To avoid the distractions
On the road to dreams.

Surely Knot That Many
Now a days, there are so many distractions,
And computers to figure our transactions!
It comes to mind,
We just may find,
Seven out of five people are bad at fractions!...

Talking Heads
Left or right
the noise drones on

Distractions prized, 
the message gone

What’s right is right
unless it’s left

The truth beguiled
—our soul’s bereft

Premium Member The Meaning of My Life
I realized the meaning of my life and much to my distress,
I discovered that the meaning of my life is meaningless.
All the joy, love and happiness experienced by I
are all just distractions until I die....

PAST:
More time to spare

Less thoughts transcend...

Deception
These are not scratches,
That bare my arm.
They are distractions
To keep me calm.

I have not cut my skin,
The bleeding's from within.

One World many unique and diverse people.
This system speaks about world peace.

So many destructions, distractions and inessential wars
For oil, control….

Distractions in eight grade homeroom are complete today
As I see the finger shaped glasses on my friend Gray
He always pushes the teacher near the edge of the cliff.
I see her biting her fingernails, her hair and her lip....

Distractions
"In the very same way,
that the media distracts
us from what's important, 
by broadcasting trivial mess,
the enemy will attack our
person, in an attempt to 
distract us, from our
PURPOSE."

And carry out your mission 
Believe that you can do it 
Make sure that you have a sharp vision...

Premium Member The Game
So many distractions
my mind runs
one way then the next
not sure what to believe
who would deceive
in order to achieve
news seems all the same
kind of got lame
all you hear is blame
what a crying shame
is it now all called a game....

The government denounced this as wishful thinking and untrue
The masses condemned this act of killing and called for drastic actions
The destruction of this terrorist sect is long overdue....

Purity to vanity
Curiosity to jealousy
Apathy to bitterness

Minor distractions
Wait beyond the earth is doomed.
Sun grew hungry, thus consumed.
Further wait until time tires.
Watch as all motion expires.
Unstitch all that has been sewn.
Witness that which can't be known.
Mould a shape that's yet unseen.
Remake all that has not been.
