Greatness? No, Thanks
"Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon 'em." — Twelfth Night, Act II, Scene V Some are born to crowns and gold, With power strong and wealth untold.

Yes, I know
It’s really quite hard I was dealt a bad hand Nothing written in the cards And I don’t have a plan I couldn’t make this up I couldn’t if I tried I guess this is the point That I’m at in my life I’m batting for first base And I’m back at square one Always end up in this place When I think that I’m done I’m...

Laziness
My heart and mind don't align I yearn for dreams to yield but vegetate Putting off things for the very next day My willpower is always at its lowest Laziness floods my habits and goals Until I drown in unsuccess. The bed, so invitingly soft It tempts me into a languid slumber While a half-finished coffee mug Sits cold on my window...

Lazy
A lazy man sings Of how much work his desk brings, But too lazy is he To do anything but sleep. A lazy man gives So many explanations, yet still Nothing, nothing but sleep. A lazy man's wish Is to one day be rich But not a day does he Sow, so he can reap....

An occasional gust of wind will lift the translucent white voile curtains and then drop them like a child losing interest. The effect is like flash photography, a burst of sudden sunlight that paints our irises, then quickly fades. It’s a cool Paris morning. In the low 50s. The windows are open and we forgot...

Being In the Mind of a Savage
Being in the mind of a savage. All I know is how to act ferociously. Manipulating the minds of the weak, fearful, and the victims. Beating them into submissive. Emasculating the strongest, just to see him break. Dismiss him of his role, and never to see his family again. Being in the mind of a savage. I destroy, divide, and conquer. tearing...

If laziness gets a fair chance One can never at all advance If health must be kept intact Exercise must be the act Prayer is the curing pill Peace in mind it will fill When a prayer is made True bliss will pervade If prayer is resorted to The best God will do When duty is pending Upon you it is depending First complete it soon Make it...

Premium Member Perspective of Nonsense
Once upon a time but not so long ago, A man sat by a pond dangling his big toe. A rather large fish enjoying his daily swim, Noticed the mans big toe that kept enticing him. The man saw the fish as he sauntered by, He wanted that tasty fish and he must fry. His pole already baited was lying by...
