Ocho the Owl Nov 2013
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 drum that exists within me
is ALIVE

Alive & well....be on the lookout

Imagine releasing
All your problems
All worries, frustrations

Right now
At this very moment

What does it feel like?

Ocho the Owl Nov 2013
There's a dead bird that sits upon a bush

I wonder if he felt anything at the
time of his passing...

I wonder why he died...

I wonder if it had a chance
to produce offspring...

What if it had lived one more day?

I hope his passing was...necessary

He cried out repeatedly

No one listened

He asked for help on numerous occasions

No one came

He leaped and fell

They mourned the "loss"
Ocho the Owl Nov 2013
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

Wouldn't it be nice
For once
To entangle yourself in the
Urge to help others?

There's no shortage of souls here
That could use someone like you

Do you know
what its like to wake up

next to a
glowing creature

who adored you
With all
her heart?

I do

He grins and bears it
I don't know the reason

Day in and day out
season after season

Will this winter approaching
be the last for you, friend?
I hope you find strength
to push through to the end

Singing! Singing!

Without a care in the world....

All the leaves and turning
and ready for burning...

A fine balance that now comes into being

Being....is......beguiling

All at once.....the flow comes and goes
Going......going.....gone

You are enough
When you believe that you are

You are in control here
No one else

NO ONE
remember that

You are enough
When you believe that you are

— The End —
