Freedom
Why do we always end up in the place where we began?
Why is it freedom fades away and dies in every land?
I think the problem lies within the reason why we fight,
for it is not to win the war then stand guard day and night
with vigilance. No sadly this is not the cause at all,
and so the stage is set that every time we rise we fall.
Yes, time has shown we do not fi...

A Step Half Made
As lightening shone and thunder blew,
I danced the dance that dancers do.
They danced it back and asked if I
would mind them dancing through the night.
I thought no harm could come of this

and like a wall came crashi...

compensatory delusion
a kindest gesture
