And now I know how Joan of Arc felt Now I know how Joan of Arc felt As the flames rose to her Roman nose And her Walkman started to melt Bigmouth Bigmouth Bigmouth strikes again And I've got no right to take my place with the human race~

Oh in love with this !
It's 4:39 in the morning I should've been asleep an eternity ago But I decided to watch a movie Or something to promote the smiths I think so Jokes aside heaven knows I'm miserable now Or I always have been But the one thing i realised is Maybe I really haven't experienced what heartbreak was? Yeah i went through a breakup, but it's just not the same Am I stupid to want a love that shatters me the moment it drops on the floor? Would someone ever care about me like I'm a fragile little glass flower Or would they always treat me like I'm just a plastic box, unbreakable. Well it's my fault too, the way I take those beatings to my heart as they slowly breaks me up But for once in my life, could I just get what I want? Maybe it's all imagination, The term love But coincidentally that's where I reside my imagination With my dreams to get shattered like a bottle of old monk I should probably head to sleep, cause it's 4:45 now And I hope I return here before somebody completely breaks my heart.

Happy Friday
Have I forgotten Autumn in a name? Did I forget the warm blood in these icy veins? Last year had I sung my last song on a floating memory? Red leaves, red leaves Falling trees, soon likened to me Cool air on the breeze Soothe voices that smoothly ease Downed by the crack in the concrete "I know its over" Morrissey sings Oh mother,  I can hear my happiness coming back to me

Autumn on the Breeze
Far and gone, how could it ever change? And the songs played on and on. This is what they are for. Get you through life's gold and down pour. Upon a nice day the songs are a blur. But when you need them right from your heart where they were stored they'll caress, caress, caress you so. And a pleasant voice so human and genuine guides you, lulls you, holds you, saves you. In your room now pacing and dancing exactly where you were once crying. Oh the hope Oh the sound Oh the words Oh the music How could you ever repay or thank or say how much the songs, songs from a soul, renewed you so. Oh it's all a mystery, but not the source, no. The songs were your friends when you didn't know where to go.

Oh the songs
Strangers. Strange kids, Even stranger circumstances. Let's give this another go. Let's finish this race and pray we don't collapse. Take a shot in the dark, Throw a dart at a blank bull's eye. Just Please.                           Please.                                                 Please. Let me get what I want. -m.c.

Junk Drawer Love
I stand before you, not as an expert, but as a concerned citizen. One of the four hundred thousand people who marched in the streets of New York on Sunday and the billions of others around the world who want to solve our climate crisis. As a poet, I pretend for a living. I play fictitious characters often solving fictitious problems. I believe that mankind has looked at climate change in that same way; as if it were a fiction. As if pretending that climate change wasn’t real would somehow make it go away. But I think we all know better than that now. Every week we’re seeing new and undeniable climate events, evidence that accelerated climate change is here, right now. Droughts are intensifying, our ocean’s are acidifying, with methane plumes rising up from the ocean floor. We are seeing extreme weather events and the west Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets melting at unprecedented rates decades ahead of scientific projections. The scientific community knows it. Industry knows it. Governments know it. Even the United States military knows it. The chief of the US navy’s Pacific command, Admiral Samuel Locklear recently said that climate change is our single greatest security threat. My friends, this body, perhaps more than any other gathering in human history now faces this difficult but achievable task. You can make history or you will be vilified by it. To be clear, this is not about just telling people to change lightbulbs or to buy a hybrid car. This disaster has grown beyond the choices that individuals make. This is now about our industries and our governments around the world taking decisive large-scale action. We need to put a price tag on carbon emissions and eliminate government subsidies for all oil, coal, and gas companies. We need to end the free ride that industrial polluters have been given in the name of a free market economy. They do not deserve our tax dollars, they deserve our scrutiny. For the economy itself will die if our ecosystems collapse. This is not a partisan debate, it is a human one. Clean air and a livable climate area inalienable human rights and solving this crisis is not just a question of politics. It is a question of our own survival. But now it is your turn. The time to answer humankind’s greatest challenge, is now. We beg of you to face it with courage and honesty. Thank you

If I made a list of things I would like to own It would have A garden on the roof, Maybe a pipe that I wouldn't even use, A collection of every Smiths' record, A yellow bird that I would call Jules, I'm not sure, I could do with a bottle of Perrier right now, Oh and my own house Right by the sea. I don't care about the order I just know That right on the top It would have you. F.Z.N
