I Am
I am orange.
Not as joyous as yellow,
nor as angry as red.
I am the clouded sky,
no rain, no snow, no sleet, no thunder,
but just that clouded sky.
I am the clocks of the world,
trapped in the voids of time.
Never stopping for one person,
always moving forward
and never looking back.

Irrelevance
What does it matter to you?
The loss of my dear friend, whose life you took prematurely.
You say you feel remorseful, that you should have been the one to die,
yet, when I look into your eyes,
I only see;
Hatred
Apathy
Bitterness
Hostility
and most disturbing of all,
Joy.
I leave you now,
to all that is due,
to your irrelevance in my life.

The Greatest Tragedy
The greatest tragedy is...
1. We are unable to think on a secular level, only on an egocentric one.
2. Our existence is predetermined to fail and recreate itself.
3. The world will eventually end
4. People have to struggle to survive without food, water and/or shelter
5. The world can in fact feed everyone, but it is too busy with the Nuclear Age to even care.
6. War still exists, and with war, hatred is bred
7. The environment is slowly dwindling away as we speak
8. The children of the world, who are supposed to be its saviors, are ruining their lives with gang activities
9. A person can no longer fully trust another without there being at least one conflict
10. We, the human race, for our selfish and violent ways

Word of the Day I
Yep. I'm doing week AND day now. Exciting, right?
Anyway, here is the word of the day;
Fallacy - a false or mistaken idea, an often plausible argument using false or invalid inference
Sentence using the word:
"The abstract nature of writers often combine fallacious material combined with reasonable evidence to create a unique work of literary art."

Quote of the Week IV - Zambendorf
I actually chose this one only because of his name. Yet, now that i had actually read the quote, I respect the view of this character composed by James P. Hogan in Code of the Lifemaker
"Scientists are the easiest to fool. They think in straight, predictable, directable, and therefore misdirectable, lines. The only world they know is the one where everything has a logical explanation and things are what they appear to be. Children and conjurors--they terrify me. Scientists are no problem; against them I feel quite confident."
Basically, it means that people who don't think abstractly are easier to manipulate than those who can think abstractly. Remind you of something Khari?

Cursed Martyrs of Truth
Tis a poem I wrote 4th Period today. Read/Comment! And enjoy!
Cursed Martyrs of Truth
Good and Evil.
What’s the difference?
In this world of masked beings,
Tell me O great rose of malice.
What does it mean to be human?
To have a complete and enthralling existence,
If we actually do exist,
Maybe we are just some game for blind beings
Or just a pure accident that was never meant to be.
Rose of Hatred, what does this mean to you?
A rose, hidden behind that glorious mask of solitude,
A mask with eyeholes to truth.
You say we are hear to be martyrs of peace,
To be mere sacrifices for the future children,
Yet I cannot accept this matter as reality.
We are
Just because we are.
