A certain amount of matter

And a little bit of mass

Have found themselves together

Just to process carbon gas

A transformation ever changing

But to the world, a different view

It passes in an instant

Unfettered and unskewed

The scars will heal so quickly

As is they had never been

The struggle to be heard

Above the maddening din

Cento Part Two

Cento Part Two

We are screaming inside but we can’t be heard

Long silence followed then again her voice was stagnant midnight stirred

Pain so extreme as to cause writhing I’m confused by the agony.

Words have no power to impress the mind without the exquisite terror of their reality.

And a pill won’t take the pain away. But it makes you feel good in a different way.

What we call the beginning is often the end. And to make an end is to make a beginning. The end is where we start from.

The Spoils

There are two sides to every story

Only one is generally heard

To the victor go the spoils

To the loser not a word

Who cares what happens later

If the losing is the cost

When the time has come for counting

The die has to be tossed

A decision must be made

An answer must be given

Time cannot be stretched

And history cannot rewritten

When the battle’s over

When the dust has cleared

No one ever really wins

It’s always worse than feared

This parable is not about

A war torn battleground

But the battles faced everyday

Time to face another round
