Untitled -- 5.22.2004

There's one less thing

Left to defend

I've lost my grip

And stability again



But it's given a few chances

To observe with hollow eyes

The landmarks that erode away

And the passing patterns in the sky



I haven't spoken in a while

If you care, I apologize

But I've been deep into my studies

And lost in another's guise



What beautiful creatures are we

Who can love, hate and anything in-between

We can express or compress what we know

Or atleast, what we believe



You could consider yourself a best-friend

A sister or brother who lacks the same blood

Then a stupid little argument could rip you in two

And on either side, one would feel betrayed



We classifiy ourselves and each-other

Failure, friend, ally or aquaintance

We live by intangible rules of encounter

And we either shake our hands or explode



Love fades like pencil on paper

You scribble things down to remember them

With or without specifics or details

With time, you'll forget, as will the paper



No matter what



But why do so many thrive on negativity?

Why hate your home country when it's given so much?

Why hate those who fight when they do it for you?

Questions they only answer with yet another question



Life's become far too complicated

Too many diseases, too many phobias

Enough contradictions to make your head spin on its axis

And enough hypocrisy to fuel a vegan missile with beef



An abundance of drama and a serious decline in beauty

So much irrelevant conflict and so many who deny what's real

Everything has to be one color, one shade, one tone

And we may never share, we may simply seperate or conquer



Ladies and gentlemen

I present to you

The logic of present day Earth

And the reason why I love video games.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Sorry about the random absence of rhyme towards the middle. I felt that keeping it up would restrict any kind of expression a bit.
