I browsed the encyclopedia,
from "aardvark" on to "algebra",
then to "infinity" and "lobster bisque"...
Hey, this one needs an asterisk:
"* Love - this is what it's all about.
It's easy to fall in, hard to get out."
• The moon is not white but red,
• King Charles doesn't own a bed,
• It takes three days for a letter to Fax,
• I did not love my ex.
• A day has twelve hours,
• Someone sent me flowers,
• It's safe to own a Fox,
• I did not love my ex.
• The President never lies,
• A politician is wise,
• I'll never pay a tax,
• I did not love my ex.
• Love doesn't cost a cent,
• It's cheap to pay a rent,
• Slap me I'll never vex,
• I do not love my ex.
I am reading your autobiography, the encyclopedia of you
yet I remain a student of your sclera
a pupil of your pupils
a Vincent of your irises

Everything you do is a recorded data upload
Even when you think that you're in stealth mode
Post pictures and thoughts, what you like and what you don't
You tell the world this, tell em' that, what you will, what you won't
People start what they call all out Facebook Wars
Multiple verbal assaults aimed at someone, they must be bored
Oh don't get me wrong all of these sites have their uses
But people tend to take things too far and abuse it
I shut down all of my profiles so I'm now outta the loop
Except for the very best one right here on Poetry Soup!

"Encyclopedia of an villainous Air Gun"
with platelets of debasing who
a disastrous leg pining, has set me a fire
bring a distasteful villainous villain of rifling, death
SHOW your self
you DEVIL
do you know, could you care
you have raped my soul
of its last remaining grips on proper living sanity
so i do not cry on the outside
but weep, in wanting of revenge
SHOW your self
I demand it of you
SHOW your self
you half human unsettling rotten man thing
for you have brought my leg
to it painful mourning
and yet i dare not go to Dr. Arzt (Dr. Doctor is in German)
because he has never find my sass (ass) to my eyebrow
and so now i say
come not to my grave
with tear in hand
but know, it was by your, rose colored glass
that I live and die in your
guns and rose-watered world
demand justice for all~
The world is black if you see it from earth
The world is white if you stand upon it
This world is the power
of the creatures of night
and it's king has the power
to lessen it's might...
This is the entry to the history of Lore:
the planet that give earth it's night.
and the birthplace of NightHeart.
