Bluff with Scorn


Pointed threats, they bluff with scorn
Suicide remarks are torn
From the fools gold mouthpiece
The hollow horn plays wasted words
Proves to warn that he not busy being born
Is busy dying

It's Allright Ma (I'm Only Bleeding)

The World Jarred


        Catell reached forward, lunging and the world jarred with a screeching, searing flame of red that weaved, burst, and then sank sharply into itself, leaving nothing but a total dead black.

        What strange phenomenon we find in a great city, all we do is stroll about with our eyes open. Life swarms with innocent monsters.

Belief Alone


       Any premise which bases it's salvation on blind belief alone is bound to be wrong i felt. It isn't fair to those who find it impossible to believe, those who have to be convinced, shown, who believe in nothing but the truth.
