Take a spoonful of hate
a dusting of jealousy
a cup of bile
and stir.

Set on a high heat
add a family member or two,
cook until tender.
Serve with respect.

Life isn't about sugar and spice
and all things nice, it's about balance.
Balancing the good with the bad.
Love with hate.

Kindness and anger, all
basic human emotions.
Poverty and riches.
Jealousy and forgiveness.

All of us alive, need to remember,
remember, what came before,
and ask one simple question;
"What am I living for?"

We were never meant to be.

shout here, shout there..
shout there, shout here..
you see, the food is yummy
but not with shouting mummy and daddy.

shout here, shout there..
shout there, shout here..
you see, i keep on eating
but my tongue taste nothing.

silence here, silence there..
silence there, silence here..
you see, i finished my food
and tomorrow the shouting to be continued.
Well, our neighbors had been fighting again and i thought "how was their dinner?". And also this is my first.
