On the production line where time is wrapped in cellophane and no two times look quite the same,
where no one bothers to explain
I complain.

I could ****** each second in under a minute but the infinite clock ticks on.
Every hour overpowers me
and as if by some humorous trickery
each day seems much longer and the line becomes stronger.

Time has seeped into my bones
destroying what's left of my few chromosomes
and in monochrome tints
time hints at my death.
Is my last gasping breath to be on the line?
Has everything got to be about time?

And every day I get sicker the line gets much quicker.
My ticket to ride is about to be cancelled.
Denied.
They lied when they cried that we'll all live forever
I never believed it anyway.

On another day at another shift
I lift up my face and catch a glance of the grin.
Time has got into me now
it's too late for me
how
can I escape?
It hurts when they are gone.
Many men cry when they are alone.
Some never ever imagine them been gone.
But nothing is promise forever.
So we should cherish there when they are here.
Cause it hurt when they are gone.

Many daughters comprehend this more.
Many reminds you totally of them.
From the things they do.
From the things they say.
But like I said.
Nothing last forever.

Being rebellious might seems cool then.
But when you lose one.
You lost a good friend.
Now, if you lose two.
That's when your lonliness really begins.

Yes, you have the memories.
But you lost your very best of friends.
These folks, we simply call parents.

Who guided you?
Who molded you?
Who taught the golden rule to you?
And didn't take much off of you.

Temper tandrum was jumping rope.
That was one area you didn't want to go.
You wonder, how others got that far.
When knowing your parents brought them to a stop.
Oh, it hurt when they are gone.

You take, what you was taught?
And try to adjust.
But loving parents don't come often in your life.
So, it hurt when they are gone.

Pictures brings back good and sad memories.
When you realize you could have been a better child.
But somethings we all regret to late.
And would have changed them, if we only had one more chance.
But this one case, where it can't be?
So you hold on to those comfortable memories.
While it still hurt when they are gone.

Each person hurt in different ways.
But when one loses a parent.
You comprehend their pain.
Cause you have been there.
And although life isn't fair.
In most cases you knew your parent cared.
He cuts her with his words of hate
She has no bruises to hide
Her scars are there but never show
She carries them deep inside

He calls her stupid, a worthless girl
It's been that way for years
Some nights she cries herself to sleep
While drowning in her tears

Her self-esteem is all but gone
He's stripped her of her shame
Keeping her an empty shell
Her soul now broken and maim

And though he's never raised his hand
His abuse is easy to find
She sees the world with hollow eyes
As he tries to control her mind

He cuts her with his words of hate
She has no bruises to hide
What we see is all that's left
For a piece of her has died
Every boy she met,
found her very hot,
but she only wanted to be jilted,
nascent insecurity or free spirit?
When the earth in Spring
and all the yellows are nearly green
exploding ripe the catkin maple seeds
hung for flitting sparrows

When swift the clouds
dark, with pelting rain
of droplets wet pooling
in the hollows

As the clouds give way to sun
move hurriedly to fill the day with light
there where tiny budding leaves
are greening in the shadows
Please, do not leave!!
My heart would be torn forever
Bleeding like the flowers called: Bleeding Hearts
Forever crying forever weeping
Forever depressed
I beg you not to leave
Of all the people on HP you are the best
The best yet!!!
The VERY best ever!!
Forever tears falling
From fair cheeks
!

I cannot deny
That coming here
Makes me feel better

And I'm not the only one.

As I look around
I can see friends,
Neighbours,
The whole community
Brought together
By the shared belief
In an afterlife.

But is that the only reason
That we come?

Could there also be
A little bit of guilt?

Or do we just fear
The judgement of others?

Ultimately
I suppose it really is
A question of faith

Because none of us
Really know for sure

Whether any of it
Actually gets recycled.
Just to be clear, I'm not "anti-green".
I still think that recycling makes good sense. However, when I hear reports that the material I take to a recycling centre actually ends up as foreign landfill, it does rather test my faith in the whole process!
