My contribution
To society
Has been minimal

I live without plans
Without goals

Born into a prosperous society
Born into a prosperous family

Lazy
I suppose so, yes

I admire the workers
Of the world
Who toil
Who must toil
To eat

To put food
Into their mouths

I admire those
Who are committed
To something good

Doctors or nurses
Farmers
Whatever it may be

As for me
I hardly contribute
At all
To this society

It's just
I have no need to

Let others achieve
Let others work

The basic necessities
Of life
Have been provided

And so
I will work
Twice a week at most

There are my documentaries
They interest me

I don't need more
I'm just going to do
The minimum

Relax and rest

I'm not here
To make a big commitment

No plans
For a career

Autumn Rose
The brown leaves
that shiver on the
bare branches greet
the last rays of gold
as the sun goes down.
A melody rises over
that velvet, shade of
fading green.
Bells of the indifferent
wind chime, for I am led
to a miracle of ancient
mother.
How beautiful...
A rose that grows waywardly
from within autumn's woods.
Spirits delighted to see the
rose that will not die, her red
petals shame my lips while
drooped sisters weep bitterly.
And in my garden, exquisite
fragrance,
Old memories,so sweet,
despite the thorns.
Illusions of the happiness of
the asleep and the dead...
Yesterday evening as i was walking through the forest, i saw a gorgeous red rose in front of an old abandoned house that still has not drooped...

Let your tears fall down.
It's not a weakness that others may found.
It's pouring your all in all in the ground
To sprout the new you with a crown.

"you loose the moon, then be a star.
It's not too soon be who you are.
Wherever road looks way to far.
It's not what you have,
It's who you are.

Its never the glory, it's never the score.
It's not about seeing who's less and who's more.
Cause when you found out how fast and how far
you'll know it's not of what you have,
It's who you are."
                                      - A.J Michalka, It's who you are
                                                *theme song from the movie The Secretariat

"Welcome to the fallout
Welcome to resistance
The tension is here
Between who you are and who you could be
Between how it is and how it should be..."

Panting…
We’re in search again.
Another blister to rub.
Another tired shoulder.

Don’t let my eyes shut.

Alert…
Red alert…yelling…

This unknown place
To add in my list

Rain falls.
Muddy. Sweaty.

Pebbles…

There’s a pebble in my combat shoes
Can’t stop right now.
The sun will rise soon.
“Be there at 3am”, command I hear.

The wild creatures are creeping for escape.
The wild forest,
The strange sound of birds humming their anthem.
Sounds like a lament.

Stop!
Get down.
Look, listen…

This strange shoes gets my morale low.

Pebbles…more pebbles…
Need to take off now.
My feet are swelling.

-(Silence)-

Bomb!

High pitch. I can hear a high pitch in my left ear.
Can’t get up right now.
Need to stay low.
Blow all the lead I’ve got.

Man down. 1, 2, 3…

Putting on… putting my shoes on.
Need for my retreat.
No time now, can’t be late in half second.
There it lays, my combat shoes in the wild.
