The Soda Of Death

No one knew what it was
But the name was intriguing
No one understand what it meant
They didn't know that if you drank it
You would die
So one person drank it and died
But no one knew it was the soda
So more people drank it
They all died too
Finally some guy was like
"Dude it must be the soda"
So they dumped it into the ocean
And then killed all the sea life
Realizing their mistake
The people dumped it down the drains instead
But since all drains lead to the ocean
The ocean was still polluted
The End

I Don't

I don't want no trouble

And I don't want no peace

So I'll just be

I don't want no hatred

And I don't want no love

So I'll just be

I don't want no people

But I don't want to be alone

So I'll just be

I don't want no money

But I hate when I got none

So I'll just be

I don't want religion

But I do believe in God

So I'll just be

I don't want no sins

But I know I've got a Savior

So I'll just be saved

First and Last Job

He was only 17.  Young kid.  Stupid.  Thought he was better than everyone else.  He'd been looking for a job since he was 16.  A solid year with no bites.  He was laying in bed one night and wondered what he could do with his life.  He was young, he had his whole life ahead of him.  He could be anything he wanted to be.  But what?  What could he be?

Then it hit him.

He got home from school the next day.  His parents were gone, just as he had planned for.  Breaking into the safe was easy.  He pulled out his dad's revolver and loaded it.  He grabbed some extra rounds just in case.  He wasn't planning on shooting anyone.  It was just for show.  He stuffed it in his bag and grabbed his old ski mask from when he and his parents went on vacation.  He stuffed that in his bag and then got in his car.  He sat there.

"Ok Carl," he said to himself.  "You're going to do this.  You're not gonna screw this one up.  Of course you are, you always screw up.  NO!  Not this time.  This time I'm serious.  Screw good grades, screw getting a job.  This is my life now."

He started the car and drove to the bank.  It was a small bank.  Hardly anyone was inside.  There was only three people working behind the counter and one woman in line.  He walked inside and then ducked behind a wall quickly.  He'd forgotten to put the mask on.  Okay.  Mask on, gun out?  It felt too early to draw the gun.  But why wait?  He pulled it out.

"Everyone down on the ground!"  he shouted like he'd seen in movies.

The woman in line screamed and got down on the floor.  He walked up to the teller and she looked at him.  She was frightened.  The two men behind the counter had their hands up.

"Umm....I want....money....all your money," Carl said.

"Alright, you want it in that bag?" asked the teller.

"Umm...I don't know...don't you have your own bags?"

"I think so..."

"Okay, well then fill the bags with money and give them to me."

"Alright."

The three bank tellers went to work filling bags with cash.  Carl didn't like this.

"Wait, wait , wait.  Stop.  Keep your money.  This isn't for me."

"So...you're not robbing us then?" asked one of the men.

"No...I'm just...bored I guess...I don't want to be a criminal.  I'm just gonna go."

Carl ran outside got in the car and drove home.  He put the gun away in the safe, went to his room and locked the door.  He laid down in bed and began to thin about other career choices.

Being a criminal wasn't on the list.  But a drug dealer, no that he could do.

Inclined

I am sole and honest for you

I have no place to stand

So let me sleep a while longer

Everything I say can't hold you

My words are just no match

So I'll keep waiting for another year

Oh you are so inclined, inclined to realize

And oh, you are so alone

But I am here to whisper in your ear

Every heart I've taken from you

Seems to disappear

So I'll just talk to myself from now on

You're feeling so far and distant from me

I hate to say your name

So now I can pretend I didn't hear

I've told you before

I'll tell you again

This is the last time

Water in my mouth

I have nothing left

This is the last time

Oh you are so inclined, inclined to realize

And oh, you are so alone

But I am here to whisper in your ear

Darkness

I'm quite alone here

And that's OK

I like the quiet as my thoughts decay

I'm quite alone here

That's just alright

I'd rather be by myself than in a fight

I'm quite alone here

In this darkness

I can pray silently I guess

I'm quite alone here

But I'm really not

God is with me, reading my every thought

I'm quite happy here

All I can do is smile

I'm out of breath, after running for miles

Harmony

Sitting in a room full of sadness

Surrounded by people with no gladness

The ache of a heart

The end before the start

Leaves one the wonder

What else lies under?

A hope remains in the shape of a girl

Who was weak but now conquers the world

Alone and friendless she lies

But onward she looks, up towards the skies

With a sword in hand and a battle cry

She screams that the evil is going to die

For all the pain it caused and love it destroyed

For all the hearts torn and lives soiled

Strong she was born and strong she will die

Living with nature in harmony

Haiku for You

Reaching for a log

Fallen from a nearby tree

Lost and in the fog

Gently down her back

My finger traces downward

A heart with a dot

Beaches line the shore

Shells and rocks rolling downhill

Rolling up and up

I can't write haiku

Because all I can think of 
is "oh hai Ku!" too
