I am an artist bound only for the poet's glory....But only achieve half of the success that my dreams aspire to find, And to what do the whispers tell me of this failure...To what end to they haunt my nightmares...my eternal dark dreams...

Can you see the crumbling walls of cities long forgot,

burning ruins in the mind of yesterday,
Neigh does it matter for let skyscrapers replace the rot,

purely for the entertainment of the human race.

Replace the old and rusted.

Can you see the oceans destroyed by mankind's failure,
to fuel machines the we made.
.
Turning their back on mother nature,

purely for the entertainment of the human race.

Reinventing mother nature and her trusted.

Can you see the sky so tainted,

by the insidious and insane.
Calling innovative simply so outrageous,

purely for the entertainment of the human race

"You know you’re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is – wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you’re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself."
