They crashed the server
But they didn’t lose the poetry
They crashed the server
But they didn’t lose the poetry
Parts of three days the Soup’s been down
With most of us wearing a frown
Trouble started intermittently
Causing some to worry ‘bout their poetry
Leaving many fretting ‘bout their poetry
And I say:
They crashed the server
But they didn’t lose the poetry
They crashed the server
But they didn’t lose the poetry
The Poem of Three Days was controversial
Evidence of our turbulent times
Suddenly the website crashed and burned
Leaving no place to post our rhymes
We tried to login oh, so many times
And I say:
They crashed the server
Wondering now if there was ill intent
They crashed the server
Actions of a black hat dissident?
Crying-baby landing page rocked
While all of us were watching the clock
There is no promise made nor guarantee,
That our poems will be stored indefinitely
Store them elsewhere, protect your poetry
And I say:
They crashed the server
But they didn’t lose the poetry (this time)
They crashed the server
But they didn’t lose the poetry
Freedom came our way today
New servers up and running fast
Some glitches in the system yet to tame
Hopefully all of these too shall pass
Until then we’ll raise a glass
To poetry!
They crashed the server
But they didn’t lose the poetry

Quick response by admin, thankfully
How many days are there, in our all consuming weeks
Not enough, too many, perhaps we need a little tweak
For people that slave hard, days don’t require a name
There just continuities of time, without a rhyme or aim
Earth just keeps spinning, and reality couldn’t care less
Moon hangs on in there, apparently not out of interest
Sun is a big magnet, holding our solar system together
Milky Way spirals a black hole, without any given effort
Life the only interested party, stands watching the clock
Remainder of the universe, doesn’t bother taking stock
God on the other hand, sees everything happen at once
Satan can pop up anytime, conjuring his cunning stunts
Ridiculous as this seems, our reality is the human mind
All is relative to the observer, good, bad, average, kind
Time’s definitely the driver, of linear inexorable wonder
Without its fatal effect, we’re dead in perpetual slumber
So how do we tweak our days, make them work in favor
Stop bearing progeny into poverty, for fodder and labor
My dog has it better, I’m disgusted to be brutally honest
The absolute insanity, unfeasible populations among us
This cycle must be broken, everyone deserving of a bite
Why do you bear ten children, unable to afford them life
Seven days a week, three hundred and sixty five, a year
Scavenging for tomorrow, furthering their slavery career

I will see you Thursday, she says, all settled, without my answer.
Not needing it. She sells insurance. She is pushily confident.
I cringe, want to bail, but do not want her to stay another hour or two.
I have already wasted two hours saying no to more insurance.
What will be different on Thursday?
How can she not hear the word “no”?
She is my cousin, she should know that no is no. Right?
Of course we did lose touch for twenty-five years.
She recently called me, and I answered, delighted.
She said she wanted to come visit.
I invited her, happy.
Cleaned the house for nothing.
She came in dressed as management.
There was limited chatting.
I kept watching the clock.
My husband barricaded himself behind his office door, recognizing this type.
Mouthfuls of persistent 'you-need-to-buy these' came out of her mouth.
A sales presentation, under the pretense of getting re-acquainted.
I doubt she knows a thing about me she did not know
Twenty-five years ago.
Cannot say I want to learn anything about her either.
I will call and text her a cancel for Thursday when she is on her way home.
She already said she cannot answer a text in the car.
A clue that would have been helpful two hours sooner.
I started devouring the fudge muffins I baked for no reason.
As we sit in anticipation watching the clock countdown
Our minds racing filled with thoughts of renaissance
The talk turns slowly to the making of vows
And we think about sleep and the years reset
After everything that edified us as we celebrate
What will this year bring as we welcome the outset
Filled with optimism at the new years outset
The clocks count our blessings in their continued countdown
As we strive forward small victories we celebrate
As we enter the dawn of our renaissance
As all the negatives we purge and reset
And positivity our mantra that was the vow
In our minds eye we remember that vow
Staying strong and positive like at the outset
Remembering each day to pause and reset
As we tick off goals like the tick tock of a clocks countdown
Positive thoughts kickstart our personal renaissance
As we grow and allow others to grow we continue to celebrate
As we recognise our growth it gives cause to celebrate
Soon we tick off that almost insurmountable final vow
We allow no negativity to hinder our renaissance
As not only we survive but thrive from the outset
No longer do we hear the clocks ominous countdown
As we grow we need less that thought of reset
As we win we watch others still in need of a reset
But with each milestone etched is cause to celebrate
And now we are the ones in control of the countdown
As others see us and admire our vow
And we share its about being consistent, being steady from the outset
As we by our renewal are able to contribute to others renaissance
Be alert in guarding against relapse following renaissance
As the world will try to inevitable push you to reset
But they have not witnessed your strength since the outset
The world fails to grasp its each day you celebrate
And now you have no need of the vow
As you usher in the final countdown
I vow to live my life with every reason to celebrate
And I realise from the outset it was life that I reset
I feel revived and restored in my renaissance as I end the countdown
Even though I know you, I still love you
Stop measuring my capacity to love you, it can't be measured.
Stop watching the clock for my demise, it will not be.
I realized how much God loved me,
when he sent me you and now I love him so much more. You want be alone anymore.
Even though I know you. I still love you
Stop saving your money, and please empty all financial reserves
to pay my price, your love have been your greatest sacrifice.
