i cant help but wonder..july 5th...how many people will die? i dont see how its fair i see another year and their lives end on my birthday...but i cant help and think how many will be born...open your eyes, baby boy. the world is a wide open space filled with tragedy and love. haha oh wait, they go hand in hand, how silly of me. but nawww its not all bad. you have to promise me you'll grow up to be happy and positive. dont let that rain cloud hover over you. learn to dance in the rain. jump in puddles. smile when the sky's blue and dont let a pink & purple sunset pass you by. never give in to the fear in your heart and love unconditionally. Oh baby boy, make up for what we've all missed and gave up. teach others how to live. dont let them drown in apathy and tragedy like we have.
Baby boy, shine so bright, dont let the world pass you by...
We prey as wolves among the sheep and slit the necks of soldiers while they sleep
love is like being punched in the stomach.
lets cut the nooses they have tied around our necks
Thought i'd update. the middle one really is the only one i feel like right now, but they all apply. god damn.
My favorite poem ever
i just needed a place to put it for now
:]
'Once on a yellow peice of paper with green lines
he wrote a poem
And he called it "Chops"
because that was the name of his dog
And thats what it was all about
And his teacher gave him an A
and a gold star
And his mother hung it on the kitchen door
and read it to his aunts
That was the year Father Tracy
took all the kids to the zoo
And he let them sing on the bus
And his little sister was born
with tiny toenails and no hair
And his mother and father kissed a lot
And the girl around the corner sent him a
Valentine signed with a row of X's
and he had to ask his father what the X's meant
And his father always tucked him in bed at night
And was always there to do it
Once on a peice of white paper with blue lines
he wrote a poem
And he called it "Autumn"
because that was the name of the season
And thats what it was all about
And his teacher gave him an A
and asked him to write more clearly
And his mother never hung it on the kitchen door
because of its new paint
And the kids told him
that Father Tracy smoked cigars
And left butts on the pews
And sometimes they would burn holes
That was the year his sister got glasses
with thick lenses and black frames
And the girl around the corner laughed
when he asked her to go see Santa Claus
And the kids told him why
his mother and father kissed a lot
And his father never tucked him in bed at night
And his father got mad
when he cried for him to do it.
Once on a paper torn from his notebook
he wrote a poem
And he called it "Innocence: A Question"
becuase that was the question about his girl
And thats what it was all about
And his professor gave him an A
and a strange steady look
And his mother never hung it on the kitchen door
because he never showed her
That was the year Father Tracy died
And he forgot how the end
of the Apostle's Creed went
And he caught his sister
making out in the back porch
And his mother and father never kissed
or even talked
And the girl around the corner
wore too much makeup
That made him cough when he kissed her
but he kissed her anyway
because that was the thing to do
And at three A.M. he tucked himself into bed
and his father snoring soundly
Thats why on the back of a brown paper bag
he tried another poem
And he called it "Absolutely Nothing"
Because thats what it was really all about
And he gave himself an A
and a slash on each damned wrist
And he hung it on the bathroom door
because this time he didnt think
he could reach the kitchen.'
