Fell Asleep
Many fell asleep. They slept while many were killed in factories of death. This allowed for others to take over all of the land. The system was working, and many worked to death, leaving no time to love and rest. They fell asleep, under the plan to kill and replace all they can. They wanted to...

The Velvet Life
Oh, my love, your intoxicating eyes, Like lotus flowers, your lips, a treasure to the skies. Your waist, a velvet lotus, your voice, a cuckoo's call, Leaves me breathless, and in heaven's thrall. Show me your mercy, give me your soul, Take me away from Satan's door, make me whole. Oh, my love, my goddess, my peace, my heart, Return to me,...

She loved the fact that she could use her beauty to unleash her objectives and goales upon men who wished to be freind or kind to her. She flirted with my wife and ignored me. I felt uncomfortable.

Yearning To Breathe

Factory drones at minimum wage, the waitress that’s making even less. We are all looking for that ladder, to help us out of this stinking mess. We are the colors of the spectrum, We’re more than...

Old and New 4 : Continue To Sing
OLD AND NEW 4 : CONTINUE TO SING Sipping cold champagne in silver cuff links at Thai restaurants eating red curried prawns while workers gape at former leaders sold Forlorn women starve in naked hospital corridors rulers drool in blue pools with pink jewelled lovers Rushing from airport to airport bargaining for who knows On plains of poverty children...

Premium Member A Bookstore Workers Creed
Working behind the counter of a bookstore I have a chance to look… to browse among our shelves and find the oldest books I love the feel of them in my hands, to gently turn their pages and what’s more I like to think about the paths these books have taken before coming to rest here inside our...
