Organized Chaos

  The world is made of glass, and a rock has         just broken through
     The           world has shattered, as if by          some revolutionary         breakthrough.
The rock         is a revolution, and to us           he just threw
A pebble        from the moon,          on            a trip now through.

            But as t    he shards collide, a new standard is set
As the grains divide,       the shards, land in a set
     The pattern of               chaos      is order, order chaos set
And so a bridge was           built, but a rock won the set

                                         And so begins the race
Two distinct in race
                As chaos        thrives my heart will race
                                                    But the expansion of order will too race.

        From order,                       chaos comes through
And the sporadically              changing norms show that nothing is set,
And once you see beauty in entropy, you find that chaos and order are of the same race.

Friends No More

Friends No More

Once I was your friend,
But it seems that's reached it's end
The world is a bowling ball,
And we are both just pins.
 
Never again will we laugh and talk
And never again will I be mocked
You've severed the rope that connected us,  
And now I fall towards rocks
My emotions are just a string, just twine
That you twist and that you wind,
That you light aflame most days
And that you treat as grime

My jokes to you are dirt
And to me that just hurts,
So I dug a hole through my jokes
And buried myself so you'd smirk.
The others you speak of, you treat me the same.
I am a cat in the ocean and you are to blame
For the ocean comes from me,
And from you the emotions came.
My mind is a stone and you are a drill,
Into the stone you went a little.
At first it felt good, but then the stone cracked
And there isn't a cure because I am not ill.
You are a truly sick man
You are just an empty can
After I remove the cover the lies you told are clear
So I've just one demand.
Please sir, next time drill into yourself show us all the scam.
I do not regret knowing you, I regret that our friendship was a sham.

Deleterious to Health

I've got a cot with shingles wrought.
I clean each drop off of the cot
But still, I find so many blots.
I work, I ache, I sleep, I wake,
And yet, I find, my cot, still breaks.

They talk of how my hands turn black
With soot, from keeping it intact,
yet me my cot has sought attack,
I fight, I lose, I yield, I lose,
It seems, I've lost, the will to move.

My work, in vain, caused great disdain
to me, my name, and all in this game.
Each day, I claim, it bursts aflame.
I fix, I change, but it's ephemeral.
I never will escape the peril.

I want simply a chance to lead
A day where once I can be free
A day where once I can attack ,
I choose, I pick, I aim, I miss
There is never a day where I get success.

Yet friends, they come, they lift the load.
To me their worth is more than gold.
They are what I would not forebode.
Family, and friends, and love, they send.
They keep my life from bitter end.

Winter Wonderland

I once lived in bliss, as if a cloud floating in the sky,
But one day I was forced from my home.
It then became a distant memory, a lost file.
Then, there was only the fall and the cursèd groans.
Others from my home fell with me, and many would cry,
"Why? For what purpose have the stitches of our lives been sewn?
Who dictates these events, and when will our tears dry?"
Some tried to answer but I did not; I simply fell without any word or protest.


During the journey from my home there was much chaos.
I looked left and right and watched my friends burn,
As it became much hotter than my home was.
I looked up and down and saw my friends blown,
And ripped to shreds by the fierce gusts.
Soon the many became the few, and the protests were heard more:
“Who dictates these events, and why must our gold rust?"
Some tried to answer but I did not; I simply fell without any word or protest.
Eventually I could see the ground, and the screams of the others around me.
The fall was coming to an end, and it seemed that even after this fall there is winter.
As I closed my eyes, I waited for the inevitable end, yet death seemed to let me be.
The piles of bodies around me softened my fall, and allowed my flame to flicker.
The survivors began to call out for their families, but unfortunately,
Paralyzation is the disease of the survivors. I heard them roar,
“Who dictates these events, and why aren’t we free?”
Some tried to answer, but I did not; I simply watched without any word or protest.


I have now sat in the pile of the dead for three months.
I have seen my friends thrown into the air by growling machines,
And every day I can feel even more the warmth of the sun.
But now I feel the burning spreading throughout my being.
I hear the others’ screams and grunts,
“Help me, I can’t feel my body. I’m burning up and I can’t see anything!
Who dictates these events, and why can’t we triumph?”

Only I am left to answer, but I can’t; I simply fade away without any word or protest.

Silence

Why is it that we always feel strange
when there is no sound?
Have we become so strangled by noise
That we cannot stand quiet in a crowd.
Even by oneself, you hear a wide range
Of rhythmic patterns or ones of cacophonic poise.
Society rushes and makes din so constantly, that we only feel comfortable when it's loud.

Yet what is truly precious is the silence.
People need to learn how to appreciate quietness
As they often feel breaking it to be a necessity.
Quietness is a time of pensiveness,
It is where you become entranced with remembrance.
There are no cares or dangers in this serenity,
And people need to learn to enjoy the and precious moments of silence, rather than find them and grimace.

Silence is when your other senses are at their strongest
You feel more, vividly remember the touch, the smell, the beauty, and the emotions of the moment.
Silence is not awkward, it is what you will cherish the longest.

Cracked



I am not the person I was 4 years ago


I still don't know if that's good or bad though

Am I sponge, only leaking what others have said or done

or am I gone, am i absent?

What have I become?


Before I would never give up, but now I am done.

The only thing I can do is break the glass of life and run run run.

Have I begun, is this for Coach Munn, it doesn't feel fun.

But it is for approval, of a man that is dead

It is for the inspiration to escape from dread.

I will always relent, no matter what is sent

to stop my attempt to become a dent

in the course of humanity, not for reasons of vanity,

but because I believe I can be free to choose charity

without remembrance over selfishness and celebrance.


Cogito ergo sum. Those who don't think are doomed.

Nothing but my mind can stop me. People might drop me because I won't not be

some one that doesn't have a copy. No difference, in life I've found the key.

Though the road may be rocky, I don't drive fast and cocky,

I prepare, I dare, I watch, I listen, I stare,

I don't care, if my life goes unnoticed,

I will die bare, and all I do will affect us in the greatest

way, each and every day. I will work and work and I won't play,

until I make a crack, a dent, a hole, one that will last, one that will stay.

Serenity

You sit near a fountain in the middle of the mountains. The sun's warmth blazes upon you, relaxing every muscle. You close your eyes, and just listen to the beauty of sounds nearby. You hear the sound of birds, tweeting rhythmically around you. You hear the chatter of other people; laughing, singing, talking, and the sound of splashing in the water. You open your eyes, and your vision has never seemed so perfect. Everything around seems to emit its own radiance: every sign, every face, pure beauty. You see colors more vivid than ever. The beautiful, green mountains in the distance seem to beckon. They call you to become as majestic, to grow as high. You take in a breath, the air feels fresh and clean. Its as if you had been stuck in smog your whole life, then suddenly it vanished. You feel the breeze against your skin, the warmth of the sun emanating unto your entirety. You close your eyes, and just listen. To the sound of water, falling from the skies. As it taps the ground, in a slow, constant pattern, your mind drifts off. It slowly lulls you into your dreams.
