Immortality
A quiet and fervent wish
by death-fearing ones 

Silence has fallen
but we have been tricked before
Don’t let your guard down

Crocodile tears flow
to a pile of vicious lies
and no one is moved

I rarely follow the “pause or cutting word” rule. But I try hitting most of the others :)

Do you really know
how to tell the difference?
I do. How ‘bout you?

Is your tinfoil hat
on a bit too tight these days?
Where are the white coats? 

Appropriate for the day :D

Help those starving ones
by donating time, money
Yet you do nothing

(feelin’ kinda brassy today - ignore some of these poems…poking at someone)

And while obsessing
over the lives of others
her life passed her by

Is your tinfoil hat
on a bit too tight these days?
Where are the white coats? 

My eyes are open
but watching the laptop clock
to once again close

With just a whisper
I quiver and become wet
Anticipation 

Insanity swirls
the crashing waves engulf her
While the world watches

Blackened and twisted,
she spews words full of hatred
in her cries for help 

The spirit is not
so illusory as it
believes it to be 

The soft pattering
of rain, oh, so gently falling
on the colored leaves
