Premium Member Not a tear for Napoleon
Like Napoleon, I was born. He led the French army, I made sure the sheep got shorn. And while I was covered deeply in sheep's doo, he met his Waterloo. And when on Saint Helena he died, none of my sheep cried....

The Introvert That We Lack
He is calm, a gentle sound, In his future we're like staying in cemetery Softly whispers to the heart, From the noise, it sets diversely Peace is Encounter in quiet sounding bed In the...

lack of empathy
the lack of empathy  Old people are made to feel  it is their duty to die and give  room for a new generation  of fewer and fewer births  The right to abortion is, by law every woman's right  Henceforward survivors will have shining bikes, playground is of a past not revisited  A world inhabited by monsters ...

Ain't Here
What a tragedy Nothing but life No love just reality People making promises They say they'll keep But I've been wondering Where's the loyalty Mindless sayings and Heartless love Who on earth are We supposed to trust Family supposedly The best remedy But really just a lot of misery...

Do I lack intellegence?
Must I be chosen? To even arrive here? And since my arrival, I've seen girls dressed in bright colors. Their ankles shown, through the skirts delight. Tell me, since the sun shines bright, why don't I know what suits me? When raining begins, why does my face seem to not fit the hat I wanted to wear? As if...

An Utter Lack of Pants
My strung-out limbs grow like plants Head in the clouds, toes with the ants Branches sprout, leaves strewn about, Now I’m walkin’ ‘round with an utter lack of pants My eyes swirl like big lollipops Cogs and wheels, they just won’t stop Sugar melts, candy belts Now I’m full of air like a cold can of pop My propeller spins on...

The Beheaded
I go to bed at three, I usually wait beneath the plum tree, That tree is useless like my name, You and I are in a blissful game! You are too sweet for me, Never lived inside me as if you were a great flea, You are too weak for me, Never spent a day without thinking of me! But do you care...

Lack of ing Soul
My soul has been burning as though what used to flow through me has dripped to a close, A dry spout without any where to go. Without that wet, raw power flowing through my veins, without any heart to pump it, It allowed all the fires of the oblivion to light. Without any flaws that stick rigid in my eyes, Without any holes...

SWEET TALK WAS SOUR IN MY HOUSE
The lemonade I drink is sour, reminds me of my childhood, the sugar was not spilled before my feet, while I was conquering the barren land of life - on which I was walking, mom and dad say the sweet life is expensive, but we always had sugar in the kitchen vitrine, I guess for guests, what do I know. Come to think...

Premium Member The Lack of Light
It's just happened again From fine to not Like some twines or vines have got me caught The sun it shines, had spring in my step Then the pain appears within my chest I'll distract with work, have a complex job Focus my thoughts, clear the fog The whole of my ribs begin to ache Just nothing at all makes my heart re-break I'll...

Support War
Support War Surprisingly it wasn't Brian's account Where the war happened It was bad and bitter and abrupt The reps were struggling Their job was hard not just calls They weren't updated on their stats A very important BPO metric All got their info on this good or bad Their Team Leader simply didn't tell them Some stats are hourly some daily others monthly The daily...