Relax take comfort, there is no bill
I am here because I love you, I need you, and here at my will
Even though I know you, I still love you
cars, diamonds, houses are not necessary
your love, time, and presence are my greatest luxury.
You are my treasure and
You are my REWARD!!!
Even though I know you, I still love you
I will not ignore, leave, or abandon you.
I don't care what you have done, or where you have been
Because what you are good or bad,
You are Mine!!!! mine now, and mine forever.
I've been waiting up late for you,
watching the clock like a featured film.
Suspense waits no longer.
Here you arrive at 12 am
with a firework's bang.
At this hour,
this is your greeting?
Hello, January,
we need to talk....
I haven't seen you in months,
and you come barging in.
You come on so strong,
but sometimes you can be so cold.
You let me down last time you were here,
like torrents of hail and snowy hills.
Ah, snow can be fun, though,
and you did warm me up
with hot cocoa and a blanket.
Thanks for your reviving comforts.
What I'm trying to say is
that I've missed you,
and I forgive you.
I hope you can forgive
my past as well.
I'm sorry about my negative attitude
and my disorganization.
We should go on walks more
and eat healthy meals together.
I promise I'll be kinder,
and I'll try to appreciate
all the good you offer me.
Can we now start anew?
Tick tock, tick tock, the sound of the clock
A constant reminder that time never stops
There must be something that can be done
To slow down the time, how quickly it runs
From seconds to minutes to hours then days
Calendars form an unsolvable maze
Tick tock tick tock, I'm taking stock
How much is wasted, how much is forgot
I must contribute before it's too late
Do something beneficial and not hesitate
So much can be done in so little time
But I must get moving, hands starting to climb
Tick tock tick tock, There's no roadblock
I can't slow the time by watching the clock
I twiddle my thumbs and constantly *****
Waiting for others to flip their switch
Then criticize them without lending a hand
Sleepwalking in daylight just shuffling the sand
Tick tock tick tock tick tock tick tock...
Without you, my life just merely exists.
Because without you all my hopes and dreams are just that.
For you have put something wonderful in my world.
It is there your words I love to hear.
The one's that let me know how much you care.
It is without you that my eyes are blind with no sight to see.
For you have brought marvelous beauty to what didn't exist.
It is there in my heart that is a dark and lonely feeling.
One to which now you fill with joy and happiness.
For without you, the music was just something to ease the hurt.
But now it is something more as I hear each key on the piano play.
It is our time we spend though far away.
It is your smile I see when I close my eyes to pray.
It's your heart I feel as I lay down at night.
As I think of what it would be like with you by my side.
It is there my days grow long as I wait the day of us to be.
I hear David Nevue as he plays, Watching the Clock.
As I count the minutes slowly passing by.
For it is without you my soul desires to love.
As my pain turns into tears from the love I have for you.
Like a Cry of the Sea, I hear my waves crash the inside of my being.
As like the sea, it looks for some place the water can escape its volume.
It is there I am expose to all that God has given.
As I find myself loving you in every way.
But it is your persistent that keeps me fighting to survive.
As you have given me great hopes of true love.
Because without you, I never would of love.
As you are my angel of sweet and pure godly love.
But it is there I love you the most.
As my heart feel you tugging hard.
But it is there I am not without.
Because you complete me forever as my heart belongs to you.
With great expectations of my wildest dream.
It is without you I would just merely exist.
But because of you that I have found my love for life.
That of the spirit of my soul I'm down on bending knee.
As I pray for us never to part this existing of it's being.
But forever love one another with all our heart and my life I give to thee.
Feeling the pain as the solstice is waning
Counting the days till the end brings me home
Keeping a smile through the mess I am wading
Wondering why I am here all alone
Lost in a dreamscape of past tense distractions
Spent too much time with my foot on the floor
Watching the clock seems my new fascination
Boy is it slow, so much now than before
Can’t wait that long behind rush hour traffic
Winter is near and it’s colder than hell
What can I do if my heart isn’t in it
Who out there cares if I’ve something to tell
Taking each step with my eyes facing forward
Still indecision becomes my new friend
Where would I be if I traveled this distance
Without direction and no place to end
Oh well, it seems that the road I am walking
Will lead me back to the place I can rest
If I pursue what my life has been missing
All at the same time while passing the test
I've had many one night stands, that left me empty
Spent way too much on whiskey, and on beer
But the one thing, I find, as I get older
Is that lonely, is my biggest fear
My friends have all gone on, to get married
And here I sit, on this barstool again
My troubles I share with the bartender
Hoping that he'll be my friend
It's lonely within these four walls
Even worse is my heartache and pain
From knowing that my future won't change much
And tomorrow will be more of the same
Lonely in self, and lonely in love
Lonely and empty inside
This lonely makes me feel incomplete
But is lonely really a crime
Seven precious hours I've wasted
Just watching the clock on the wall
Wondering if the silence that surrounds me
Is the sound of a heart gone AWOL
Can you lend me an ear if you have one
Would you care to spare some of your time
To listen to a man who needs answers
Is being lonely really a crime
Lonely in self, and lonely in love
Lonely and empty inside
This lonely makes me, feel incomplete
But is lonely really a crime
Lonely in self and lonely in love
Lonely and empty inside
This lonely for me has gone on for so long
I think I'm starting to loose my mind
This lonely haunts me
Most of the time
But is lonely really a crime.....
