 Dec 2016 Melpomene
Harumi Ikeda
She thought she was one step ahead
But life was passing her by

She believed in the fairy tales
Thinking she was the princess
But someone else was sporting the crown

She said she never cried
But here she is
In front of him
Sobbing violently

Because now she knows
The truth
And it's ugly as ever
 Dec 2016 Melpomene
Arthur Vaso
Some say the glass is half full
Some say the glass in half empty
They all focus on the job of the glass
No matter the contents
The glass is there
In sadness or happiness
Toiling with duty and abuse
Next time you see a glass
Wrap your hand around it
In comfort
For there is nothing in this whole universe
That is not joined and one
Feeling both pain and love
Remember these simple words
Then you shall carry humility like a medicine gun
Curing all that ails mankind
As one, the universe is never blind
Do not be the fool, instead be kind
Some look in the mirror and do not see the beauty inside of them that stares back, I wish I could cure their blindness for they have pure and good hearts, even I have none at all.
