-- pt 3

half of everything

deteriorating cardboard,
floating shamelessly through storms and swells,
lost its balance as the sun broke the surface of the ocean.

one armed girl,
with a half-heart beating drowsy and slow,
tipped into the sea as the sun sunk its rays into the waves.

she sang this song,
as her lungs filled with water,
she sang for the unborn, for the sons and daughters:

"i die knowing the warmth of the sky,
i die knowing the truth behind their lies,
i die with my eyes open and free--"

then the Son reached out and saved me.

rant

So what is up with kids now a days going to freakin raves all the time, putting on ridiculous looking childish bracelets and partying until they throw up their guts?! It makes me sick. Like, when did this become cool? It's all so fake, every freaking girl looks exactly the same and guess what, they even get the same nick name....
Cool. Really really cool. So original. I just love it.

I could just squash their poofy hair. Seriously, it gets old. I know it's only a trend, but I also know it will leave them in the dust, drugs running through their brains, with glow sticks still bright and their gobbed on makeup in tact.

Bottom line, why can't I be more loving, when it is obvious these girls are going to regret all this someday? And why am I so arrogant?
