Let's pray

To whom?

To where?

Up there?

I just stare

At the quietness 

Up there!

Why do we pray?

Isn't it gods will anyway?

It doesn't matter what you pray for

It's gods divine plan what he has in store

I've tried praying

But never did i receive hope

Left harmed without a rope

Religion to me

Is a disease of the mind

Controlling you

Until you go blind

I can't partake in this sheep based path

Oh! But if i don't follow him

I'll burn in hell from his wrath!

........sounds like blackmail to me.

K.j.a.

It's hard to pretend to be smart

When I'm so lazy 

When I'm drowning in work but sit here idle

But I'll keep on going, 

Because hey, why not?

I'll go to the local college

Live a local life

Here in the state called purgatory

All my friends around me are doing stuff,

All my friends seem to have a life

Me, I don't even swim anymore

Just hope I don't drown

When my feet can't touch the bottom anymore

Sloth: the deadliest of the seven sins

Though it is a cute animal, I'll admit. 

I can't climb out of the pool when the lightning comes

Because I'm analyzing the rain, 

Measuring droplets

Well, forget you, forget your stupid grades

Forget your straight A's

I'll get A's and B's and C's 

Work in a cubicle, trapped with my insecurity

Believing I am nothing

Yeah, I can write, but what's the use of that?

It gets annoying sometimes, all the words in my head. 

Why write these poems when there's no one to read them?

Why should I live when I'd rather be dead?

Maybe I'm not really lazy, 

I just think more than do. 

Still, I feel so left behind

There's no way to change it, 

My utmost hate for myself

Is like glue

Which sticks me here, to my bed, 

So forget everything else.

Stay awake dear sun

do not sleep tonight

all is not equal

in dark and in light,

do not hide your rays

at the closing of day

your comforts are stripped

when you steal away,

though moonshine pierce through

tis' not quite the same

darkness proves terror

and fear have a name,

show yourself worthy

as king of the skies

cast out the darkness

compel it to die.

I pray for people to understand

They don't have to pray for another land

There are so many things wrong right here

And if you don't see you will now hear.

I pray for the people in WA

Losing their homes in entirely the wrong way

I pray for the nurses who risk their life

Who never get a pay rise despite their strife

I pray for the kids getting abused and beaten

As they are held by those I would call creatin'

And at last I pray for something of mine

I pray for the electricity companies to get off the ass' and 

FIX THE BLOODY POWER LINE

Autumn

Leaves fall

And they swirl

Like fire, orange, red

Everablaze
