Carpe Diem
"Only in their dreams can men be truly free. 'twas always thus and always thus will be."
Carpe Diem.
Nothing more than false hope and the possibility it promises, as real as, cars of sand.
A call to act on boundless ambition inspires the populus,

Wet River
Hey wet river.
Hello dry bones.
Feel the rhythm?
Hear the tones?
Wet, wet,
The river gives.
Wet, wet,
The river takes.
Walk along the brooks and streams,
Run along the ponds and lakes.
Close my eyes,
I hear no more.
I will exhaust,
I will explore.
Through the forest,
I run, I run.
Fear for when
My time is done.
Kick up your feet,
Enjoy the shows.
This is where the
Rabbit goes.

Bad Things Good People
You don’t like love.
You love it,
Don’t you?
Always have,
Always will.
Necessity is the mother of all creation.
But what about the Father?
In due time you will see,
You will all see.
Father, Mother.
Sister, Brother.
We are all adopted.
One another.
Even though your tears are real,
You know what is owed.
You know the deal
Multiply.
You don’t like love.
You love it

Conscious
Are you really conscious? Aware of your world?
Or can you just not comprehend a life that is so unfurled?
It's this degree of consciousness that needs to be understood.
If we delved a little deeper, enough to lift the intellectual hood.
It's these multiple facets of consciousness that need to be explored.
For the human mind cannot handle just

Utopia
Two great minds had a tete-a-tete
to apply their intellectual grace
to the achievement of a utopian state
and improving the condition of the human race.
Said one, "Religion leads to violence,
foolish thought and senseless wars.
Therefore, replace all faith with science
and utopia will certainly be ours."
Said the second, "No, no, my friend;
the root of all evil is wealth and

Thought Provoking
thought provoking silence
makes a girl
sad
a shattered mirror
where shards glisten
of dreams although beautiful
are dead
Internal
reflection I
am still searching for something
But firework sparks
have glistened in the monlight
where
I am so mesmerized
that i pause to intakke
a single breath
SO cool
is the air
as I watch puffs
of my warm breathe
mingle with heavy thoughts
that cloud my brain
drift away
I see fog rising around my
