There's a tree by the edge of a cliff
Where ol Donald sits and wonders what if
should he jump to his death
he's got nothing left
but to hope that his end come quite swift

The sound of the traffic at that hour was completely deafening

She tried to pick herself up
but couldn't

After a few minutes she finally managed to lift herself up
Bruised and bleeding, she limped over to the curb nearby

"Fractured arm, for sure" she thought as she looked around for her phone

She'd been using it only moments before the accident
She spotted it in the middle of the intersection

Crushed into oblivion
  
The car that hit her was long gone
She was lucky to be alive...

Always...
ALWAYS...
Keep both ears wide open...
*And never ignore what you hear...

They never spoke

Both usually arrived at the coffee shop around the same time

Those hours right before the sun arose to share its brilliance with the world

For weeks they would always be the only two people in there that early

One brisk morning the old man glanced over his steaming cup
and spoke to the young man

He looked him dead in his eyes...

Always...
ALWAYS...
keep both eyes wide open
And never ignore what you see

The very next day the old man never arrived

He never saw him again...

Last night  I arrived at the ghastly conclusion
that our species really might be quite doomed

We **** and we pillage for fun, yes we do
and we won't quit until our planet is ruined

I had wished and had hoped
that our kind might make haste
To make world hunger a thing of the past

But alas it won't happen
well just keep on consuming
until our beautiful home is turned to ash

This is an ode to my brothers & sisters
who valiantly tried to save us from ourselves
Although the efforts were noble,
we were doomed from the start,
so I guess we'll see you in hell

Reach high and above
I know that you can
Reach with all of your might

Reach far and beyond
These so called restrictions
That dampen and darken your light

Reach high and so mighty
That people will banter
And journey from miles around

To share in your laughter
To thrill in your vision
Of being the greatest human in town

Xavier kinear had a very long beard
That hung right down to his feet

His neighbors point and children giggle
when crows would build nests underneath

But alas poor kinear
One day gave a scare
To a woman who was mentally ill

She pulled out a mallet
And swung it with malice
Which gave kinear and his crows quite a thrill

Green, green the flow goes quite deep
like water from mountains
that flow unto creeks

It surrounds and astounds
it scratches and claws
it burrows and burrows
inside narrow halls

The halls of my mind
are oozing and rich
with handsome amounts
of wisdom to teach

These copious words
that continually flow
shall continue to gush
until I am no more

Gush, my loves, gush
until I am no more

Every *** has its lid
Or at least that's what I've heard
like every car has it's driver
and every tree has it's bird

Oh how I've waited for mine
How I've pondered and schemed
While heart muscle beckons
and my patience grows lean

every year I get older
every year I grow sad
that my lid is still missing
or possibly dead

All my dreams are but windows
to things that aren't real
and yet I can't help but wonder
why I feel how I feel

Every *** has its lid
Like a drunk needs his ***
I hope it's tonight
when my lid finally comes

He lay in a pool of blood...

More and more people started to crowd around him...

He looked left
Then up

A single tear emerged
Then rolled down his cheek

Not enough time

He mumbled through his teeth as
he groaned from the pain

More light...

More light...

Then he stopped moving completely

His eyes remained fixated in something he had in his hand
as he lay lifeless on the floor

I bet she's sitting down somewhere...eating.
Same as me!

He pondered

Paused

Then continued to...

Then stopped suddenly

He picked up the empty tray in front of him where his burrito just was and hurled it as hard as he could against the wall across from him

He watched it explode into small pieces
In slow motion

His lips began to tremble
he glanced over across the street

A young couple
Holding hands
Smiling

And suddenly it became very apparent to him

Very, VERY APPARENT

He wasn't to make it here

Not if things continued the way they were going

Rather

The way they've always been...

One of these days, he was going to finally hurt himself

Mortally

The thing was he couldn't bring himself to do it
with some kind of self-inflicted wound

Too painful

so he would more than likely fill his pockets with
heavy rocks and jump into the ocean

He couldn't swim after all

All because his prayers for HELP
fell on deaf ears

The creator made him exactly the way he was
so be could ultimately take his own life

He sat by the edge of the water...
watching the seagulls

and just listened...

The defendants' plea is obvious, your honor...

Guilty

I admit it...he said in a serious tone

I...I...
I've forgotten what it is like
to feel a woman's caress across my cheek

I can't recall how it feels to awaken
and have her right next to me

His eyes clench up and start to surrender
tears as he continues

Her sullen figure

Motionless majesty

Mountains, plains and terrains as far as the eyes can see
Did I explore enough?
When it was mine to explore...

Did I?

He looks up

Is there something I could've done differently?

No
Not this time

No no no
Not again

I'm not going to lose my cool and transform into an abominable ghoul
and yell at someone I respect for no apparent reason

No

I'm not going to repeatedly punch a wall until I have be rushed to
the emergency room because my hand has swelled up to the size of a baseball mitt

No
**** that

I'm not going to fantasize what it would be like to
put the barrel of a gun in my mouth and pull the trigger

No

No no no

This time

I'm going to look at my fiendish emotional wave
right in the eye

and put it exactly where it belongs

Behind me
