This little electronic corner of the world
We write about perms and fades and smoking J's
Instead of vision and living and learning faith
Creating something to remember takes a backseat to taking drugs to forget your failed attempts
   And in contempt you tell yourself you'll try harder
                   Get smarter
      And either die a martyr
    Or retire the father of a son or a daughter who will live on and alter the empire you built or the entire world which we live
           But you acknowledge none of this will happen if you don't try

And then you get high
And do exactly that


     And pass the time between coming down and lighting up by writing about perms and fades and smoking J's
you
you're aching, and tragicly breaking.
living your life in dispair.
your praying, and you're waiting,
for someone who doesnt care,
he was never really there.

you're burning, and you're yearning,
for him to come through,
stop wasting all your time on him,
and just start loving you.
ty all so much for likeing my poem im very flattered! :D
I wonder the road you're traveling my friend
Are you having fun I wonder
That's all I want out of life
Will you persist on this path of self destruction?
I've often been told you can't save everyone
Maybe I've seen too much Superman in my days
I've thrown you my hand a couple of ways
You're the drain they warned me about
Put it all in like a wishing well
It's not real but you do it anyway
Pernicious your actions but you don't give two *****
A mind filled with disarray but you seem conscious
The fun we had was unforgettable, it's haunting every time
To know you're on that same kick, memory, and line
We could have been best friend hell we were
A parasite inside you yearning to take over, has it always been in control?
Are you even still home, I really want to know...
Light me like a fire,
and extinguish me like rain.
Illuminate my darkness,
and numb my persistent pain.

could someone please tell me

of the moons intentions

and of their affair

with Jupiter's rings

when lo and behold

Io has a fire in her belly

snowy volcanic fields

burning ice in her spring

Europa stands by

displaying cold shoulders

with oceans below

life she does bring

brother Ganymede

pulls it together

dark are his regions

light his terrain

beaten and battered

Callisto the stepchild

unchanged in its matter

and the song that it sings

is this all true

of Jupiter's moons

and of their intentions

could someone tell me
Reading up on Jupiter's moons I was fascinated with their differences and just how many it has. These four are the closest of the Galilean moons.
Io, Europa, Ganymede, Callisto
