If you don't like me
then why do you stare?
Are my eyes so captivating
that you need to catch them
every time?

Why is it impossible for you
to avoid me? Is my hair as dark and flowing
as your favorite Disney princess?

You are obsessed
with my attention.
I see the thirst, I speak
your body's language.

You flaunt illusion in
the way you walk
begging me to look up.

Each step is intentionally
slow as syrup. Why are you so
keen on my
wanting you?

I consider and meditate
and reconsider and finally
my moral fiber is weak,
I glance.

The moment-- I know
you feel it too.
The hot stuff in the air.
It makes your short blonde hairs
stand up.

Every time, you have always
been staring first. And once caught,
your eyes don't move
the air between
its a lockout.
You never smile.

I always assumed I was the one
stalking you, but lately
I don't know who is
following who.

Eventually we all burnout

To wear the mask is a work out

But it's comfort in the form of a hideout

Used to lockout

All self doubt

But we all break down

As

thick skin, thins out

____

be aware that the people that seem to have the
thickest skin have the softest hearts holding all the  feelings in waiting for a time when its okay to Break apart

That's mostly on their own, so that no one knows  *how Much they hurt

A union man
makes his plan
with an idle hand

one million belong
one million strong
one million wrong

we have your back, just pay your dues
we will give the answers to all the clues

we will tell you when to work or strike
we will write your good book and be god-like

you will become a scab if you dont conform
just sign this and be safe from the storm

walkout turns to lockout and un-employment
out of work as you watch the scab deployment

A union man
makes his plan
with an idle hand

one million belong
one million strong
one million wrong
Two
I tried to write
and they didn't
go right,

it wasn't my day
and it doesn't look like
it's going to be my  night,

hey
I'll get over it
I've
been through this before.
that
when one door closes crap
is just that
a closed door
so
whatya waiting for?
move on.

The washing machine is still spinning,
in a war of who's ****** the most
I am still winning by a technical
lockout.

Bank Holiday?
they're always on fukin holiday.
