We live to absolve the sins of the past.
To assuage the guilt of the hurt we caused.
When appetency overrides wisdom.
How atrocious is the self when centered.
And evils allure tempts the unwary.
When life goes awry and you're all alone.
The anguish of it makes you swear out loud.
Yet difficult times can be auspicious.
With a little luck you can make it big.
If you find the gift hidden in the dark!

At breakneck speed I hurl fast
Towards impending doom
Singing an after work tune
Excited to get home to nothing.
I pass a car swerving as I
Swear out a gentle concern
Ignoring what lies ahead as I
Pass it in an instant
A reminiscent color scheme
Wizzes by my driver’s side
Peering wearily into blackness
At those brilliant red eyes
Sinking into a relaxed state
Calming wonders in my mind
I turn up the happiness
That blocks out the outside.
Red eyes… closer than they
Dare to peer suddenly
Decide my fate at 100 mph
In a blurry limp hurry I collide...
Two souls meet in the blackness.
One, singing a tune to sound waves
The other, in a wireless haze..
Both excited to get home to nothing.
