Favorite Poem #1: Icarus Schmicarus by Adrian Mitchell

If you never spend your money 
you know you'll always have some cash. 
If you stay cool and never burn 
you'll never turn to ash. 
If you lick the boots that kick you 
then you'll never feel the lash 
and if you crawl along the ground 
at least you'll never crash. 
So why why why - 
WHAT MADE YOU THINK YOU COULD FLY?

QUOTE #1

"Two wrongs doesn't make a right"

                                                                                     ~Thomas Szasz~

SEGREGATED

My flesh is shrinking,
My skin is drying,
My bone surfacing,
My weight vanishing,
I am starving.

Give me food and I'll eat it like a hungry dog,
Give me water and I'll drink it like a dry sponge.

Isolated from the group of ignorant woods,
I'm dying from the inside,
Alone.
