Welcome to hell
It's where freedom don't ring her bells
It's where the Seals don't ring the bell
It's where we kill everything and send it to hell

Peyton Proved His Excellence In His Shortcut Life
Peyton, a thirteen year old boy
Looks on, pose for a photo;
He’s in for a test with sound health
Going to rejoin school
After long break for crucial treatment
And awesome wait
After the heart transplant;
He looks like a young man of thirty
Peyton, a boy from Ohio near Cincinnati;
Pure in heart, courageous and innocent,
Enters

Shortcut
Shredded and malformed
No longer me
maybe i never was
The lone survivour living in the world of the undead
Feeling no connectiion to the world around
Staring at marshmallow clouds as they shrug at my existence
The brain using my eyes to find some redemption
for the sin that is my life
Cursing my tears
Pain that never falters
and joy that is never

The Shortcut
I thought I knew a shortcut, a quick way through the wood
But I fear I missed a turning, for I knew not where I stood.
Unfamiliar and oppressive, which way should I go
Trees I'd never seen before, tracks I didn't know.
It was late in the afternoon, the light was getting dim
I was lost and frightened, panic

Graveyard Shortcut
================================
Hiding in the shadows, there
at the corner of my eye,
I am slowly made aware
there is someone else nearby...
"Who is that?!" I bellow then,
"Hiding in the shadows there?"
"I've no use for boogeymen!",
I yell into empty air.
One more sheepish peek I dare,
feeling harebrained to have thought,
hiding in the shadows, there
was some scare that there was not....
But my

Shortcut Through the Woods
Forest heavy with illusion
It's for the best that
You stay in seclusion
In the middle of nowhere
Left with a suitcase of riddles
No clue and no cab fare
Just beware
Of the overbearing strangeness
Don't doubt the range
Of his overshadowing greatness
I must say it's quite impressive
A little expensive for my expenses
What do you expect from expert sentences
Engineered, constructed
Using unorthodox

A Bad Shortcut
This season, the Easter Bunny was running late.
He made a bad decision that sealed his fate.
Nobody can say that his choice was good.
He took a shortcut through a low-income neighborhood.
Some young hood carrying a switchblade knife,
put an end to the fabled Easter Bunny’s life.
That was very tragic and not at all funny.
He was hopping through

The Shortcut
The Shortcut
By Elton Camp
Curtis is confident of his ability to navigate
At finding the best shortcut, he sure is great
He never wants to take the long way around
When a more efficient route can be found
He was running late one day when driving
To avoiding being tardy, he was striving
If direct through the mountains he could pass,
Curtis would

Shortcut
I was supposed to give birth
But my unborn
Found a way
To avoid the world
As we know it
Under the scars
Meanings are rumbling
That I can no longer hear
The beat of my heart

Shortcut To the Soul
The optic nerve is the longest nerve in the body,
But its really just a message carrier to the brain,
Where sight is actually seen.
The ear, on the other hand,
Is the on-ramp for music,
Leading down the higway,
Directly to the soul.

Shortcut To Nowhere
I'm in a hurry,
Don't know why,
Have no appointments,
Don't plan today to die,
So what's the rush?
It's the American way
Get it done...
That very day!
I guess other peoples
Think we're weird
Perhaps we are,
Or maybe over-steered
Let's hurry up,
Finish this,
Get on with that,
Somehow we hope
To pull time from a hat
Worst sinners New Yorkers,
We work while we sleep
Always pondering
Some problem deep
Must be
