind
Oh the pain and ruthless bind
An escape you cannot find
Tearing ripping at the soul
Leaving nothing but a dark,
Empty hole.

Dark is the mind
Light left behind
Time is never enough
To find one to confide.

Eyes close shut
Dreams have long disappeared
Only the cold reality that you've always feared.
Images of demons, and burning flesh
A terrible ending but you don't distress.

Somewhere out of the pain and defeat
There comes a fulfilling peace.
As strange as it seems
you know that it is done
A feeling of relief.

Dark is the mind
Light left behind
Time is never enough
To find one to confide.

Never to return
You take your last breath
Lying on the floor
Heaving your chest
Asking yourself why
Where it began and what you've become
To the beast you begin to succumb.

To give up life
A thing many fight to keep.
It seems so selfish to take your own
Ending yourself, I can't condone.
Dark is the Mind.
