the malaise here that goes by the name...

[frogbat]

Whatever happened to the loving peace
That existed before this?
They say the greater fool is the one that follows
Rather than the one that leads
Should we feign surprise at discovering our soul is a collection of blistered videos?

Whatever happened to the malady
That existed before this?
They say a little knowledge can be a dangerous thing
So what killed the heavenly commodity?
So do we begin a new round each time we hear a bell ring?

Whoever destroyed this childish boy
That existed before this?
They say everything we do is trite and futile
So who raped the innocent joy?
Should we really turn into the enemy spewing out vicious bile?

 

[Bacchus]

I love your poetry, bat

Just the bang and the clatter
As an angel runs to ground...

the oracle knows all........

"...spewing out vicious bile"

I think that accurately describes so many in society today. And it's so easy to succumb to it and do it yourself.

nice one!

need money, love like
you've never been hurt,
and dance like no
one's watching.**
